Saturday's Dump & Chase: No Laughing Matter

In what could be a huge moment for the future of the league, NHL Commissioner Garry Bettman has now testified as part of a continuing concussion lawsuit against the NHL. Yet as pointed out by SI, his testimony has in no way been made available to the media. As with any contact sport, the future health of hockey is closely tied to player safety on its highest level. It remains to be seen if the NHL can wriggle its way out from under the burden of guilt in a similar fashion to the NFL last year.
