As we all know, Germany needed extra time to beat Argentina in the final in Rio on Sunday.
But short of the political irresponsibility that the governing body is ignoring in picking their home nations, the new issue that the folks are not talking about when they need to discuss it is the concussions problem.
14 minutes after being taken off the pitch and being examined by his own physios, German defender Christoph Kramer collapsed on the turf and had to be stretchered off in the final against Argentina.

Here's the highlights with the Trouba incident in the second period...
"Trouba’s still getting evaluated but everything’s good, he’s got motion, he’s got everything," said Winnipeg coach Claude Noel. "I think they’re just running him through some tests to make sure everything’s fine." Trouba joked about it later on his Twitter feed: Thanks for the support. If you were wondering, the boards are not edible. I'll be back soon.
The Jets won, 4-3 in a shootout...
Oh, and so you know... Max Lapierre got five games for his check and Cody McLeod has an in person hearing for his,..

((HT: FS Detroit/NHL/Puck Daddy))

Third time this week, if you include the KHL hit we just posted...
And that's not a good thing...
Here's the Colorado point of view, thanks to Kukla's Korner...
