This article doesn't really have any numbers or data that supports suspensions are making the game safer. Its nothing more than an explanation of the supposed theory behind using suspensions to take the brutal and permanent injuries. In fact I would argue these new rules and the handling of suspensions makes the game less safe. Instead of players taking their safety into their own hands and watching out for themselves they put themselves in vulnerable positions on the ice with the hopes that these rules and suspensions will have their back. The problem is they don't. Its really up to each individual player to look out for their own safety. I'm not suggesting the league should be anything goes and no rules but there is an overreach here.
