There are lots of ways we could improve the NHL rulebook, but here's one that's relatively simple.
rulebook, and almost as many ways to parse the minor/major distinction. But boarding, the call on this play, is one of the many with which at least part of the distinction comes down to the question of injury.
Is the player hurt? The penalty gets more severe. Is he OK? Then a two-minute minor is probably enough. Put it this way: The Avalanche’s medical staff didn’t realize Cogliano had a fractured neck until after the game. But the referee was supposed to figure it out on the ice in real time? Does that sound reasonable? The rulebook seems to think so.
Back then, our thinking went, it wasn’t a complicated question. Was the kid bleeding all over the place? Was he out cold? Was a bone sticking out of the skin somewhere? Then he was injured. But if he could make it off the ice under his own power, or maybe with a little help from his teammates, then he was fine — got his bell rung, but he’ll shake it off and get right back out there. Keep your head up next time, kid.
