While hockey should stay a contact sport, concussions should be avoided and the nhl should engage much more in this. What about giving the teams a 2 minus point penalty to start the season for every concussion causing to an opponent in a preseason game?

[tas]

for every concussion inflicted on an opponent during the preseason, the team will have to publicly execute one player of their choosing. 

[IBatch]

I don’t like that enforcers turned into goons - there is still a place in the game for them.   Not sure they will ever be back, hockey has changed, and guys no longer know that they can fight their way into the show and then learn to play the game, it’s literally being ruled out of the junior levels (too much fighting).  Concussion suits did that.

 

  SO IF the DoPs is to successfully police the game with the rule book - maybe it’s time they took a more radical approach.   That is for certain plays like the one on BB, the guy that commits the crime gets automatically suspended for the length of time his victim is injured for.  Only do this for certain plays.   Ugh.  Ok that wouldn’t work either as it would further pansificate the sport.   Just bring back the enforcer.  There are still a few around start with those and play him as the 13th forward and on the fourth line.  Ferland is the closest thing to it we have now and it’s better then nothing - I just hope he knows what side his bread is buttered on and won’t look away when things like this happen.  I suppose we will find out in the rematch ...but he can’t do it all either - Horvat, JV, Beagle, Miller, Benn and the entire team needs to buy in.

Tas doesn't mess around.

Don’t waive LE then. Ya know, just in case ...

[Nucker 67]

I still can't believe Green called that a hockey play. Maybe he doesn't want to come across as a whiner to the NHL, but at least back your star players

 

How will the Canucks respond?

With no pushback, it's like the players are OK with getting run over.

Gives getting cut from the team a whole new meaning

[PhillipBlunt]

Make them pay dearly for their insolence.

[-Vintage Canuck-]

Now we await to hear whether Chris Tierney will be playing tonight...

with this kind of meek, turn the other cheek philosophy they will never win a damn thing (2011 should be enough of a reminder of this), it’s stupid. I want to see blood after a bs garbage hit like that, there is no excuse for it, that hit should not have happened. I guarantee there’s be a suspension if it was Matthews or Bergeron who were hit like that and injured. 

[Hairy Kneel]

Green and his pc responses..

[VanIsleNuckFan]

So has Green kept Ferland out of the lineup tonight or is he gunna show the boys how we are supposed to act. Time to set the tone when the points don't count!

[Chickenspear]

Hey, this one's actually on tv! Get ready for Cheech's Soapbox Special. Bet he's already made the call to the DoPS. Hope Ferland is in the lineup tonight.

Fight Tierney 3 times, and EP scores 4 times.

I'm actually sick to my stomach with Greens attitude towards our players getting attacked.  The day Hughes got the high stick....the following period

the same guy that knocked his teeth out gave him a two handed slash to the back of the leg and no one did anything.

We will never get anywhere without any push back.  Listen to your fans Travis...protect your stars.

[Sikhguy23]

Jake really needs to show up today. Make some big hits, engage in some scrums, show the team you Care. I’m not expecting him to be a top 6 player anymore, but if he gets his head straight he can be a damn good third liner. Dude needs to show some emotion when he’s out there, ala Sam Bennett

goons never actually prevented much and during the height of the enforcer era, hockey was also probably at it's dirtiest.
