Red herring... totally. There will still be hitting, just not with the reckless abandon and headhunting that happens today. And when you screw up it will be a penalty. The players will learn and adjust. Go Habs Go! Your 2013 NHL Draft Headquarters, Now Open. http://lastwordonsports.com/ - Comment on Avalanche names Roy as new head coach
People have to realize that the rulebook has changed. What was clean ten years ago is not clean today. With all we have learned about concussions, and all the science that is out there on brain injuries, the hits that contact the head are being taking out of the game. This doesn't mean all hitting is being removed (as those who oppose the move try to argue, and is a complete red herring), just that hits need to be focused on BODY checking and not head hunting. The NFL is making similar rules, and they don't seem to be playing touch football. Yes, you can't eliminate 100% of concussions, but if you can reduce the number, why wouldn't you? Go Habs Go!
