The NHL should now start going after individuals who land head shots on playerss who have previously suffered concussions. If a player has even a questionable hit against a player who has already missed games due to a concussion he should be suspended for the remainder of the season. And if he does it again, he's out of the league. Two strikes and you're out. I think this will finally get people's attention. The NHL can't afford to have marginal players putting star players out for significant periods of time, particularly with concussions.
Letang Hit by Nystrom
Last night the Stars' Eric Nystrom put Kris Letang out of the game in a situation where he should have been playing the puck and not going for the hit. He made no move whatsoever for the puck even though it was below the Penguins' goal line. His intention was to hit Letang, even though (or particularly because) he was in a vulnerable position.
