Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part II: Unfinished Business
I agree, but at the youth level that hit would of been a game misconduct. Along with head shots USA hockey has done a great job at implementing rules to get those type of plays out of the game. Now the NCAA and professional ranks are more relaxed but you can only hope they will follow suit here soon. Atleast at the youth level USA hockey has done something about it and it seems to be helping.
One thing that I can't believe is that Matt Cooke didn't get suspended for that hit on Marc Savard a couple days ago. He hit him with his shoulder but Savard was in a vulnerable position and Cooke went for his head, those type of hits should be deemed intent to injure and game misconducts along with suspensions should be handed down. But its hits like those why they won't take fighting out of the game, guys deserve to get pumbled after that. Which ticks me off that no Oiler went after boogard, I don't care how big he is stand up for your teamate....

That is just the kind of chicken $h*t hit along with the head shots that need to be addressed at all levels of hockey. It is a lack of respect and should not be tolerated. Jones didn't have a chance, Boogard can't keep up and he cheap shots the kid...
