It has nothing to do with head trauma. The head contact was incidental, and **** happens. McCabe was going in for an open ice hit and Laine lifted his head at the last second and got the full brunt of it.
I don't see how you're going to remove hits like this from the game without removing hitting altogether. It's not like headbutting is a chronic problem in this league.
In another thread there were two other examples of McCabe leading with his own head.
Maybe it's not an epidemic league-wide, but it looks like it might be with this knucklehead.
Laine posted a photo on Instagram from the zoo - well enough to go hang out with the tiger, but needs to wear sunglasses? https://www.instagram.com/p/BPDwZxfDe1H/
Uh, oh.
Winnipeggers don't like it when star athletes spend too much time at the zoo.
