It’s Hard to Believe NHL Would Allow This

What’s with the sudden concern among the yahoos who run the NHL over “image” just because a player smashes another one on the side of the head with his stick? What’s the beef when league-approved mayhem and assault are what those nitwits think the public prefers, instead of skill and sportsmanship?
Can anyone imagine an NFL referee calling time out and standing by while a couple of players punched each other around, then finally intervening like the ref at the end of a round in boxing?
No other sport has someone officially called an “enforcer.”
