And now the PM weighs in.
Bettman doesn't believe Harper will win next election anyway.
Look, it's simple. Takecareofbizniss and you're sitting pretty. Take us all for fools and you'll hear it. Jees, 72 players (what, 10% of the league) out due to concussions? Am I missing something?
I'm sure there's some self-serving calculations going on regarding comments, but I also think it's people being fed up with how dangerous the game has become.
These kinds of injuries, in large numbers, do not make for a great sport. Players are out, disabled, retired early, drawing pay while injured rather than playing the game they want to play anyway. The NHL needs to take a look at what is going on, make sensible reforms to rules, possibly upgrade,some equipment too.
ReplyDeleteKeeping the game great is the best reason for doing what it takes to reduce serious injuries on the ice.
The NHL is a different type of garage league now.
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't so sad, I'd say it's comical how they rationalize each retarded hit to the head.
