Yes Ludlum may not have shown any symptoms of concussions in the game, but that's two shots to the head that certainly weren't passive. Both players went into his head with force. Maybe different degrees of force, but still force. How can anyone say what impact that will have on his long term health? For me it's simple. If Steward is punished for a clumsy challenge when he thought he should avoid contact then Van Der Flier (Think it was him) and Aki need to be punished too otherwise it makes a mockery of the system to protect players. It happens too often that some teams get picked up and other missed completely, even when pointed out post game.</blockquote>
