2008 NHL Season Underway

The future safety of NHL players looks grim.
The NHL levied a 20 game suspension to a player this week, for a hit on the head of another player.
Good on the NHL.
Hockey, even at the NHL level, is not a game to be played by thugs and violent offenders. It is not part of the game to mame a player, in order to get him off the ice. It is not part of the game to hurt the opponent.
The suspension should be the first of this season; if this happens again, levy a greater suspension, NHL, until players learn that shots to the head and attempting to mame, will not be tolerated.
You have plenty of support for this. Just do it.
