here's the problem guys. yes its a clean hit according to the rules. but if the nhl are serious about preventing concussions, they have to call that as a penalty not because he MEANT to hit him in the head because he probably didnt, but simply because he did. if a blinside checking rule was in place, as it is where i play, players would think twice about going in for it. we can still have big hits in the game but at this rate, someone is going to be killed before the nhl does anything.
you know what seeing it again i think he got no head, but his head hit the ice. i dunno its a tough one. maybe bring a blindside rule in. btw below i meant we had a head check rule not a blindside rule
Mastertons story is 40 years old and he got hit but it was his head hitting the ice from the hit that did him in ,. not the headshot (masterton hit was a clean hit btw)

Clean, awesome hit.
The hit was clean but take notice in the way Carter takes a couple of strides just before the hit. That on the other hand is not allowed.
wrong.
Sorry, only 2 strides there, 4 or more and it would have been charging.
oh okay, so jeff carter kills salmela on the play.
Don't worry, he doesn't have a bad reputation, stupid ass NHL
dirty
what do you know noob
