You can hit a person cleanly with the intent to injure, which is what I see when I watch the replay.

You aren't trying to kiss them, you're trying to hit them, of course you're trying to hurt them, every person I hit throughout my career I tried to hurt, don't take it easy on them, because they sure as hell aren't going to take it easy on you, that's what I was always told, hit them so they feel it, otherwise it's kind of pointless to have contact if you aren't going to hit them hard.

We probably aren't going to agree on this, but he could have cleaned his clock without going for the injury.

Oh we aren't going to agree on this, I can guarantee that. Going for the injury? Leopold is to blame for his injury, how about putting some responsibility on the player skating down the ice in a game that has contact with his head down checking to see if his laces are tied up, I mean jesus, can't blame Sutton for doing his job..

I understand that he's under no obligation to not hurt him, but it's still a dick thing to do in my book.

As you said, you've never played hockey, and calling a perfectly clean hit 'a dick thing to do', shows that, had you played before, or knew more about the game, you'd see it otherwise, he did his job, head down, hammer him into the ground.

As for not coming up, look at the clip at about the 1:08 mark, there is a spot there where Sutton is standing up; his skates are a foot off the ice and Leopold is still in mid-air.

Yes after the time of impact he was in the air, after he had hit him, ever hit someone fro mthe angle he did and try to stay completely on the ice? It isn't easy, but he wasn't up before or during the hit, only after which is not a penalty, sorry.
