" The issue head shots that all. -- but Rory we see much hullabaloo about nothing. I I think -- just the head -- having a blanket had shot rule. Troubles me I know we have problems with head injuries and it's something that we need to tackle it's just. -- you bring up the idea of a blanket had shot rule for all of these you know -- head I think that's -- I have a problem RD have rules in the rule book. That we can call. More often I mean I think that'll be 30 -- body checking that the -- was -- body checking rules are charging. -- from behind. And board. And they'd never get called me and telling how many times in ninety -- guy. Sometimes they turn -- how many times a night you -- defenseman just playing the puck along the boards with the back to plate not turning. But it -- in him call that for hitting from behind in the team and give them five minute he heard the guy and then. The supplementary discipline have to listen to the -- and picking like these guys don't just give them two or three game suspension this ridiculous. You know 810 game suspension and more after that. They had to have rules in the rule book now they can call more stringent that will take care of this problem we don't need another head shot because that open up other problems I think we can all agree. That players will do anything to sort of skirt the rules and and that's why players turn their backs and that's what the NHL's the only league. Note the only chosen of this will minor argument -- this rule where you turn. And you get hit from behind it's not a penalty for the and it's -- does not yet know they have -- I think you turn in the NHL you get hit from behind it's not a penalty for the at a guy. But many of the league if you turn it is a penalty in the end the NHL can't have that rule. Because guys will turn just to try and draw those penalties. So what's to stop a -- to have a head shot rule. You know coming along the boards coming along behind the net he's gonna keep moving his feet what's to stop them from sort of his bending over a little bit now and."

" I don't know that -- fact that maybe he'll be fifty years -- won't have a scrambled -- and even then he turns his back you know and hitting from behind yo he could just as easily snap -- finds it got those guys are turnaround against the -- To me that this whole debate comes down to the culture of the game and the fact that GM's. And the people that run this game can't get there heads -- on the fact that if you eliminate these it's -- it's for that it's an all or nothing proposition. If you take hits that at bat of the game. Then all of a sudden we're point 44 arena. And nobody is getting hit. And it's going to be out a lousy games boring and nobody's gonna watch but I like communities annually where did you of course it hasn't been the case because it's not it's not true it doesn't happen. And these guys are the only people who don't wanna see and had shot rule. 76% of players last few players report and the NHL PA 76% of someone had shot rule we just did a poll on TH and dot com. I'd vote what was 161700. People. Were respondents 69% of the people want an outright ban on shots. These guys are the only ones you don't want it and they don't want it. Because they're too afraid they're too afraid to Pakistan are too afraid to dictate how and -- and do something about this because it's for them it's all or nothing. You take these dumb hits out of -- game nobody's gonna hit anymore I don't buy it."

" It seems like an inevitability that we will eventually see I had shot walker Tomlin -- looking -- Oh maybe."

" I don't know alive. Not in my lifetime or yours my kids are my kids kids I mean I don't see I don't see happening I don't see any appetite on the part of the people who run this game. To have any sort of ban on head shots. They're caught it now okay so the GM met last week. And they decided that in the future they're gonna have a committee that's maybe gonna talk about it and then maybe affect committee comes up with something maybe go to the players that he. That he wrote to the rules committee and from there maybe -- voted to the board of governors and maybe there'll be a rule change. I mean come on let's get let's get proactive on people are getting hurt. People are getting hurt badly. It doesn't need to be done you don't have to have this rule if you put in -- right penalties players are gonna listen and knocking."

" Well no matter what we -- in the future in terms ahead judging by all the news and analysis on the hockey news.com."
