No touch icing is a rule that needs to come into effect as soon as possible. The risk vs. reward for someone breaking up an icing call is too large for a play that really only lets the team who iced the puck get a change. Very few times have I seen that play result in a scoring chance let alone a goal. For all the people think that fighting has to go because it's too violent just has to watch the play last week involving Kurtis Foster of the Minnesota Wild when he broke his leg slamming into the boards on a icing call and they should be more worried about a part of the game that actually hurts players severely.

  • The reason that guy got hurt was because the guy that hit him went after him instead of the puck. If the guy for the Sharks went after the puck, we wouldn't be talking about this.
  • Well not necessarily yes i agree that the fact that the guy went after him instead of the puck is what broke his leg but you have 2 pplayers going balls out for a puck you always worry o man that guy is going to get wrecked. But it is part of the game
    For people who think that fighting needs to be banned can shove it up there butt
    and yes people get hurt fighting look at Pj Stock and Rob Roy
    ya
    but thats what makesa it hockey
  • The thing is players are always going to finish their checks even if it's icing. I know he did give him a cheap shot but lots of guys get hurt on clean plays.
  • ya but still its part of the game...if guys dont want to get hurt and dont want to take the chance of getting hurtim sure their local golf club or tennis team would love them to join.
