I think it's about respect and the lack of respect in the league for each other is it growing out of proportion. Concussions are happening all over the league and a lot of them are preventable. Just my $0.02 even though I'm sure it's going to be an unpopular opinion
Again, do you really think he was in a vulnerable position 1 second before he made the pass? It shouldn't be the hitters job to anticipate if the opponent is going to turn his body the same second he's about to make contact. This game happens very fast and I don't think he could of backed out even if he wanted to after committing to hitting the puck carrier.
