NHL board of governors approve head shot rule...

the penalty for shoulder shots to the head,is a five minute major penalty,plus a game misconduct,and possible extra discipline(suspension) by the NHL,because of severity of the blow to head... if concussed by head shot,expect suspension by league... example: playoffs:Scott Stevens laying out Eric Lindros,during a Devils/Flyers series... Lindros did play again,but not for the Flyers... animosity between Lindros' father,and family,and Flyers' front office,mostly Flyers' GM,and Hall of Famer,Bobby Clarke caused a trade,by the Flyers,to New York Rangers,because family lived in Toronto,and family wanted Eric to play in Maple Leaf blue and white,and Flyers refused... Lindros played three years in New York,and then played a year in Toronto... he finished his career in Dallas,but he was never the same player,after the head shot,by Scott Stevens,suffering many concussions,after that day...
