Message: [QUOTE="ForCuseSake, post: 5480307, member: 266"] I agree that era was much worse for head and pocket violators. I acknowledge the crustiness in my belief they didn’t widen heads far enough with current regulations. They’re still too narrow for my taste. I agree with [USER=7179]wgdsr[/USER] that they should bring back penalty release for technicals and non-full time personal fouls when cleared to the box. And while I believe the guidelines around head contact and defenseless players are good, I’d like to see one slight change. You shouldn’t be considered defenseless on a GB. Poorly thrown buddy pass on a clear? Absolutely defenseless. No need to have old school Ronnie Lott like kill shots in the sport. But if the balls on the ground keep your head on a swivel as you run through it! Anything not from behind, or making direct contact to the helmet, with hands close together should be legal. Thanks for indulging my thread derailment! [/QUOTE]
