I agree 100%. The hitter shouldn't be looking to make cheap shots and be head hunting out there. However if the receiver of this kind of hit knows a hit is incoming, like Lucic the other night, you need to protect yourself. Players need to avoid putting themselves in bad positions like that. I can't think of a worse play Demelo could have made there.
