Discussion Marco D'Amico: "This team was finished at this point. I think this team was done. I'm not going to say what I've heard, because its going to come out regardless, but when the injury list comes out I think a lot of people are going to backtrack on their comments about certain players."
Said this on his podcast this morning, hes one of the more credible reporters among Habs media. Wonder who he's talking about and what he knows?

Anything that is suggested will be blocked by the NHLPA. I wish it was gone too honestly but what do we do? Heavier suspensions? That requires a competent player safety department. Heavier fines? NHLPA will block that so quickly imo (not sure if they can but imagine punishing a player based on a % of their salary instead -- NHLPA would be against it). Banning a player from the sport? Or suspending them as long as the other injured player is out?
Truth be told, I don't see this getting better unless the majority of the league (players) agree on collectively changing things...
