NFL – Helmet Hit Decision

What will this mean for NFL Hit Videos?
The NFL will immediately begin suspending players for dangerous and flagrant hits, particularly those involving helmets.
The league’s announcement comes one day after its vice president of football operations told The Associated Press said such penalties could be forthcoming. The NFL said such discipline will be in place for this weekend’s games.
In the past, players were either fined or ejected for illegal hits. But after a series of flagrant tackles last weekend, several of which resulted in concussions, the NFL ratcheted up the punishment.

Cam Fowler Probable for Wednesday…With Broken Nose

Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler suffered a broken nose in last night’s 3-2 Ducks win over Phoenix. He is expected to accompany the team on the upcoming road trip and is probable for Wednesday’s game at Columbus.

Fowler was driven face-first into the boards in the second period after skating around three different Coyotes and taking a shot that nearly snuck over the goal line. He left the ice with a noticeable cut on the bridge of his nose and did not return to the game.

Earlier in the period, Fowler scored his first career goal to give Anaheim its first lead of the game.

Here is video of the incident:
