The NHL has a serious goaltending concussion problem

Question

https://apnews.com/dca05dd0915f43dcb8ef40f24fd99e7e&#xA; &#xA;The biggest problem is IMO, is the game is not allowed to police itself anymore. You go charging into a goaltender then you would pay the price. But you can&#x27;t be physical at all anymore.  You go charging into the goaltender you sit for a game or two. &#xA; &#xA;Also the goaltenders need to go Billy Smith some, that will clear out the crease

I totally agree that there is a big problem,

Billy Smith, sweet memories ......

Another problem are the late hits

when a hit is made with the intention to bruise or hurt an opponent...or anybody else........ is called an assault

.. an assault is very serious...but not in the NHL
