Or players delivering the hits are much bigger/stronger and have harder equipment

This year is all about Bordeleau for me. Sharks better dress everything who can fight February 26. Clean hit or not, Landeskog is a Calder trophy winner, a captain and you respond.

lol

thats the spirit....

thought he wasnt hurt lol go sharks....

Yes I know, Stuart got the Buddha beaten out of him for the hit. But the fact that Landeskog is sidelined will created more fireworks from the AVS and we have a great line with Bordeleau and McLeod to do some damage.

I hope Landy is back healthy soon as every normal hockey fan would. If the AVS injure Marleau I would wish him a soon comeback.

Looking for the February 26 game anyway

If in fact he is out with a concussion, I fail to understand how you think players would have been better able to withstand concussions from one era to the next.

I don't think this is a toughness issue, or an issue of players being softer today (not when we are talking about concussions). Players are bigger, skate faster, and wear weaponry on their elbows and shoulders that they did not have the 'luxury' of having in the game in the 80's.

It makes absolutely zero sense to me why players are allowed to wear those shoulder and elbow pads.

Landy is a synonym to young tough player so talking about how the players are soft nowdays in his case is pathetic. Watch some of his OHL clips with the Rags. Hopkins is soft
