Cup Day, 7/16/16: Sid tells the story of his first “meeting” with Steve Yzerman

In attempting to make a case that the NHL has whitewashed its concussion problem, lawyers for the former players pointed to a study published in 2011 by doctors involved with the NHL’s concussion working group. “Despite the concussion working group’s goal of being ‘to protect the health and safety of the players with publication of research,’ its study’s conclusion was modified before publication,” lawyers for the former players wrote in a court filing. “NHL attorney Grand edited the publication twelve separate times.” “What started out as a conclusion that it was ‘necessary’ to remove concussed players from the game in which they suffered the injury, was diluted to ‘prudent precautionary medical decision’ and finally, in the published article, to the softer still: ‘more conservative or precautionary measures should be taken in the immediate postconcussion period…’” “By deliberately and systematically limiting public access to concussion data, controlling how the data was analyzed and used, and exercising oversight and editorial input into the study drafts, the NHL quietly neutered the value of its study.”
