The “keep your head up” argument is past it’s best before date.
Does anyone enjoy seeing stuff like this still? Really? Kid lying face down on the ice out cold?

That ones tough. Both players are coming with speed and the offensive player does have the puck coming into the middle of the zone.
It’s not a dirty hit but more just a problem of how big, strong, and fast players are today even at the NCAA level.
I’m honestly not sure how you ban that hit without banning hitting all together...I’m not sure you can say it’s illegal just because the hit is “harder” than it needed to be, because at that point how do you draw that line.
