I do not think I have ever before had the urge to go start a flamewar on a hockey board

OK, so if we're talking NHL rule changes, let's try this: If someone's going to be disciplined for a dirty shot resulting in concussion or other serious injury?

You get suspended, and you can come back when the guy you hit comes back.

Sure it's arbitrary and unfair and depends heavily on luck. So does the long-term recovery and prospects of players with concussion.

I'd also like to see it in the NFL, which would do something with the guy that got paid for the hit that looks like it's ending Rashard Mendenhall's career with the Pittsburgh Steelers too. The bounty program is league wide and everyone knows it but no one can "prove" it.
