Re: 621,000 viewers of Sunday night’s Pats/Colts game on TSN. That number does not include those watching on NBC. If BBM were capable of measuring the total audience, it would total well over 1 million.

When it comes to the CFL ratings, the increase should also be attributed to the fact the games this year were played on a Sunday. Last year, ratings suffered because the games were played on a Saturday for some foolish reason.

The hits you referenced aren’t any different than what Scott Stevens once produced.
These players were admiring thier passes and not keeping their heads up.
In todays NHL, especially now, players must be aware of their surroundings at all times, because these hits aren’t only coming from ‘known offenders’, but from anyone with a clear shot at them.
Any hit can be considered blind sided, if the person does not see it coming. Right?
The ‘hitee’ has to shoulder some of the responsibility in these matters, as they’ve undoubtedly been told repeatedly throughout their careers to keep their heads up.
Survival of the fittest in the greatest game on earth…

You’re being a bit harsh on Russ Courtnall. He was a pretty good player, with the Montreal and Vancouver that is.

You hit it bang on Mr Houston. Colin Campbell has dropped the ball/puck on these headshots. We don’t need a ” new ” rule. Just inforce what we have. A player ” finishing ” his check is just bullocks. Most of the players that get hit like this don’t even have possession of the puck! Late hits. Just a matter of time is all. What is acceptable after a player passes? 1 second? 0.5 seconds? Is there a ” time ” specified in the NHL rulebook?
Enforce the rule. You cannot hit a player unless he has possession of the puck!!! Anything else is a penalty.
simple.
Excellent blog/website you’ve created by the way.
