It's cool that you're blaming not the player who regularly dishes out brain damage "legally"

hockey is a physical game. there are like two areas that haven't been legislated out: head down when you should have your head up, and ducking/flinching like Girard did last year on the Barbashev hit. taking it further would yield a different, less physical, less entertaining game. part of the skill is guys being smart enough to avoid getting hosed up when they should be able to avoid it. the counterplay is: don't stickhandle like a 10-year-old lol

if Meier doesn't want to have guys looking to hit him like that, he shouldn't be trying to jump on goalie's knees, and (more importantly) he should learn hit avoidance strategies that are drilled into every hockey player since age 12

This is what happens when you disrespect Cam Neely
It's a difficult argument, because most people would agree that playing a physical brand of hockey to intimidate / wear down the opposition is a legitimate strategy. Most people would agree with the philosophy that (for example) "Connor McDavid is the most important player on the Oilers, if you get a chance to lay a clean bodycheck on him you got to take it, as long as you can do it within the rules".

So yeah, we all agree that outright illegal hits are no good, so it's a matter of arguing degrees when it comes to what should be allowed and what should not be allowed.

wise post! the current line is generally fine because there is room for counterplay. it's easy to not get hosed up hideously like Meier did--don't stickhandle over the blueline with your head down. it's easy to not get hosed up like Barbashev did last year--don't crouch and get small when you feel a forechecker coming.

blindside hits were good to ban since there's no counterplay. hits from behind, there's no counterplay. Meier COULD have seen what's coming--he just wasn't skilled enough to avoid it.
