Pittsburgh
Penguins Kris Letang returned to the ice this Tuesday (January 17, 2012) in
hopes of returning to the line-up sometime this week after suffering a
devastating hit to the head by Montreal Canadians forward Max Pacioretty on November 26, 2011.
"It’s been a rough time, honestly sitting at home," Letang said.
Letang is one of a number of star players recently sidelined by a concussion,
but my question is was this play avoidable? The speed of the new NHL gives
players with the puck no time to react when an opponent is coming at full speed;
and all Pacioretty was trying to do was eliminate a quality scoring chance.
