We say, well if you take this hit out of the game you pretty much take all hitting out of the game. You (general you) disagree. Ok, so then it's asked what rules you would change to make these hits not happen but still have hitting in the game, but you don't know.
It's hard to discuss what you think the idea situation would be when you don't even know yourself.

Well, I think it's pretty dumb to assume if you take a borderline charge out of hockey you won't see guys stand up at the blueline or bang a guy in the corner or put a hip on someone in the neutral zone.
There was all kinds of hitting in that game and the only one that appears to have caused a head injury is the hit that was borderline charging.
Like, if we don't allow Dion Phaneuf to almost kill Kyle Okposo in a meaningless preseason game, then adrian aucoin won't be able to hit a guy in the corner to turn the puck over?
