Re: Maine thread (cont) - Hobey Abbott goes Dancing
What you're leaving out is that the rule requires the referee to determine "intent" when that is nearly impossible. When it's a bang-bang play like that, how can you possibly determine the intent of the player? You can't crawl inside someone's brain and determine that. Anthoine was stopping so he wouldn't run into Cannata, I doubt he ever saw the puck...but if there's any doubt at all, wave off the goal. Just eliminate the clause and have referees officiate the game and leave the headshrinking to trained professionals.
