Whitecloud hit on Knies | Knies did not return to the game.

[Dreakmur]

It's not confusing at all, he was hit in the head with an elbow, but not the same head that was hit the other night when a game misconduct was called, this time it was a clean hit to the head.

Not the least bit confusing

Thank you for proving my point. Only confusing for those who don't know the rules.

NHL will be a no contact sport in the future once the research comes out they are done

Some jobs have risk. As long as the risks are know, the employees can make their choices.

DoPS is so inconsistent... it's crazy that Whitecloud gets a pat on the back for leaving the ice and making contact with the head because he comes in at a direct angle and gets a big chunk of the body too.

Then there's Neal Pionk getting fined for "clipping" Jesper Boqvist in a perfectly executed hip check.

You wager? Everyone and their mother knows exactly how damaging head trauma is. Meanwhile, we have UFC, which for all intents and purposes is a modern day gladiator event growing perhaps more than any other sports league right now.

People aren't unaware of the effects of head trauma. They ignore it, or view it as an acceptable tradeoff for the money.

But but... Dana White doesn't pay his fighters!

That’s assuming NHL players would like IHHF rules. I think if you ask them, they’d prefer NHL rules.

I think you'd get a pretty diverse range of answers. Both from how some guys play the game + also age
