SportsNet Crisis on Ice

[Guest Shoreline]

This is an extremely in-depth discussion covering concussions (including the science of them), dirty hits, big players, children, equipment, etc.

Mathieu Schneider makes an appearance too and in fact has made me re-consider my thoughts on respect in the league.

Of course, it's ironic given the title and the beginning, and how many panelists actually agree with the beginning concept...

Even if you disagree with this, still worth watching.

It's 5 parts long.

Thanks for posting this.. I watched this last night and though this was a really good discussion.. I know myself that I've played through concussions when I played jr hockey and rugby.. It's safe to say that it's not just happening in the NHL, this problem is happening in the AHL,ECHL, Ect.

I think the problem with the NHL is players don't respect the game nor eachother

Well, first thing that needs to happen is getting rid of that 90deg corner at the end of the benches...

They need to get rid of that stupid ******* instigater rule. I think they'd be amazed at the amount of reduction in concussions that alone would bring.

I also think they need to do away with the trapezoid too. That wouldn't have as much impact as the instigater rule being taken out, but it would help bring a small reduction as well. Not to mention its just a completely retarded rule.
