Very good input with the youth hockey standpoint, as I played for 10 years, had to stop due to what else? Concussions. They can end peoples careers real fast.

I'll try to explain my point of view a little bit clearer (english is not my first language). I'm not defending Lapierre or any other players who hits from behind. If the same thing happens to a Habs players, i'll keep the same opinion.
I totally agree that you have to avoid the hit in the back. What I'm saying it's you shouldn't put yourself in a vulnerable position when you know you gonna get hit. Don't show your back and put your face on the glass. You have to protect yourself.

but in doing this, kaleta would not have been able to make a play. the puck was coming around the boards. had he been facing lapierre his feet would have to be on the boards and he wouldn't be able to make a play.

I understand that you're trying not to defend Lapierre but if it's all the same, you still are. Watch the video yourself. While it's no question that it was a dirty hit as you have agreed, what many people fail to mention is that he wasn't even right against the boards. Kaleta was a good 2-3 feet away from the boards when the hit took place meaning that Lapierre had to have put even more force behind his hit to put him into the glass the way he did. It's inexcusable.

How about Steve Moore?
Anybody remember that incident?
Wasn't a hit from behind along the boards, but Bertuzzi slammed him head first into the ice from behind, and what happened there? Moore's done forever. Career gone. Such a young kid, has his skill stolen from him. If these dirty hits keep going without punishment, more of that is going to happen. And I as a hockey fan don't want to see that happen to anyone at all. Whether it be a Sabres player, my favorite guy, or most hated guy. No one deserves that at all.

I didn't know that either. And I've been an Avs fan since I was like 3 years old, so the Steve Moore incident is something I won't forget.

Wasn't so much a hit from behind as it was a punch
but back to the topic. That was a very dirty hit and has no place in the game. Along with head shots
