flyercanuck Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 This whole concussion syndrome is getting way out of hand. It's like it's mandatory to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leach27 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I don't remember this many concussions in the nhl ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Leach, I think a lot of it is due to the increased safety protocols. I'm sure that the speed and violence of player impacts are contributing, but increased awareness and sensitivity to the potential effects are probably at least equally "to blame" for the increasing number of players out with concussions. Where before guys would "get their bell rung" and keep playing, they're now sitting 3, 4 games just as precautions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
