Going by this logic, Auston Matthews has back issues so players should ease up on hitting him.
No, the exact opposite. Matthews is strong on his skates so when he gets hit and cross checked it doesn’t send him flying into the boards or the ice face first. If it did then yes you’d have to ease up.

Are you kidding?

Remember when Matthews got cross-checked and the Leafs media demanded league wide changes?


Every time something happens to a Leaf it has become a league wide problem.

He just a skates away from confrontation and hides lol.
 
Hopfully he gets a long suspension to think about that shit. He's been playing garbage all season and this play is a new all-time low even for him. I'm a Wild supporter and I really want this guy off the team badly even with all the injuries Wild are dealing with.

Glad most wild fans see it the same way. Not all fanbases suck like Oilers, who defend the dirty plays of their players at all cost.

No im not kidding and i didnt write that article. It sounds like its more in line with your opinion than mine.
 
I agree that this is terrible, but it probably has no negative effect on popularity. People love violence, and they love having villains. It's hard to admit, but it's true.
All the actual evidence goes against that. The NHL has become significantly more popular since fighting has gone down. There is zero actual violence in other sports like basketball , and almost negative violence in soccer which is by far the most popular sport in the world.
