Which I don't agree with their interpretation of the rule.
NHL RULEBOOK,
a player who,
as a result of distance traveled (How far is too far?),
shall violently check an opponent in any manner (What do you determine to be violent?)
Sounds like a lot of room for interpretation to me.
Not a stride from the top of the circle to the dot.
Shoulder to body.
Guy takes it hard because he decided to pull up for a shot and accept the hit.
He could have just as easily avoided the hit and not tried to score.
