Some interesting stuff:

Mark Spector‏@SportsnetSpec2m
Suit says NHL made game more dangerous when it cut down on "clutch and grab" hockey, opened game up post-lockout.

Nick Cotsonika‏@cotsonika2m
Suit: Plaintiffs "reasonably relied on the NHL’s silence on this vital health issue as an indication that concussions were not dangerous."

Nick Cotsonika‏@cotsonika55s
Suit alleges NHL knew changing rules after the lockout would cause more concussions.

Craig Custance‏@CraigCustance2m
Interesting to me that nicknames are noted in this concussion lawsuit - like "Grim Reaper" or "The Enforcer." Is it for additional impact?

And here comes Mr. Cox:

Fascinating how the reflex reaction of so many is to side with the NHL in this lawsuit. Still. After so many years. Still backing the owners

Damien Cox‏@DamoSpin5m
That's challenge for 10 players. They're taking a chance of being ostracized. So many ex-players rely on NHL for jobs. #dontrocktheboat

Damien Cox‏@DamoSpin5m
I remember how so many badmouthed Carl Brewer when he was fighting league on pensions. Until he won, of course.

Damien Cox‏@DamoSpin1m
I mean, didn't those people working in the mines know it was dangerous? Shouldn't they have known to wear proper equipment?
