    Sigh… I guess the Bennett hit isn't allowed because it was "controversial"? The league obviously didn't think it was that bad since he didn't even get a fine for it. Does him getting a penalty on the play automatically disqualify it from your highlight reels? Because it was a bigger hit than all of these combined. I guess it doesn't help that Calgary's so-called "home" announcers were throwing Bennett under the bus and calling the hit late the whole time. I get it that they don't want to be another Boston or Edmonton announcer group (so biased in favour of their teams that it's annoying to listen to), but it seems like they're so worried about being biased that they actually are more likely to downplay anything in Calgary's favour, and oversell anything that's against the Flames. That's not what home announcers are supposed to do. It's a shame Cassie has such a shrill voice for commentating, 'cause at least she's a fan of the team.

    Hey all, a question, which team in the nhl hit the most nowadays? I remember the broadstreet bullies & big bad bruins but idk, i think philly and boston doesnt live up to them names anymore.

    Sportsnet is trying to distract us from Provorov's great hit by naming the video after a smaller hit on him from that game

    The rare legal hit from Ronaldo. He might be the craziest dude in the NHL. He has talent but hes so hot headed he cant control his wildman urges n constantly checks illegally. Always leaving his feet & constantly head hunting.

    Wondering why fights are shorter and refs are breaking them all up?. Wondering why all big hits are penalized now?, read below.

    Department Of Player Safety sent down an unannounced mandate to all officials and linesmen. They are to now break up and or stop a fight when a player loses his helmet. This is all more player safety concern crap over head injuries. Bottom line is fighting is down over 50% from 5 years ago and now there are so many rules in place to prevent or stop fighting that it's nearly fully banned. Let's glance to hits now, with more and more big hits stopping play and generating penalties regardless of rule violation. Nearly all big hits or violent looking ones now are instant ejections and game misconducts. If you are wondering why, ONCE AGAIN it's due to concern for Concussions and CTE. The NHL wants to eliminate ANY play that could lead to a concussion, because they cause CTE. And they think slowly removing fighting will increase player safety. Guess what?. Over 70% of all concussions in the NHL come from hits. Enforcement and " The Code " and fighting in hockey has been around for over 100 years and is a part of the game whether some softy new fans like it or not. The NHL has nearly lost all it's grit and tenacity and emotion. And now all of it's physical play is being sterilized as well. And they wonder why the stands are empty. Jesus Christ the NHL is play doe soft, and I bet within a decade it will be a stick checking only league. RIP Tough hockey.
