Golden Knights Captain Mark Stone comments on new cross-checking rule
Cross-checking is a part of hockey, according to Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone, who spoke with ESPN's Greg Wyshynski about the expected crackdown.
"Cross-checking has become almost natural in the game. I cross-check. I get cross-checked. That's just how it's been," Stone said. "But if they're trying to get rid of injuries, I can understand why they're doing it. It's a sensitive area. In the playoffs especially, it can get a little out of control."
«II don't know if it's that dangerous. There are definitely other things (I'd) like to see them crack down on as far as supplemental discipline, compared to cross-checking."
