Not arguing that but it's nowhere near what it used to be when guys like Domi (knocking out Niedermayer out cold), C. Lemieux (rubbing out Draper), Stevens, etc were attempting to end careers. If that Crosby incident which was by chance and not premeditated is making news can you imagine what that infamous Stevens cheap shot that ended Lindros's career would garner? I have no issue with teams hitting star players more in the playoffs and taking their space away and I really didn't see anything that bad on Karlsson tonight. They went on about an elbow but it was the type of weak elbow that happens in every game.
We all know NHL officiating is the worst in professional sports but it's largely a product of the owners that have allowed this to happen and they don't seem to care.
