Hockey doesn't need hits like that.
Hits need to be about separating player from puck and anything more than that should be illegal.
Now go ahead and tell me I should watch figure skating instead.

No one wants to see injuries, agreed there. There are also many examples of big open ice hits that do not lead to injuries like this.
Personally I love big hits like this and I do not want to see them out of the game. These hits have been in the game a long time and are legal with current rules. I want to see guys get hit hard for not having situational awareness, that's the price you pay in hockey.
