Kudos to the Preds. Something this cheesy probably wouldn't fly in a Canadian market except Calgary (red) and TO (blue and white) but is great for promoting Team Mean Mr Mustard.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
"The rate of concussions suffered by National Hockey League players did not go down after the league introduced a rule against hits to the head, researchers have found.
Cusimano fears that inaction is harming the 'great sport.'
He suggested changes such as"
"A ban on fighting."
DA FOCK?!!!
*punches Cusimano in the head*
"Harsher penalties for those teams and players who inflict concussions."
Ummm how about a little... consistency?
"Altering equipment."
The Great Strangelove has been agreeing with Donald S, Cherry on cushioning shoulder/elbow pads for decades.
Get rid of the body armour weapons that are used for elbow and shoulder pads and replace them with something protective and more akin to the pads my wife uses periodically.
Enforce the existing rules and take injury out of the equation why assessing supplementary discipline.

Seeing as concussions are the result of the secondary impact I don't see how a little bit of cushioning changes things. It's not the surface so much as the laws of physics. Concussions were just as plentiful in the past, they just weren't as recognized and often misdiagnosed. There has probably been an increase in their frequency as fitness and training has ramped up resulting in faster and stronger players. I suppose altering the equipment to provide less protection to the hitter might make the players themselves more accountable in this area.
So if they are proposing rule changes, maybe starting with altering the rules of physics would be the place to look......

I thought the goal was to get something less likely to draw blood?

Ugh... it looks like their ice surface has jaundice.
Every time I look out my window, same three dogs looking back at me.
