WTF IS WITH THE INSTIGATOR PENALTY?! They bring in a retarded rule and then use it absolutely randomly.
A few games ago, Torres lays a dirty (surprise, surprise) knee to knee on Mitchell... Doug Murray goes after him and both drop the gloves and fight. Murray gets an instigator penalty.
Next game, Davidson throws a LEGAL hit on a Blackhawk, and a Blackhawk jumps Davidson. They both fight.. no instigator! It was seriously the same exact scenario as the previous game.
Tonight, final minute of play, a few Canucks jump Milan Michalek (who doesn't fight) and Ryane Clowe. One Canuck is choking Clowe from behind while another punches him. Two Canucks are on Michalek. Now this is a perfect candidate for the instigator penalty, since the game is over (4-2, minute left, Sharks on the power play, players jumping Sharks) yet no instigator is called.
Great job inventing a retarded rule and not even using it in the most appropriate way.
Cooke is a [censored], please go get ran over by Thornton some more. At least idiots like Torres will drop the gloves and not hide behind visors.
