Dangerous
Last night as I watching the Sharks & Kings do battle there was one hit during the course of this game that made me cringe. Jared Stoll of the Kings hit Ian White from behnd causing his head to hit the glass where the pane seperates to the two pieces of glass causing Ian White to crumple to the ground. Now I don't know about any of you; but I'am an avid fan of the game of hockey, and not just because I played the game as long as I did, and I like most fans enjoy seeing a good clean hit on an opponent; but these hits from behind targeting a players head needs to stop. Now on this particular play none of the officials saw this hit nor did any of them penalize Stoll for the hit that has caused this injury to Ian White to whom now will probably miss substantial playing time because of this hit. During my 35 year career I played the game hard, and I did my best to keep my hits clean; but I never went out of my way to target another players head nor did I intentionally hit a player from behind with such force that I would dilibertly hurt someone; but in today's game time & time again there are more and more of these types of hits and until the NHL takes measures to penalize these players with such force that they will get the message these types of hits will continue so I'am an avid believer in penalizing these guys with suspensions that will deter these types of hits that have caused several big name players to miss time dues to concussions, and myself having suffered a few concussions myself I can tell you that the lingering affects from a concussion can last a very long time so I say this to the NHL the time is now to act there should not be any delay and not just for the players safety; but for the integrity of the game as well.
