Brent Sutter on the Brandon Sutter hit.

Here is what New Jersey Devils coach and former NHL player Brent Sutter had to say about Doug Weight's legal hit on Carolina Hurricanes Brandon Sutter (his son). Interesting, you have to wonder if anything will come out of this next time the two teams play?

Sutter said that when he played, such a hit would lead to repercussions. "I'm not talking about suspensions or penalties, either," Brent Sutter said. "If a player got hit in the head, whether it was clean or dirty, you knew what was going to happen. It was going to be a long night for the guy who did the hitting. And the next time, it would be a long night.

"People may say I'm old-school," Brent Sutter said. "The game today is better in a lot of areas. But in some areas, it's not and it's troublesome. There is a lack of respect for opponents' players. It's the way the game is played today, and there are significant injuries. It is what it is."

Watch this hit by Dough Weight on Brandon Sutter. First off this is a legal hit. In football we called it being ear holed. Ouch, it is one of the patented hits you used to see by Kevin Stevens.
