Head Shots

The NHL is trying to rid the league of head shots, which have caused many serious injuries. Sidney Crosby, captain of  the Pittsburgh Penguins, was victim of two head shots, one in January 1st 2011 and the other on January 5th 2011. These head shots resulted in Crosby getting a severe concussion, which has cost him the remainder of this hockey season. Raffi Torres of the Vancouver Canucks received a 4 game suspension for a blindside hit to another players head. The NHL was making an example out of him. An example which seems pointless now, due to the multiple headshots that have taken place during the playoffs that have gone undisciplined.
