On Tuesday, Cruz said he worried that his concerns about Hagel - such as what he sees as Hagel’s refusal to answer certain questions about financial disclosure - were getting lost in the focus on Cruz's style.

3. Hockey is a rough-and-tumble game. No one is denying that and as Canadians anticipate another hockey season, most accept and even cheer the hits that separate hockey from other sports where body contact is avoided.
But hockey has devolved into an often ugly spectacle of fist fights and dirty hits intended to knock opposing players out of the game.
In a growing number of cases, those hits to the head, whether checking or punching, and hits from behind are so violent they injure.
Concussions are a growing problem in the NHL while minor leaguers and young fans watch to mimic their professional heroes.
Sadly, the NHL front office and most team owners seem content to feed fan frenzy for violence. If more people pay for expensive tickets to see the possibility of a brawl and other on-ice violence — as the men who run hockey largely believe — the bottom line takes precedence over player safety and the once good name of the game.
