In an effort to reduce the number of dangerous blows to the head, NHL general managers are proposing a broader interpretation of Rule 48, according to an EsPN.com report. The league originally implemented the rule at the outset of the season to eliminate blindside hits to the head. Meeting in Boston before Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals, the GMs recommended eliminating the term 'blindside' from the rule to allow more penalties to be called on a broader range of corresponding hits.
