another great example of the leagues' officials not doing their job in calling dangerous hits that target the head, such as Lucic on Nash. This is just another reason why this sport will always remain the bush-league sport that it is. Total BS. nothing changes.
Nash practiced on Monday after playing on Sunday. The Rangers were quick to put Powe on IR even when reports said he was feeling better. You would think the Rangers would take the same precautions with Nash if he did suffer a head injury. He scored that shoot out goal with a head injury? The Rangers brass should smack some of their players in the head so they can put on those moves in a shootout. Nash had a shoulder and groin injury during the lockout.

Powe was knocked out on the ice. He could barely stand. Concussions are not like broken bones. Not every one is the same.
This is part of the player we got. With the way Nash plays, he's going to get hurt and miss several games a year. It happens. I hope it's not a concussion and he can get back to playing soon.
Oh god. If he were "banged up," he'd still be able to fly. This sucks big time. And it's even worse because we have two ghosts in Gaborik and Richards right now.
so its not at all possible that maybe they wanted him to stay at home and use the teams facilities to rehab an injury rather than travel with the team and not be able to use the team facilities.

A concussion is a concussion. If Nash suffered a concussion,the Rangers would have taken more precautions with him just like they did with Powe. They put him back on the ice to play a game and was at practice the very next day 2-3 days after getting banged up.
Ryan Carter said he suffered a head injury after game on Monday. He got hit by two Ottawa players including Neil at the same time. He had a hard time getting up. Carter left the ice and never returned.
Leonard said he watched him skate in warmups sunday testing his skating leading him to believe its his groin, said he talked to him after Bruin game and he was fine

I agree. I'm just tired of the injuries, the league has to take a hardline stance. There are a ton of examples of borderline hits, and stupid injuries (add Hossa to the list). The sport can't go past a certain point without cleaning this stuff up.
How many titles would Jordan have won if some guy could just elbow him in the face and take a 2 game suspension? Especially if it was the 17th guy on the opponent's depth chart.

the problem is that nash didn't lay down and cry like a baby
I don't really blame Torts for not saying anything besides "he's banged up". The way this league is, if you start saying upper or lower body injury, that's where other players will target when your player comes back. Just to try to take the other guy out again. The lack of respect for other players in the league is disgusting.
