That's pretty much my point. It existed in the time of "old time hockey", and didn't deter anyone from playing dirty. The argument that if the instigator was rescinded the Cookes and Tootoos of the world would go away just doesn't make sense.
The only way to completely rid the game of them is the league itself punsihing the players/teams with suspensions. If the rule existed that said offense 1 was 40 games and offense 2 was a full 82, shit would stop.
