Never mind heads getting clipped with the odd elbow or giant open ice hits and worrying about concussions....that x-check in the back into the boards could literally kill someone, and more easily paralyze them. Players just have to stop with it.
The elbow from Doughty was a dandy though, i have to say. Shouuld have been a minor if it was seen but my guess is the officials didn't catch it. The Lindholm one though the guy is clearly staring right at it and doesn't deem it worthy of an infraction. He is dead wrong in that case.
