Phil illustrated an important part of the problem, players respecting others health. There is more respect in the nfl than there is in the nhl these days with regards to hits--there has to be or teams would have to replace their running backs and receivers every year.

I agree that respect is lacking badly. There are guys like Sean Avery that everyone knows is dirty and yet he still hangs around. There are also guys who go out of their way to try to hurt the stars from the other team. I remember a few years back watching Darian Hatcher elbow Jeremy Roenick into the glass and break his jaw. And how many cheap shots has Chris Pronger taken on guys? They should make the rule simple. If you intentionally hurt someone you are out of the game as long as they are. If that injury ends their career, your's is done too.
