Hello followers, for this edition of my blog, me and a few friends have fired off a podcast. We are all big sports fans and enjoy the show PTI or Pardon the Interruption. In honour of this show, we have decided to do a PTI like podcast. For my concussion discussions, we talk about staged fighting in the NHL, Detroit Red Wing defender Niklas Kronwall and his devastating body checks, as well as if the NHL is sugar coating the players and taking concussions too seriously in today's NHL.All three of these topics are important and relate to the NHL's concussion epidemic. Staged fights can have a major impact on the shelf life of enforcers in the NHL, as we have seen with the deaths of three former players this past summer. Kronwall has developed into one of the most dangerous open ice hitters in the game, but his hits are almost always clean. Should he be forced to fight just because he lays a clean hit? Finally, this season has featured more concussions then ever before. Is this because our awareness has increased, or are we babying players and having them sit out to raise more awareness? I hope you all enjoy listening to this podcast as much as we did making it! Don't forget to leave some comments, and keep your stick down and your head up.
