College of Sports Media Game of the Night:

From 1981 to 1993 the Toronto Maple Leafs and Chicago Blackhawks were in the Norris Division and one-time bitter rivals. Tonight in the Windy City the Leafs and ‘Hawks renew the rivalry. Toronto is coming off a tough home loss to the Minnesota Wild. Before that the Leafs had collected points in seven straight including a Saturday night win over the Detroit Red Wings. Much can be attributed to the play of first-time Leafs Phil Kessel and Jonas Gustavsson. Although Kessel was shut out in his first game, he’s scored two goals and added two assists over the last three games. Over nines games, Gustavsson has a 2.77 GAA and a .912 save percentage. More importantly he’s earned the confidence of the players in front of him, making many of the tough stops. Chicago’s won two straight at home and looks to make it three tonight. The Blackhawks have benefited from the return of their captain Jonathan Toews. Toews missed two weeks with a concussion and since his return he’s registered points in both games. Chicago is sitting a top the Central Division in the West. They’re one point ahead of the Red Wings.

It may not have been riveting, tabloidesque or even exciting. However McCown’s segment tonight with the concussion doctor’s was really good. They answered a ton of questions about how they happen, how to prevent them and how to treat them. One of the doctors, Dr. Charles “Husky” Tator is a renowned expert on the subject and he Dr. Paul Echlin did a phenomenal job breaking down this troubling condition that seems to afflict more and more hockey players each and every season. There is a big summit coming up in London Ontario this week. If you are a hockey fan I highly suggest listening to the clip.
