Re: Carter hit, what do you think?

Personally I think it was a clean hit, Carter just came in so hard and fast and just caught Sammy akwardly.

Sad to see a guy go down, but it was a clean hit.

Most if not everyone can shoot the puck 90MPH now, a lot, especially D men get it up and over 95. Those sticks should not be aloud in all honesty. That would be step one, it should be wood and wood only but I dont see that happening.

Yep, it's like Golf and Tennis. It's all about the power game. Bigger and better. The difference is...noone has had a tibia fractured by getting in the way of a tennis or golf ball.

Well, I would say another difference is people dont jump in front of them on purpose either... nor are those 2 balls harder then a frozen puck.

Less equipment, wooden sticks, shrink the players. Only way it will happen. Or making hitting illegal.

How about try something realistic. Laugh1
