As a forechecker Nystrom should be trying to retrieve the puck if it is loose, or separate the man (Letang) from the puck. He did neither, he avoided going after the puck instead trying to level a player who no longer had pocession of the puck. If Letang has the puck on his stick then I have no issue with the hit.

No, I thought he looked solid in his short time before his injury. It's more a matter of need though. Our blue-line gets a lot less mobile without Letang, and Despres looked great in that regard when he was up. I'm not sure if he's up to speed yet from his injury however..

However, the standard has been set - this is not legal anymore.
We can argue whether the new standard is right or not, or whether it helps or hurts the game, but there shouldnt be a debate whether or not that was legal according to the new NHL standards. I hesitate to say rules - because really lord knows with the NHL - however Shanny's videos are (should) be setting a baseline in this regard.
Note: I don't think the NHL knows how to be consistent - which is a problem in it's own right.
