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

99% of nhl players have figured out that trying to permanently injure one of their coworkers just because they put themselves in a vulnerable position is not actually a good thing. There are plenty of players that will pull up a bit on a check if it’s going to kill the guy. They can still lay a check and play the body but not be headhunting shitheads like Trouba

yeah lol i'm sure it's because of morality they avoid it and not because the NHL has been slowly selecting it out since it's not a high percentage play for most people

You say that but the NHL players are the ones who are most gung ho about keeping fighting in the game and protecting that style of play

The owners I think in general wouldn't mind if it disappeared because they probably don't like the idea of their best players who they exploit for millions of dollars missing time for avoidable reasons.

I guess Trouba will learn that next year if you're going to try to give out concussions you should do it before the 3rd period of game 7 if you want to impact the series more.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

This thread is like 73% of the way to arguing for bringing back goons.

It’s the playoffs and no one’s gonna pull up on a fully legal hit like that. If you’re really that upset about it then you should be arguing for a rule change. USA Hockey seems to have figured it out.

The NFL is a physical game where the point is to literally smash through guys and you're not allowed to hit someone in the head. You can get rid of it and no-one will care that its gone. It won't change the game or make it less exciting unless excitement is literally concussing people to you

i played hockey, i got a ride to every practice and game by a guy named Coyote, who was a white dude that only listened to Rasta music and drove a 1960s jeep with no top and just accepted the weather whatever the weather was.

i also still think the rules should change to make that trouba hit illegal.
