Bobby Orr, the greatest defenceman of all time, a tough, rugged player in a time when the game was supposedly nastier, has repeatedly spoken out against head shots. They weren't part of the game, Orr said a couple of years ago in a long diatribe against head hits.
"I was hit a lot when I played and I didn't get hit in the head with checks," Orr said. "Players didn't always hit like that. That's not part of bodychecking.
So using the Don Cherry visor logic of "eliminate the cause by eliminating the effect," I guess players should stop wearing helmets, and everything will be A-OK.
