As part of taking any head hits seriously, we probably have to accept that intent isn't the only determinant.
I think the Hathaway hit, in real time, looked really bad.
I would rather the NHL swing more to the side of penalizing head shots severely, even if it means some of that punishment is more severe than it should have been.
