What was the injury to Peterson? The DPS video is much better as slow mo at seeing the hit. Peterson did not even tap his head on the ice. How was he injured? Did he get a shoulder injury? Did he miss a game?
Getting the wind knocked out of you or getting your bell rung is not an injury (i'm not talking full on concussion here). I realize we want to protect players and especially the head, but there was no trauma to the head on this play.
The DPS video says "this is not a hockey play". Um....yes it is. This is what happens when you are smaller and faster and skate circles around people.....eventually the bigger stronger guys get a chance to catch you.
Are we going to make rules that say the big strong guys are no longer allowed to check the smaller faster guys?
I am not advocating unnecessary violence, but I want my hockey back

They say he has a concussion. From the replay I never saw his head make contact with the glass or the ice. It is possible to sustain a concussion without contact to the head. Your head snapping back from a collision could do that. I didnt see anything like that here.

it’s also possible to say my “head hurts”, “that light is bright”, or“I just need a quick nap”.
it’s also possible to say “concussion-like symptoms”, without proof of a concussion, and sell it as a concussion.
Or maybe he’s just too soft to play in the NHL?

2. In no way, shape or form, should that get a suspension, even in a girls 12&under rec league
3. Looks like Peterson took some hints from Cindy on how to embellish

My guess is if there wasn't that pushing motion it wouldn't have been an issue.

After watching it five times, I'm surprised the hit from the back isn't the issue there, I know it would be if there was Cap sweater involved.
Concussions can happen from the whiplash too, there doesn't need to be direct contact.
