I acknowledge my views on this are more extreme than most, but the hit on Petterson is precisely the type of thing that should be eliminated because most of it had nothing to do with getting the puck.
But I'm very aware I'm on an extreme side of the relative positions on this overall issue, and don't expect a lot of others to share that view....yet
