As a neurosurgeon I do wish what you say was true. Unfortunately winning trumps everything.

Just look at the Patriots and Julian Edelman. Clear cut concussion. And on the biggest stage, brought back into the game. And that's with all the media storm and litigation surrounding NFL's concussion problems.

That said, if Ferland had a concussion, from what I superficially see of the Flames, I do not think they would play him.
