from TBM at NBC Sports,
Things have changed in the NHL, but not that much. Last year, Edmonton’s Raffi Torres unloaded a brutal elbow on San Jose’s Milan Michalek, knocking him out of two games.
Incredibly, Torres was not suspended.
There is a genuine fear among players that with the stakes so high, the risk of severe injury has never been greater. And the only way to curb it is to make sure that the players understand that serious offences will carry serious consequences.
The players have the guts to do what it takes in the playoffs.
Does the NHL?

While there was no malicious intent, what a brutal hit on Patrick Eaves.
Why is there no move to improve the equipment used to protect the players who are getting hit? I know Grapes thinks safety is for wusses, but maybe with the increased speed of the game it’s time for a quantum leap in equipment/protection.
