No joke this just happened:

What just happened? A guy half missing a check? A guy half missing a check right against the boards? Two guys skating away because of a little contact?
I understand fans are upset but what bothers me the most about some of these hits is the distance the hittee is from the boards simply because the hittee can be "launched" head first.
Just seems like there is a lot less chance of serious head/neck injury if the hittee is already against the boards and then hit which is what I see more of in this vid.
