You don't have to try and kill a guy (again, illegal or 100% legal) in order to separate the puck from the player. If you do, then get ready to drop your mitts.

I agree with this in certain situations, like when the game is over and the puck is being cleared with 30 seconds left and your team is down by 2. No need to throw that type of hit even if it was borderline clean.
