IMO, these are 4 very different situations and shouldn't all be lumped together under one banner. The Weight and Orr hits were both cases of a forward failing to protect himself while concentrating only on the puck. I think the Weight hit was clean, and Orr's was definitely a cheapshot even if Cullen should have known better. The Armstrong hit was well after the pass and clearly a cheapshot. Orpik should've pulled up but it was a classic case of having to make a split-second decision whether to hit a guy who's in motion toward the boards.

So IMO, you've got two cheapshots, a solid hit and a questionable decision. I can understand the frustration -- we Bruins fans basically lost a season when Bergeron got hit from behind -- but players simply have to protect themselves at the NHL level. You don't skate around with your head down, especially not when you're going parallel to the blueline or perpendicular to the boards.

"You don't skate around with your head down, especially not when you're going parallel to the blueline or perpendicular to the boards."

Exactly. Cullen was going through the "trolley tracks" with his head down then BOOOM! That hit was questionable? I liked it. You don't like it because his arms were up?
