I've seen multiple hits, collisions, etc... this season where the player(s) helmet got knocked off due to the contact. I've also seen players get hit directly in the face for head with slap shots. Great strides have been made with protective equipment, but the league needs to enforce tighter chin straps. Combine that with the phasing out of head contact and hopefully Shaw is one of the last players to be forced into early retirement from concussions. The game is faster than ever. That's great from an entertainment perspective, but with more speed comes more injuries.
