Players Want To Tweak Proposed Rule

NHL players are looking to tweak the proposed rule on blindsided hits to the head in an effort to get it in place this season.

Competition committee member Jason Spezza said that the NHL Players' Association is looking to make a counterproposal to the rule drafted by general managers earlier this month. However, the players aren't seeking any major changes.

"It's very similar," Spezza said. "We're looking for a Band-Aid fix for the rest of the year in case something happens, but in the long term, we have to sit down together and find a better solution than just tweaking a little rule. It has to be something that's talked about. It can't just be sprung on.

"It's too bad because we've been talking for two years to try to get something in place, but it's hard to find the proper language and the right rule."
