The NHL Doesn’t Get It

from Larry Felser of the Buffalo News,
The NHL’s problem is that it can’t - or won’t - shake its “duh!” culture. While pro football goes to extremes to protect its stars, the NHL goes to extremes to coddle its cement heads. Neil went unpunished after the Drury late hit because the NHL doesn’t have a rule against late hits. In the era before helmets were mandatory, not so long ago, the players policed themselves because they respected one another and seldom would do anything that might threaten a career. Now hockey remains in an era where head-hunting is encouraged.
