NHL Player Safety makes ruling on hit that injured Filip Chytil.

The Vancouver Canucks were left fuming on Saturday night after they had to watch recently acquired forward Filip Chytil exit the game late in the third period after he appeared to suffer a brain injury following a dangerous hit from the Chicago Blackhawks' Jason Dickinson.

While it was clear that Chytil's teammates as well as Canucks' head coach Rick Tocchet and the other members of the Canucks' coaching staff felt that Dickinson should have been penalized on the play, it would seem that the National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety may not feel the same way.

According to a report from Vancouver Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal, the NHL's Department of Player Safety will not be issuing any supplemental discipline to Dickinson for his hit on Chytil. 

I suspect that the news will not be well received given the nature of the injury to Chytil, an injury that some believe could result in a player with his history of concussions needing an extended or even permanent layoff in order to properly recover. Additionally this will sting all that much more given that Chytil was viewed as the biggest piece the Canucks received in return from the New York Rangers in the trade that sent former Canucks star forward J.T. Miller to New York.

Did the league make the right call here? Should the severity of the injury to Chytil have been a factor? You can review the footage yourself in the short clip below, and be sure to let me know your thoughts in the comments.
