Open-ice hitting has almost disappeared from the game. Players are just too fast and aware, and the consequences of a defenceman taking himself out of position too severe. I'm all for a big hit when the stars align and it happens. But a young defenceman better bring a lot more than that to his game if he's going to make it in the NHL.
