Exactly. That is a text book hit. Just cause Marleau got destroyed doesn't mean it was a dirty hit. Plus as someone mentioned earlier .. Sarich's hit was north - south, Torres was east - west. Big difference.

And I do remember that. Oh, when the Flames were good for a while. That 2004 run was magical and was one of the best times I ever had watching hockey. Followed up with the 06 run by the Oilers. Now they both suck.

"Torres neither leaps nor uses his elbow in delivering this hit. However, if he chooses to attempt a hit such as this, Torres must take a route that ensures he hits through the core of the body and does not make the head the principle point of contact."

That explains is perfect. And for Sarich's hit, he squared the guy up and drove through his body. Was the head hit as part of the contact, yes, but the upper torso was the target.
