He is legitimately the team's head physician, you didn't know?

This can exist while also harshly punishing actual dirty hits (of which I agree need to be done so more often and more harshly).

As I’ve stated before anything that is more than requires to separate player from puck should be illegal
Saying it hurts and is part of the game minimizes what was likely a concussion
Doesn’t need to be part of the game

This is why it was the perfect call to not dress Chucky tonight.
If I'm Peters I'm playing guys like Quine and Czarnik a ton in the 3rd. I wouldn't mind seeing the top line not get a shift.

Looked pretty clean.
The issue is retribution in a nothing game. Doughty being a bitch doesn't help.
Of course you get why he hit him like that, but he didn't have to lay the boom on a player in a vulnerable position.

Bennett might be getting over a concussion already if that was enough to do damage

Hit was clean. Don't know why all the hate for Doughty. He didn't do anything.
In the same way Bennett looked to blow up Doughty, MacDermid blew up Bennett.
If we're gonna dish it, then we gotta be able to take it as well. Just hope Bennett isn't seriously injured.

If there’s an unwritten rule for that, then there’s probably an unwritten rule for not destroying players with 10 seconds left in an 8-5 game, which Bennett did to Simek earlier this season.
It wasn’t a blind side hit, it was right into Bennett’s chest. I hope he’s okay and it sucks to see that but that was a clean hit.

I'm probably in the minority here but knowing what we know about concussions I don't believe there is a place for that play in hockey (or pro sports) anymore. Maybe the NHL needs a "defenseless player" rule like the NFL? That wasn't a hit to separate a guy from a puck - that was a hit after the puck was gone that has very little impact on the actual game other than a little intimidation and potential long term brain damage.

The superior LA feed does show contact to the head, whereas the SN feed looks less incriminating. Either way, seems a little unnecessary in a game like this.

Winded?! He was massively concussed. Needed help getting off the ice because he was completely out of it.

It was pay back for Sammy hitting Doughty, who tried to smash a rookie in a meaningless game. Drew should fight his own battles.

I think you missed the play that started it all. Doughty almost destroying Valimaki. Nothing happening until that unnecessary hit.
Hope Doughty gets rocked by someone. What a biotch the guy is.
