You keep making smartass condescending responses but you're not really answering the question. And this was a legal hit.
Of course there's players who throw hits that don't make head contact. That doesn't mean all those hits that don't involve head contact are the result of the hitter making some decision not to hit a player in the head.
For the record I think Trouba throws a lot of dirty elbows. I'm no fan of his or the Rangers.
Well when you make smartass responses don't be surprised when you get it in return. I replied to yours. And I answered the question.
I'm not sure what you argue, that players don't make a decision to not hit the head, so therefore they don't hit the head and because of that there is plenty of hits that don't make head contact?
Anyway, yes a lot of hits hit good and don't use or need overly excessive force to make a hit that is good enough to do its purpose.
I don't have any ill will against Trouba either. If he as known for being a predatory dirty elbow hitter also decide to make a dirty hit, maybe not the best choice of him. But yeah, to some people the hitter is the victim...
I just wish he hit it clean. Would have been a great hit.
