    Here's the thing:

    Hockey players get hurt. It's a fast, violent, dangerous game. Always has been, and that's why it's so exciting. There are plenty of safer games out there for people who get queezy about concussions.

    Personally, I've had two major concussions with zero side effects or long term complications. One from skateboarding, one from a street fight.

    The difference between myself and a professional hockey player is that I don't get paid millions of dollars for my trouble and no one ever called the waaaambulance over my spilled brain cells.

    Hockey players aren't babies, they are gladiators. Let's hope it stays that way and that a creeping false morality doesn't corrupt the game.
