The one that bothers me the most is Steve Moore. That whole incident could have so easily been avoided if the Dan Marouelli had been bothered to rule the hit against Naslund a bad hit, or if the league had bothered to investigate it better and sanctioned Moore for it. Their lack of action against Moore for what was dubbed at the time "headhunting" is what got so many Canucks players so mad, resulting in a proverbial bounty being put out against Moore. Less than a month after the upheld bad call, Moore was targeted by Bertuzzi, who drove him face-first into the ice, fracturing 3 cervical vertebrae. Dude literally broke Moore's neck because Moore caused Naslund to chip a bone in his elbow.

thats how concussions work. One concussion often leads to another, to another, the damage is done and then one day even a small impact is all that is needed.

I´m glad that today the league gives players time to heal, but there is no real healing from a concussion

Hockey is the one sport where i absolutely would get the most protection i can. I would never play without a cage protection helmet. Or without neck-cut-protection of any kind. I seriously do not care about gear when I'm freestyle skating, because the worst that'll usually happen is some bone breaking and or bruises, unless you're very uncareful. But of course even when just regular skating you can kill yourself in some ways. But hockey? I take all precautions there because you can easily get injured by others.
