[sarcasm] That guy defending fighting in hockey near the end of the Richards show was an articulate and intelligent representative of the sport. I’m sure no one listening came away with a re-enforced image of hockey being a sport run by morons for morons. [/sarcasm]
To quote Gary Bettman:
“Player safety is of paramount importance, we were the first sports league to have a working concussion study group with players trainers, we were the first sports league to do baseline testing, the first sports league to have protocols for diagnosis and return to play decisions and we were the first sports league to have a department of player safety…”
..and despite all of that, he overseas a league that not only allows the on-ice assault of one player by another but actively promotes that culture of violence, even though the whole point of the fight is to injure and concuss the other player…can’t wait for the $Billion lawsuit to bury the NHL…
