Cogliano Taken to Dressing Room After Scary Hit From Behind
The Colorado Avalanche are gearing up for another Cup run this year, as they sit near the top of the Western Conference standings. To do so, however, they will need to stay healthy.

NHL Having a Serious Hitting From Behind Issue This Year
The NHL has seen several scary hits from behind this year, which is concerning as the game gets faster and faster. NHL Player Safety has been inconsistent with its punishments for the hits, as well, creating uncertainty around what the League thinks is okay and what isn't.
NHL loves hits from behind. Absolutely ridiculous the shit they allow on plays like this.
Clearly, the NHL will have to take a stand on this type of play, and consistently enforce whatever punishment they deem to be deserved from the hit. Luckily for the Avalanche, this time it didn't end up with an injury.
