1. Tbh I didn’t think it was malicious in any way. Just seemed like an unfortunate collision. But god forbid, you skate through someone’s head and nothing happens to you. Friggin DOPS

2. That damn ole wheel of ‘justice’ just keeps on rolling.

3. Glad we know that Charlie horses are more impactful in this league than head injuries. I was really confused on the difference in severity.

5. This is dumb, it was clearly an accident. Really just trying to make their department appear less useless.

6. lol, this one they do something about? What a joke.

7. Blatant hit to the head: I sleep.

   Questionably malicious knee-to-knee hit: ***REAL SHIT***

   E: Head, not hit. I hate my fucking phone.

8. Oh shit, Makar is gonna miss time after our ignoring a head injury? Well, we better send a message next time. – DOPS, probably.

9. Awesome. Now do the other one, for real.

10. Some people may not remember the period of time where it was a legitimate question of whether Sid Crosby would play again, or retire due to lingering concussion issues. The fact that the league did nothing on the hit to Makar is pretty maddening. Intent doesn’t fucking matter.

11. Huh what about that Makar hit? Are we yelling into a void here

12. Oh so they do actually do something. That’s good, I just thought they say around collecting a pay check and jerking off to Tom Wilson hit compilations
