I think it is bogus on how the NHL deals with these type of in game scenarios. The NFL has it right. Rask should have been pulled for concussion protocol immediately since he stayed down and the contact was to the head. Although I hate the fact that Rask got injured, leaving the decision up to the Bruins is incorrect. NHL needs to pull players at any occurrence where a head injury is suspected. With Rask's history of concussions this was a no brainer and the NHL/Bruins dropped the ball. No given game is more important then a players health.
To be honest, I actually thought it had more to do with his leg than anything. He was holding on to it and wincing, and seeing how his leg bent on the replay, I figured it was more that than his head.
