You're douchebagging them for trying to keep players safer?

Good plan.

I like when you troll. It has entertainment value... watching you flail around like a fish out of water.

How do you keep it safe????? Stop tackling ...checking? My word you are a meatball!!!! I post something and you can't wait to be the big bad Darko.

Better equipment, better regulation, better medical facilities, better recognition of injuries... that's just a start.
I'm not a doctor. I'm not a lawyer or a union rep. So I really don't know for sure.

But I do that that dealing with brain injuries and trying to prevent them doesn't make them douchebags.

Putz.

Naive man

The NFL ans NHL have been making $$$$$$$$$ and have never given a shit about the players (what makes you think they will now!) Dumbass cracker ...very witty

How do they plan on doing this? Basketball is a contact sport...football and hockey are collision sports. Concussion happen because of collision. Take away the collisons you take away the sport!

It's easier in the NHL. It can policed better by suspending those who choose to leave the ground to deliver a hit. And they can just as easily do away with blind side nuetral zone hits if they choose. [Complete morons] will complain the game will become more European in style, but let's face it, the Hawks success this year has been helped by the enforcement of the clutching and grabbing that had become excessive.The hit on Hossa last night should have drawn more than a 1 game suspenion.

Bill Laimbeer Combat Basketball

Tomorrow, Walt is going to douchebag the AMA for not eradicating cancer.


Always nice to see when Walt Willliams bigfan trolls us.

Dude, pick a lane already will you?
Either they don't give a shit about the players, as you posted last, and won't do anything, or they DO care about the players, and change the game to the point where your Bill Laimbeer Combat Basketball is forever changed, as your origninally posted.

So which is it Flippy McFlipperton?

Francis doesn't your garage band need to practice???

Not even close.

WWN is miles ahead of Biggie when talking sports.

I disagree. Walt has managed to contradict himself in this thread. Bigfan doesn't really do that.

You like Farve fan are right....cause you guys could never be wrong to WWN...heavens forbid

This wasn't about me being right or wrong.
It was about you contradicting yourself. Which you can't deny you did.

Try again, Walt.

Lay the contradictions out there

How is that a contradiction? Darkside let's have a spelliung bee

I don't know why people would rather watch stumbling and tussling along the boards than wide-open, high-speed play. Especially in Chicago, where our team has had and will continue to have an undersized bottom six and defense relative to most of the league.

As for the suspension on Hansen, it's hard to argue many more than three. Remember that it's 1 game out of 48 with a guy who has limited PIMs and no fines or suspensions. That was probably as much as they could get away with without the NHLPA filing a grievance -- I'm still not sure to what extent the union and arbitrators have been brought into the disciplinary procedure; that expanded counsel may not kick in till next year. We're thinking big numbers because Torres got 25, but I suspect we're forgetting that Hossa was made to leave a playoff game on a stretcher and that Torres's autobiography will be called A Life of Headshots. That was the league saying "that's fucking enough already" in the vein of the last big Matt Cooke suspension.
