Well....I basically predicted this would happen....in case anyone wants to look back in this thread . Anyways...not much more to add to this sad turn of events other than to lay some blame on the club . He should have been kept out longer....
An enforcer would have made no difference...guys like LK play on the edge and will continue . Was still sad though watching Stepan and Lindberg do nothing and Klein had to come from 50 feet away with a broken thumb .
The NHL IMO should seriously look into making the ice surface international size . The guys are too fast and too big and speed of play is unreal .
The equipment has to change . You won't be a vegetable with a busted shoulder....or a broken elbow . It is time to fix that area . The padding should be something like it was back in the 70's . Does somebody have to actually die before this happens ????
Lastly...this kind of hit was even worse than Simmonds . It was a chicken wing....intentional . The NHL should have gave him at least 10 games....it is message sending time .
I think McDonagh should take the rest of the season off even if it is not deemed a concussion....his life and family is a whole lot more important than suffering the rest of his life with problems associated with these type of injuries of the brain .
What did you want Stepan or Lindberg to do? Komarov would ragdoll both of them. They are not in your face types. Stepan is like Sedin twins.
