I will agree that there were still many celebrating those hits, moreso than today. But the more we learn about the results of head injuries I would expect that many of the people celebrating those would change their stance. There will always be people to ignorant to care about the long term effects of others though.

Should also be up to the players to protect themselves. Laine made himself vulnerable and set himself up perfect for that type of contact. Don’t want to have head contact? Stop cutting into the middle with your head down…. It’s pretty simple.
