Wow, that's shocking to hear.
Shows you how much the NHLs policies seem to be flouted and teated lightly unless you make a huge scandal.
Concussion Protocals: "We wont punish teams or players that willfully and knowingly play while under the effects of conussionsympts when evidence is found that they did so. But we care about our players.
Substance Abuse: As long as its not affecting the players play in the NHL or their relations to their team then we are fine with it being hush-hush. Even though drug and alcohol addiction has always been rampant in the sport and there are tons of stories of how its ruined players careers not to mention their lives and their families lives as well.
Typical business. We will scream when it makes us look good in the media, but otherwise we dont really care.
