Good article in the wake of Kassian and Cormier.

A league that gives penalties for shooting a puck over the glass and hands out a suspension for speaking badly of ex-girlfriends can't find its way to a rule that protects players during or after hockey? Find me a jury that will buy that argument. A solid court case that exposes the concept that decimating even the most talented players is part of the "cost of doing business" will have a much greater impact. Who wouldn't like to see an owner or commissioner explain in open court why it's impossible to make a rule outlawing blows to the head when the NFL, arguably the most violent league to hit the big stage since the lions took on the Christians, has done so with certifiable accomplishment.
