I must have missed where he was getting cross checked in the head or neck.

Vegas could survive losing Stone much better than the Oilers could survive losing one of their top guys.

Those cross checks were love taps. If you’re going to stand in front of the net you’re going to get pushed around. If that is going to hurt you then you shouldn’t be playing. You can watch any game and see any battle in front having the same thing going on. Mcdavid gets those gross checks too.
If mark stone can’t handle the bumps, hits and the battles in front of the net, he shouldn’t be playing. It’s not on the Oilers to soften their play against him. If he gets hurt again and needs surgery it’s on whoever gave him the ok.
