NM Roundtable: The Crackdown

It’s back and as mediocre as ever! The Nucksmisconduct crew have started this season off by looking at some very timely matters. Namely the impact of the greater enforcement of the obstruction penalties. jimmi.cynic, Kent Basky, Marcus Meyer, OffThePost, and the big fella himself: Yankee Canuck put forth their best efforts to answer the brain straining questions keeping me up at night!
