The only way to accomplish what you're suggesting is to take hits out completely. Because accidents can and will happen. It sucks but it's unavoidable

Who's to say they didn't take those words into consideration? It should surprise no one that they are trying to take headshots out of the game. Perhaps it would have been 3 or 4 games if Stajan had his head up. While I agree that this particular hit wasn't as malicious as some, I disagree that Aulie couldn't have avoided it. It is still the responsibility of the hitter in making contact somewhere other than the head.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
