Injury Report: AV: Stepan out four to six weeks.

[Doctor King Schultz]

The reffing in this league is reaching all time lows

 

[Sayba]

Hmm never thought I'd miss Martin St. Louis

 

[eco's bones]

I expect the Rangers are going to recall a forward and I suppose that that forward might be Glass but there are other options. Gibbons, Megna, Adam.

 

[Unpredictable1]

yaaaaaaay -.-
Is it just me or is Stepan super freaking fragile?

Considering what he has played through, some of the hits he's remained in the game after, broken jaw and eating through a straw and still playing, I would say he's completely opposite of fragile.

 

[wolfgaze]

I know it didn't and doesn't change anything but I'm a little happier that McI destroyed him for that after hearing this

McIlrath maybe got in one good punch. It wasn't a very good fight regardless... Saying he 'destroyed' the guy is an exaggeration and a mischaracterization of what transpired...

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

It's time for Tanner Glass to shine. You've earned your call-up buddy. Let's see you make the most of it, here's to a long career as a New York Ranger.

...



STEPAN COME BACK.. pls...

Destroyed is a relative term. I saw around 4-5 jabs 2 overhand rights and a uppercut. They may look soft because we are not on the other end. Belevski is not a weak guy but all he really did was take punches with his face then lay on the ice.

He got in maybe half a dozen left hand jabs and three or four nice punches while taking zero. This is the NHL in 2015. That's what a one sided fight looks like.

Exaclty, Belesky didn't even get a shot in and more or less just turtled and hid his head for the whole (short) bout.


It's absolutely insane that we ended up shorthanded on that play. What a joke the reffing was today.

 

[Calad]

yaaaaaaay -.-

This is a big test of adversity for this team. Let's see how they handle it.

Lets see. Broken leg in a freak accident in camp last year, Broken ribs on that hit here, and broken jaw in the 2014 cup which he had wired shut and missed only 1 game. I think its just you

 

[Giacomin]

Stepan is one tough player. He will be missed

 

[Placid]

That royally sucked

Really hope the team steps up in his absence... we sort of need them to...

It's you. He's been out once in his career with an injury missing a grand total of 12 games.

 

[bhamill]

Stephan is a tough player and hasn't been injured much. He needs to start expecting these cheap shots. He could have minimized the impact but because it was late he didn't brace himself.
Mcilrath hit Belensky about six times,rag dolled him and humiliated him while Belensky missed with the only punch he attempted while trying to hide his face. Unless you require a concussion, facial injury or nasty cut for "destruction", he destroyed him.

 

[silverfish]

Clean? It was incredibly late.

Hm. I figured the 'Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb' part of that post was pretty clear

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Clean? It was incredibly late.

The distance Stepan was from the boards is what bothers me most, very dangerous spot to hit somebody from. Reminds of when Brad Richards got injured during the 2013 season.

“@stevezipay: AV. Stepan out four to six weeks.”

 

[nevesis]

“@stevezipay: Presuming that Stepan will be placed on retroactive IR. 10 games/24 days. Gives room for callup.”

“@stevezipay: Presuming that Stepan will be placed on retroactive IR. 10 games/24 days. Gives room for callup.â€

And by callup, they mean Tanner Glass.

Can we do it Blackhawks style and bank a bunch of cap space to be able to afford a high-cap-hit rental?

Good time to trade for Stamkos.

 

[NYRFAN218]

Was expecting more of a 6-8 week timeline so this is good in that sense.

 

[FLYLine27*]

I ****ing swear to god if they call up Glass..

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Ugh.

I guess it's not the worst to get to recuperate for a month. One of the struggling forwards will need to pick up the slack.

 

[mti79]

How about you put Fast with Lindberg. They have some chemistry from Hartford.
Nash-Brass-Zucc
Kreider-Hayes-Miller (ouch)
Fast-Lindberg-Stalberg
Etem-Stoll-Moore

Although, I could also see something like
Nash-Brass-Zucc
Kreider-Lindberg-Hayes
Miller-Moore-Fast
Etem-Stoll-Stalberg

Totally agree. The guy is a warrior.
