Mike never said Homer doesn't get mugged. He does, but as even my kid knows when you stand there you are going to get sticked, tipped, and hit from behind. You want to stand there its the price. Always has been and I hope it always is. No one should get to stand there and not pay the price.

I was saying the Wings are masters of the soft pick and leaving that foot out just far enough to impede the opponent or trip him. They are a skill team, but if it was almost any other team they would get naildd so much more. I was glad the refs started nailing them in the Sharks series as it was really bad. I just don't like them getting away with it in the regular season. Not saying they are dirty or unskilled, clearly they are not. Its just irritating to watch it get pulled as much as they do and the refs let it slide.

Edit.
Tom Sharks have some road games against the wild and bjackets also and should grab 3 of the next 4. That jaws theme is getting louder.

I disagree. You should pay a price, but not the kind that is blatantly a penalty and is never called. A crosscheck is a crosscheck. Does it matter where a guy is standing when he gets crosschecked? Is it Homer's fault the D-man isn't big enough or skilled enough to move him without breaking the rules?

Should NBA centers treat the paint the same way and just undercut everyone who drives the lane? Sure it's a foul, but we decided we're just gonig to play it that way?

Maybe they should be able to high-stick, spear, punch, or kick the guy in front too.

I just don't buy it.
