Headshots going uncalled like that are exactly why fighting is still relevant in hockey. Otherwise it's just ppl getting run and slew footed all over the place.
Honestly, the frequency level of fighting in the NHL today is about as balanced as it can be asked for.
Refs need to be better ,head injuries should fall under Toronto jurisdiction in game like a missed goal( the blow the horn and stop play). Even then, that should be absolutely a live wire direct feed call from NHLHQ.
That's the only way to keep it accountable while eliminating fighting. Otherwise this is it.
And again, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Khaira didn't have to headshot Kylington, even at speed the arm didn't have to go up. That was dirty AF. Khaira answered the bell and took his cumupance. That shot by Ritchie isn't one you see in 100 fights in the NHL, thats was an anomaly .
Godspeed and heal up Khaira.
