IDK, honestly I still can't see any head impact. To me the head snaps back purely due to the force of the hit, not due to any direct contact. Will just have to agree to disagree on this one.

There is more latitude in that case, in my opinion, than the Truba hit.
Head injuries are going to occur no matter what you do. Even so, if I could, I would penalize hits to the head, intentional or no.
The NHL should do all it can to reduce head injuries. Period.

You're right.
He doesn't hit him directly in the head. The guy's head snaps back from the impact, as you note.
I love clean hits, but the truly devastating ones leave me cold these days. There are a few NHLers I would wish those on, but not many.
I like the kind of hit that's a wow, but not injurious or scary.
It's a fine line. I get it.
The CTE stuff really, really bothers me. The fact -- the fact -- that the rapacious schmuck owners and their "Commissioner" *continue to obfuscate, delay, explain away, cast doubt upon, and deny its existence and awful effects makes me f***ing sick.*
Why? Because they don't want the liability and resultant pay out, that's why.
This should tell you everything you need to know about the character of these owners and their front man.
Sleep well tonight, Gary. You pig f***.

Sources: NHL considering 84-game schedule
The NHL is considering expanding its regular-season schedule from 82 to 84 games in an effort to create more regional rivalry matchups and balance in divisional games, sources confirmed to ESPN.

I agree with Felger & hate that Ovechkin is going to catch Gretzky for the all time goals crown.
The fact that he has the possibility of achieving that in less games played than Gretzky is intriguing.
I don't understand the angst against Ovi. 1 team his whole career and has 9 Rockets.
I know the Rocket didn't exist until 1999 and I didn't do the research to see how many 99 would have won but if he passes the great one, it's well deserved.

The Kings just sent down Kupari, Fagemo, and Bjornfoot. Arvidsson was injured, and, as the article I read said, Blake is probably just banking cap space, but it is a little odd. They are going home tonight, so I guess it is normal to send down road reinforcements.
Could we interest them in a gently used Craig Smith?
Edit: Probably not a good time as I think Greer is carrying a little injury and Lauko is sick.

Terrifying but so happy she’s going to make a full recovery.

4 Ever The Greatest
How thin up front is Winnipeg right now - Blake Wheeler is out for the next month after groin surgery today so for now they've moved Karson Kuhlman up to the top line. Their top 4 RWers are Kuhlman ( 3 points ), Sam Gagner ( 8 points ), Jansen Harkins ( 4 points ) and Axel Jonsson-Fjallby ( 2 points ). Sweeney should call them and offer up Smith immediately.

Oilers trailing 3-1 so here have 2 more powerplays to tie it up.5 powerplays to 0 come on that's horseshit.
Leafs down 3, devils down 2. If these hold up and the Islanders beat Vegas tonight we can gain 2 points on all 3 today.

Leafs just went 9-0-1 run and their fans calling them out I love it
2 game losing streak. Time to panic.
Old mate Erik Haula brings the Devils back within 1 with 3:30 to go.

Despite their long injury list the Jets are 2nd in their division and 7-3 in their last 10 games. They've been pretty impressive. Quietly one of the better teams so far this season.
3-1 islanders over Vegas through 2.
Good night so far for the B’s.
