PROTECT OUR NHL PLAYERS
Hello, I am starting a petition to help MR. Golasano in his quest to stop the head shots in the NHL so no one else gets hurt. You can read his letter on Sabres.com. Here are a few quotes from his letter, " Hitting is a very important part of our game. You hit to break up a shot, you hit to disrupt a pass, your hit to battle for the puck and your hit to gain position for a defensive or offensive play. There are many times a player can make a hit on a vulnerable player but chooses not to for fear of injuring an opponent for no practical advantage. Its called respect." " What we cannot allow are hits that are designed to injure and maim. The hit delivered to Chris Drury the other night was a hit to injure. I'm my view there is no other way to view that play." If you have seen the game you would understand how wrong this hit was! So lets pull together as Parents, Fans and community to help get this rule changed before someone ends up dead. This is a game that we like to enjoy as a family and not have one player ruin something for everyone. Please copy and paste into a new email and forward to all your friends then send it back to jpietras03@aol.com thank you,
