I read this somewhere else over the weekend.
Hockey player get a concussion he's out for months or a career (Crosby?)
Football player gets a concussion they play next week!
Matter of toughness?
Stop worrying about your brain and play some hockey.
SMART HOCKEY! that is. Not all this, not knowing how to bear responsibility when one has the puck and hits that are meant to KILL!
Contact sport = concussions and injuries
Figure skating = Less concussion and zero injuries

I thought you said Crosby was good to go? Remember he was 90%, But now he's a write off?
Cock, You were absolutely right.

Two NFL players admitting
#1 NHL has harder hits
#2 NFL has more PADDING
People can skate faster then running...... I REALLY hope I don't have to explain physics to you........ or that there are different levels of concussions.... I'm sure either of these facts have nothing to do with the career ending injuries in the NHL.
This dumb mentality is why Bob Probert died at 45. Fucking ROENICK has come out and said there needs to be change. FUCKING ROENICK.

I'd call you a idiot, but I fear it would be insulting idiots everywhere. Concussion = Injury HERPDERP
injuries happen all the time in every sport, concussions should be avoided at all costs PEROID. They have been taken WAY too lightly in the past.
I'm looking to watch fucking hockey, you know good stick handling, scoring GOOD CLEAN hits. Not to see how many careers can be ended every year. If i want blood sports I'll watch some MMA.
Copy paste this for a figure skating injury-->

Cock just so you know.
Crosby is a great player, when he's playing lol.
I don't really like Crosby but you can't deny the mans skill.
I'm not sure is heavier hits and more padding are the reason for all these injuries.
Well speed is an obvious factor, but I think it comes down to people not realizing when to take a hit and when to give a hit.
80% of all these concussions come from when the puck handler turn his face to the boards and is about 2 feet from them.
That right there is a recipe for disaster.
I don't know if you've played hockey cock but the first thing they teach you about hitting is when your 2 feet from the boards with the puck. GET UP AGAINST THE BOARDS ASAP. Cause if someone were to hit you, you are in the worst possible position to get an injury.
I think the person hitting should also recognize the vulerable position that the puck handler is in and find someone of pinning that person up, rather than hit them from that danger zone.
This is where the problem lies is that, it is not the hitters responsibility to make sure the puck handler is in the right hitting area, the puck handler has to.
Also doesn't help that the equipment is solid plastic. You don't solid plastic if your going to fall on ice, the real reason for padding. Leather padding did it before and I'm sure it still can.
As for my stupidity, I just seperated the two for analysis purposes. I had also been drinking all night.

Why is the guy getting hit have his back to the player?
I'm questioning why a hockey play had his back to the player.
