Northern Rancher said:So you've never played or watched a game live. I've coached and played for 40 plus years-don't think I never worried about my players getting hurt. Try and grasp the concept of a big man skating close to 30 mph and another huge man pivoting to stop him-now look up momentum in a dictionary-now try and grasp that you don't have time to make a conscious decision to hurt somebody. The speed, size and equipment of pro football and hockey players has surpassed the human bodies ability to absorb some of the hits that result. The hit that put Crosby out was dirty-the Chara hit was an action/reaction that happened on in an unfortunate area of the ice is all. The most cowardly play in pro sports is throwing at a batter or running down a catcher but nobody is beating their breast about that.
