      Matt Cooke had it coming after shortening many careers while with Vancouver or Pittsburgh. One of the dirtiest player I've ever seen, I'm glad players can't be Matt Cookes anymore (or what Kane did back then, he cannot do anymore without extreme comeuppance).

Utree in his Hockey Culture video went over some former players who suffered harder once their hockey careers came to an end. Joe Murphy was said to have been homeless, Dan Carcillo and Nick Boyton took some heavy damage to their heads from the scraps and fights they got into throughout their short-lived careers, many players chose not to say or do anything and just coped with the trauma. If that hit was made in today's NHL, Stevens would get a hefty suspension and be constantly booed by the other team's fans whenever he set foot in their arena.

      I want Arizona to get a team again someday, because when a team is given in expansion to a conference, one has to be given to the other nowadays, no more can there be leagues with even numbers of teams or conferences with 3-4 more teams than the other. It's when Quebec City will be back and don't come at me with the "small market BS", the Videotron Centre, is a NHL ready arena, who hosts a QMJHL team (along with the other sports facilities in there), the Quebec Ramparts, who typically are a great team but not always, they were amongst the worse last season and they still got 20k+ people, for a Junior game. And the people in Gatineau, QC on the other side of Ottawa who happen to be Sens fans, well, they coexisted when both the Sens and Nords existed, not causing issues for Montreal, who have a huge population and a huge amount of fans. They will lose maybe just 10%, many Nords fans never watched hockey again, because it meant switching to Montreal as your main team, it took me until 2002 playoffs to get me interested in the Habs. Now I would be a bit torn, but I would end up being a Nords fan, especially since I live closer to Quebec City than Montreal.
      It pains me to see the Coyotes go in some way, one of my best friends in high school bought a white jersey of theirs when they were in the league since maybe 2 seasons, their best era, with Roenick doing very good as a 1st centre and great goaltending, they never could capture back the kind of team they inherited from Winnipeg (and the changes they made to make them even better), by the turn of the century that era was fully over. Always loved that Jersey he had anyways, one of the case where the white one is superior to the home jersey imo.

    TLDR: Brain injuries are always bad and have longterm consequences.
    First, props to THG for discussing CTE and related injuries. It could easily be an overlooked topic given the amount of games and news covered, but it is discussed on this channel periodically.
    Brain injuries were misunderstood for a long time (arguably still are misunderstood), and I’d say by personal experience that they can/will cause longterm consequences that can’t always be foreseen. My concussion was a singular, non-hockey related event. I can’t imagine the toll it must have on hockey players to have repeated incidents throughout their careers. To continue playing when back from injury and still get into body checks and various physical plays is dangerous no matter what. Sure, these guys are trained athletes built like tanks (at least compared to us average Joes) and they ARE aware of the risk of injury, but damm. Greg Johnson, Paul Kariya and Eric Lindros (to name only a select few) should be prime examples that TBI and high contact sports like hockey DO have undeniable correlations with CTE.
    I love hockey, but I personally think the NHL not acknowledging CTE is shameful. I live in hope that things like concussion protocols and in-arena spotters are a sign that they’ll get there someday.

    • @bartsanders1553

      TL;DR
      Symptoms of CTE, which occur in four stages, generally appear eight to ten years after an individual experiences repetitive mild traumatic brain injuries.
      First-stage symptoms are confusion, disorientation, dizziness, and headaches. Second-stage symptoms include memory loss, social instability, impulsive behavior, and poor judgment. Third and fourth stages include progressive dementia, movement disorders, hypomimia, speech impediments, sensory processing disorder, tremors, vertigo, deafness, depression and suicidality.[7]
      Additional symptoms include dysarthria, dysphagia, cognitive disorders such as amnesia, and ocular abnormalities, such as ptosis.[8] The condition manifests as dementia, or declining mental ability, problems with memory, dizzy spells or lack of balance to the point of not being able to walk under one's own power for a short time and/or Parkinsonism, or tremors and lack of coordination. It can also cause speech problems and an unsteady gait. Patients with CTE may be prone to inappropriate or explosive behavior and may display pathological jealousy or paranoia.

      The NHL and NFL are getting sued because they knew about the long term risks of head injuries and covered it up, so players didn’t know about those potential risks. UFC/MMA are open about those risks, so fighters can make an informed decision about participating. It’s the difference between “what, no, there’s no long term risk from head injuries, you’ll be fine” vs “here are the long term risks, if you still want to do this, that’s your choice as an adult”.

