Secondly, this wasn't an open ice play where both players were going north-south at full speed. For all practical purposes, Seabrook was almost a a stationary target. Again read the rule as it is now. The hitter has the resposiblity to take the body first and not the head. You may not like the way the rule reads but it is the rule now. Torres skated all the way in from the circle behind the net so he had more than enough time to just lower his shoulder and take the body, but he didn't He came in high and got his head. So spare the crap about Seabrook being at fault. If you've played the game like you say you have, you know full well what can happen when you come in high on someone so I don't have to prove intent.  So therefore if Bergeron had bitten Lapierre when he put his glove by his mouth and taunted him last game then it would have been Lapierre's fault?</blockquote>
