If he can make the team, great. That will mean he rebounded. If he doesn't great. At this point, I'm fine with either, because if we learned anything with Cameron last season, he won't be there if he doesn't earn it.

Not necessarily.
A lot of the guys who were out last year (Phillips, Neil) were due to injuries. When Neil was healthy, the team was already on their magical run.
We really don't know yet if Cameron will coach by contract or by talent.

I think Cameron swinged him with a sledgehammer in the back to make sure he wasn't coming back for the rest of the season.

I may not be the biggest fan the guy, but I really do hope he is okay and it's not a serious head injury.

camera angle showed the hit didn't look too bad, but he was clearly dazed all the way from being hit to exiting the ice

Got to get more serious about these kinds of hits.
Whatever you say about principle point of contact and intent or whatever, the concussion happened for a reason. I would say it had a lot to do with the way akeson charged at him and lunged upwards at his head area.
These things can end careers. Even if he had his head down, no need to touch his head. Imo the hitter needs to go out of his way to AVOID the head. And if he doesn't he should get suspended.
Akeson clearly did not do his best to avoid contact with greening's head.

If Greening had any shot of making the senators and starting the season with some momentum, it probably just died in its tracks with that hit.
He's done with the Sens, and in all likelihood the NHL. Sorry to hear cause he really does seem like a good dude.

Those types of "upward motion" hits need to be banned. They may look good on camera, but they aren't a real part of hockey. They are designed to hurt/injure, not to separate player from puck.

Greening skated right into Akeson, jesus.
I mean, the hit was bad because Akeson lifted up into Greening's head & neck, and brought his elbow right up to the head, so that part was bad... but come on Colin. He had his head down skating through the neutral zone and didn't even see him! Of course you are going to get knocked into next week.
If Akeson doesn't get his arm up, it's a beauty hit. Greening was totally oblivious.

Feel bad for the guy. His slim chance of making the squad is pretty much done. He might still be called up later if injuries hit. I'm no Greening fan, but you gotta feel for the guy.

I don't exactly feel bad for Greening. He is still making millions and he is apparently really smart. Most likely could easily find another high paying job besides hockey.
Yes, it does suck that he wouldn't be able to play his favorite sport. But he has something that a lot of players don't have, which is a college education. He has a fall back plan in case something happens where as other players would be more **** out of luck if they didn't make it in hockey.
