What's more likely to cause injury, a massive guy like Scott landing punches to your face or taking a 2 handed chop across the legs while wearing shin pads? I know which one I'd pick.

Back in minor hockey a team mate of mine was on a breakaway, and a kid gave him a 2 handed chop on the side of the shin pad. His stick broke and sliced into my friends calf and cut him pretty good. No permanent damage but he missed a lot of the season.
So really the argument of a harmless hack to the shin pad isn't the best, because you never really know what could happen.
