Bullshit. Who has the balls to tell me that a forearm to the head is not as bad as a shoulder to the head? Bull. Shit. Ebbet wasn't even hurt on the play. Where's Booth now? Where's Richards now? Colin Campbell........ :frustrated:

I agree. Shoulders against the head is something that the league needs to look at. So what if they aren't always intentional, if you run someone over with a car and it's not intentional, does that mean that you should still have your license? The league has to send a message that players are responsible for their own bodies.

And what angers me the most is that when i grew up as a kid watching hockey the big hits were shoulders into the chests. Knocked the wind out of the guy who got hit. I mean, for all these years that Kasparaitis got labeled as a cheap shot, dirty player, and yeah to some extent he was, but his big hits were not head shots. Not like today's. The guy hit you right in the chest. Those were real good hits. Yet now? Hit the guy's head. How is it clean? It's not clean to hit someone in the head. With a shoulder too? I mean, what bone structure is stronger? Forearm or shoulder? What equipment part is stronger? Shoulder pad or forearm pad?

Ridiculous.
