Does anybody else realize how protected players are compared to the good Old Time Hockey? When Gordie Howe got his head split open in the Toronto-Detroit playoff series in 1950, did Detroiters run to DPD? Since the lockout, it's a much faster paced game. Players do not need to be coddled like children. They know how to handle themselves and those who don't should be playing in the minor leagues.
