Doug Weight welcomes Brandon Sutter to the NHL with a hit he'll probably forget.
There's an interesting debate in hockey circles over whether hits like these should be made illegal. No sense into us going into it when so many already have. It's just hard to see how to make head shots that aren't intentionally injurious such as this one illegal. Each hit is special in its own way and should be judged accordingly. Chimp and I are with Puck Daddy on this one.

At the risk of actually making a serious comment for once, and potentially coming off as an insensitive prick, Brandon Sutter should've protected himself better.
If you push the puck through the neutral zone with your head down, you're going to get rocked. Anyone who's ever played hockey knows that and probably learned it the hard way (like me).
Basically, the injury was avoidable if Sutter had been paying better attention. Still, it's never cool to see someone get knocked out cold like that. Kind of scary.
