Well you're not supposed to hit the head anyways. What I'm talking about is if they hit players in the head, while having their head down, if they make a shoulder to shoulder hit or a hip check that's something else. But hitting the head while they have their heads down is dangerous. I don't think that many players will play with their heads down no matter what, because it's harder to read the game that way. All hits that risk causing concussions must be punished hard. I don't want to see any more players retiring due to that, or only playing at 70% of their ability. Another thing is that hockey must go hand in hand with the law.Bates said:You never see them skate with their head down because they will be hit for doing it. I can guarantee you that if you outlaw hitting player with head down there will be players who barely look up and coaches teaching kids to play that way to draw penalties.

Stebro said:If someone gets a concussion it's went over the line, and I don't think it's ok to constantly blame the player with his head down, he didn't get hit because he had his head down, he got hit because the player who was hitting didn't care about it.
Bates said:So Stebro would you be OK with a player that always skates with his head down never being allowed to be hit? How does that make sense in a contact sport?
Stebro said:No, but it's not like all players skate with their heads down all the time, but it can happend for a second, and it's irresponsible to hit hard then, it will only lead to more concussions. And I doubt that very many players would use this as a strategy. But the feeling I get now is that all the players that hit constantly gets away while saying "well he kept his head down, it's his fault". Yes it's a contact sport, but it's also human beings that are being hit, I don't wanna see players have to retire early due to concussion. The players that hit needs to take more responsibility too. If someone gets a concussion it's went over the line, and I don't think it's ok to constantly blame the player with his head down, he didn't get hit because he had his head down, he got hit because the player who was hitting didn't care about it. And that could be seen as in intent to hurt, which is why these people should get suspended more often.
Btw, I've never seen any player that constantly skates with his head down.
Interesting ppv, eh? Can i watch it anytime or just the actual time of the game?...It may not even be possible...LittleHockeyFan said:I've PVRed all the Canadian games, but I have no idea how to share those.
TSN does payperview streaming, but I don't know if that's region-specific or not. (tsn.ca)
