Cannot hit or interfere with a player who does not possess the puck. Cannot hit another player in the head with intent to injure- by launching himself he was intent on injuring. I think he would have gotten the same punishment even if the injury was less severe as the leauge is trying to eliminate hits like that from the game.
I gotta ask, have you watched any of the games and if so, does it make you appreciate hockey more or less so than other sports you are a fan of?
