That performance where his poor tackling technique was at partial fault for one try and at large fault for another ? Where he once again failed to pass the ball . He was good in the air sure and he had a good game but he brings nothing on attack and is a liability in defence . And he brought nothing to the second game . If you go through the four provinces hes fourth behind Tiernan , Payne and Zebo . They are all better attackers , equal or better defenders and they only lose out a small bit on aerial ability . That would be my reasoning . <| sep |> I don ' t see anything that I really need , I ' m very mildly interested in the ranger FA , but I feel like nothing of mine would pique your curiosity , haha <| sep |> If this is the only section of the NHL rulebook that has the instigating penalty then it does . It stipulates that anyone who instigates an altercation receives all of the penalties it lists , there is no or qualifier giving the referee discretion . If this is the rule you guys are listing saying you can get an instigator without a fight then I don ' t believe you are correct . It automatically packages the fighting major and instigator together in the rule cited above and I don ' t see how it can be interpreted differently .