    Hi Shannon, I really enjoy your channel. As someone who grew up with Rugby League (I’m an Aussie), I am completely confounded by the tolerance of hits to the head via ‘dropping the gloves’ in hockey. I can’t think of another sport that has so many means by which players can be catastrophically injured by play. The bizarre (tactical?) pantomime of guys clocking each other in the head while the match officials stand off to the side is not really something you expect to see in sport in 2024. The fact that the fights are cheered by the crowd and replayed on the TV coverage makes me wonder if those watching view the players as cartoon characters. I read Ken Dryden’s excellent book about the death of Steve Montador (Game Change), and I wonder how much has changed in the years since his death. The NHL seems to have a pretty self-serving and cynical view towards the issue of head trauma in hockey.

    CTE is brutal. the problem with hockey, and most other contact sports, is that it is like a drug. players want that high now, and damn the consequences. i have had several concussions, and i didn't tell anybody, because i wanted to stay in. currently, at the age of 40 i still don't have regrets about it. I don't know if i will, but those were the best years of my life.

      You may not; you may end up retiring before you’re 60 because depression, anxiety, or intermittent brain fog episodes make you unable to continue working.
      This is how I see it: you take on a mortgage when you’re young but, unlike a traditional loan, you don’t know what the interest rates are and you’re not allowed to make any payments at all until the term is expired. Maybe it’s 5 years later; maybe it’s 35 years later. Maybe the rates were low and you can easily pay off the mortgage; maybe they were very high and it’s going to cost you a lot more than you expected. You don’t know the cost, until you do know.
      Good luck; hopefully you continue to not have any issues from TBIs or non-traumatic brain injuries in the future. ✌️

    As a former coyotes fan I am so disappointed and disgusted how all of this turned out I could care less if the NHL ever comes back to Arizona. I'm also not at all shocked Meruelo walked away. I never believed he was actually serious about an expansion team. As far as retaining rights to the to the "team", I had assumed he was going to try to sell it. I guess it all just got too stupid and complicated to be realistic. It might jut be my paranoid distrustful nature, but a lot of this seems to have happened by design.

    Leagues/organizations in charge of martial arts like boxing, kickboxing, pro wrestling, Muay Thai, MMA, etc that involve strikes to the head should take note of this if they haven't already.

      The difference is that fighters know the inherent risks and are licensed by commissions in the states they fight in. They also have to get regular brain scans and get cleared by medical doctors assigned by the state and not their own in order to fight. It's much different than in hockey or football where you can play as long as a doctor (paid by the team and therefore influenced by them) clears them. Not to mention contact sports played down the risks of brain injuries and CTE whereas in combat sports brain injuries are assumed.

      There's one medically retired MMA fighter... he never made it to pro before being medically retired... the reason was simple, he was KO'ed in a fight. The punch landed with enough kinetic energy to _break_ his skull and send skull fragments into his brain. Luckily, the medical staff was good and the hospital was able to surgically remove all the fragments... but he now has a hole in his head... which means _he_ can never fight as the _next_ punch might be fatal.

Inherent risks require more stringent protocols. Hockey and Football were able to get away with it for years because they didn't believe there was any inherent risk of TBI and/or minimalized it. Not to mention that the team had paid doctors on call to clear their players that were willing to do so even if it wasn't medically sound to do so. Honestly all injuries should be assessed not by team doctors or team medical staff but by neutral medical staff that aren't paid by either the team or the players.

    As a long-time Sharks fan, I wish they would just tank for the next three to four years and collect draft picks. They really are a bad team, burdened with some very bad contracts (Vlasic, whose contract runs through the 25-26 season, Couture, whose contract runs through the 26-27 season, and Goodrow, whose contract runs through the 26-27 season as well). Additionally, the Sharks are still paying for Burns, Hertl, and EK65. Because of salary retention on those three players, they can't retain any salary on other players until the end of this upcoming 24-25 season (when the Burns contract comes off). Karlsson's contract doesn't come off until the end of the 26-27 season and the Shark's will keep paying a portion of Hertl's contract until the end of the 2029-2030 season. In short, I, and my fellow Sharks fans, are hosed.
