One more thing - even if the hit on Alfie was 'clean' in terms of the NHL rule (if that's what the NHL concludes), it's still dirty because the head was clearly targeted. I don't like it when Neil does it, I think head shots should be banned from the game because it doesn't bring anything exciting to it. A good clean shoulder to chest or shoulder to shoulder hit à la Volchenkov or Phaneuf, that's exciting. Head shots, not so much
Yeah they REALLY gotta cut down on the shots to the noggin. Crosby has his freakin HELMET torn off the other night when he was down on the ice and NOTHIN!!!
Have we learned NOTHING from the Lindros boys?
No kidding! What about Lafontaine, I'm sure he didn't get that many concussions by being slashed on the ass? And about Crosby, yeah, I was screaming at my TV - I can't believe Hartnell wasn't called on it.
I just don't get why on earth the league doesn't want to come down hard on those head shots. It is NOT exciting at all. That and trying to beat the icing are aspects of the game I'd like to see taken out.
I didn't see the Tucker thing - but Bell did try to take Redden's knee out. Again, he knew he wouldn't have to worry about getting his pretty face smashed by someone, he's wearing a CAGE. Little POS, hope he drops many soaps in the shower for the next couple of months
