The hockey season starts a week from tonight with the Bruins playing at home vs the Flyers. Should be another great season for the B's, hoping for a repeat of last year. :banana:

Very thoughtful article here by Ken Dryden on Crosby and head injuries in sports:
Legendary NHL goaltender Ken Dryden on head injuries in hockey - Grantland
It makes it hard to deny there's a real growing problem with head contact. For example, I was not aware that the brain scans of some deceased hockey 'enforcers' have been showing brain damage. Pretty scary stuff.
But is Bettman the right guy to make positive changes? I get the sense that he's neither liked nor respected around the league, but maybe I'm only seeing that from a fan's perspective. He's in a real tough position, no question about it.
I can't stand Bettman. I am so ready for hockey. Just not into the NFL at all this year. I am hoping to see the same familiar svtp hockey crowd from last year and also that the Pens preseason run continues into the reg season. Will be nice to see Sid back on the ice too.
LETS GO PENS!
I don't know how much more the NHL can do to protect players from head injuries without taking even more contact out of the game. They have implemented rules for this and I think it has helped. Maybe the helmets need to be redesigned as well. There is always going to be risks no matter what and the players know that.
BUMP, who else is pumped up for tomorrow?!?!?!
