Maybe I need to soften my stance on Bettman a bit. It's Colin Campbell that needs to go.

The recent touchpoint for debate started with Philadelphia Flyers tough guy Todd Fedoruk being taken off the ice on a stretcher last Wednesday after a fight with Colton Orr of the New York Rangers.

The following day league disciplinarian Colin Campbell told The Canadian Press that it was time to look at fighting in the game.

"I think it's time to ask the question," said Campbell.
I don't like the sound of that, and I'll give Bettman credit for this:

Get rid of the instigator rule and we'll be good to go.
