You have got to be kidding me.
Here’s a better view of the hit. You see in that video that Hartnell was coming from somewhere out around Harrisburg, had plenty of time to let up, and didn’t. His two games must be because Albert was lucky enough to not get injured. Either that or Bobby Clarke called Colin Campbell’s house and threatened his dog or something.
In other news, the NHLPA is looking at lobbying for an end to the instigator rule. I’m sure that the fans in Boston and a few other places are eagerly hoping for this so that the Flyers can get their just desserts.

Not sure who disgusts me more - the Flyers or the league.
The more I see this hit, the more it looks like Hartnell is grinding the rail and using Alberts’ head as his skateboard.
Maybe now that Scotty Walker is back, the instigator rule being recalled will be to our benefit, too. Two games is a joke. I’m all for good hard hitting, bloody hockey, but this is crazy.
Well, the rule hasn’t been formally recalled and probably won’t be without some serious hemming, hawing, and gnashing of teeth. But frankly, I hope that it’ll get recalled because it’ll take cheapshot artists getting the crap pounded out of them to get across the point that this kind of cheap garbage can’t take place.
