It really hasn't. Probably for a few years.
Sure players went after other players who made clean hits in 2007 too. Just not every hit.
Phaneuf didn't have to fight anyone after he hit Hamel.
Edit: and again, I don't mean players didn't fight after an open ice hit 10 years ago. It happened often. It's just today 100% of open ice hits require you to fight.
