Last night's intense playoff game between the Edmonton Oilers and LA Kings featured a dirty collision that has fans and analysts calling for NHL Player Safety to take a closer look. During the game, Kings defenseman Sean Durzi delivered a vicious hit on Oilers forward Warren Foegele, similar to the one made by Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar just two nights earlier, resulting in a one-game suspension.

Despite Durzi being penalized on the play, many believe the league needs to review the hit and take appropriate action to protect the safety of its players. With hockey being such a physical sport, it's crucial for players to be held accountable for dangerous hits like this.

It's imperative for the NHL to prioritize player safety and take a firm stance against reckless and unnecessary hits on the ice. The league must ensure that its players can compete at the highest level without fear of unnecessary and harmful collisions.
