I thought the hit on Spezza in overtime last night was pretty bad. It's just that Spezza didn't get hurt.
Players are ignoring the puck and hitting the player reaching for the puck. The puck is right there coming towards Adams. Why doesn't he get to the puck first then use his body to shield off Spezza instead? A turnover like that could lead to a goal.. the hit leads to nothing since he purposely allows the puck to leave the offensive zone.
