I don't think contact with the head was "avoidable", though, and that's part of that rule. That is, I really don't see how Trouba could hit him
without contact to the head. And that's
Dal Colle's fault, because he's put his head down.
Basically, I don't want it to be the rule in hockey that a guy can skate around with his head down and thereby make it illegal to hit him straight on.

See, I understand that there's room for a difference of opinion on the hit itself, but this is just a bad, uninformed take. Every hit ever where two players are going in opposite directions will result in the hitter leaving the ice post-contact. That's just physics. He absolutely didn't jump into that hit.
