Tht was a dirty play. I dont think being a star player or a hitter makes a difference. Making clean checks in this league shouldnt be punished by fighting an opposing player

If Kesler makes a huge hit, chances are in today's league with today's rules, the player victim of the huge hit probably has to be off the ice for at least 15 minutes in the "quiet area" and with so many teams decreasing tolerances on concussion protocol, they probably wouldn't be back at all.
If the player being hit is hit with a big enough hit (say that 3 times fast...) to knock him out of the game for 15 minutes, then I think Kesler should answer the bell. That's just how the game is played. You potentially injure a player on the other team, then you should have to fight. That's just the honorable, sportsmanlike way to do things, IMO.
If the player being hit gets up and is able to get back in the play with no ill effects, then that player can totally challenge Kesler to a fight and Kesler can totally refuse, like "Fuck off...try to hit me if u mad, bitch!"
See the diff?
