It is a perfect example of the very stuff the NHL wants to be rid of.
The fact tthat it was somehow missed by officials is atrocious, and will be a factor in a longer suspension, I think.

Should have been an interference penalty but the hit itself wasn't a headshot. Prust burried his shoulder into Stepan's shoulder. This is the kind of hit that would have make rockem sockem back in the day, keep your head up boys. If anything the NHL needs to reduce the amount of plastic armor these guys wear. If you mandate a soft shell shoulder pad and elbow pads guys wouldn't get injured as much.
