Injury Report: 2021/22 Injury Thread Part II of ∞

This works in a vacuum. But in a real game, going really fast, it is hard to avoid. All the subjective criteria will come up constantly: What is meant by intent? What is meant by legitimate hockey move? What culpability does the offender have if the recipient moves his head into the shoulder. I remain one of those who feel that Kadri's suspension last year was due to reputation, not the precise action. Kadri was not headhunting. it was a legitimate hockey play. But he was an inch higher than he likely wanted, and the guy rotated his shoulders into the hit. To safely avoid any head shot, a player needs to avoid checking with anything other than their butt.

Sadly, today's game provides a clear example of intent to injure.

I'm surprised some guys are still alive after some of the hits they took in the 90s/00s

Remember the glazed over look on RJ Umberger after the Brian Campbell hit, or Paul Kariya after the Scott Stevens hit? Hope they're doing ok

Sakic and Bednar need to press this with the league unlike keeping mum about the hot on Bo Byram last year.

Even if Kuemper doesn't have a concussion I expect Avs to be silent until DoPS has a look at it.

Exact, don't give the DoPS a cop out.
