The Vancouver Canucks have had a gripe with the NHL’s Department of Player Safety more than once this season.
Back in November, the DoPS let Nazem Kadri walk after his headshot on Daniel Sedin. Tuesday, Nashville Predators forward Cody McLeod threw a similar hit on Sven Baertschi:
Baertschi left the game soon afterward. Vancouver immediately announced that he had a concussion.
After the Kadri incident, fans in Vancouver were concerned that Player Safety would let this hit go as well.
