Can't link on my work computer, but Tim Campbell tweeted that his "visor broke, blood near eye chamber". Scary stuff, even scarier to think if he didn't have a visor.

It might not of been as bad without a visor if the visor breaking caused the injury.

Here is the recovery from the never wrong internet.

How Long Do Subconjunctival Hemorrhages Last?

In most cases, it takes seven to 10 days for the hemorrhage to dissipate on its own. As the hemorrhage disappears with time, the affected area can change color, like a bruise.

This is bad but it could've been a lot worse. Hopefully he's not out too long but a long as everything is back to 100% it doesn't really matter.

not the first time a visor breaking causes more damage then a puck would;ve. has to be a way to fix that ?

Eye hope you don't start this.


Also does anyone think he'll only be out for a week or two? Still a ****** way to end the season as was hoping to see him continue to develop. Do you think we'll be bringing up any guys from the Moose now? I didn't like Petan at all earlier this year but would like to see him get another shot.

No way Connor will be joining us for last few games?

I really hope that he dodged the bullet on this one and that it has no effect on his very promising career.

Amazing that a partially deflected shot can break a visor like that.

I'm pretty sure Frans Nielsen doesn't want to be the guy who destroyed the future of Danish hockey.

I'm guessing they'll be extra cautious with him, since well losing is better than winning at this point.

Could cause him a chance to play on team Europe. Heard Satan (team GM) on hockeycentral @ noon and John Shannon was pushing for Elhers on the team and Stan said he's definitely a player they have their eyes on.

I can't see that being the case.

Since watching Malhotra get a puck to the eye I've always cringed at any injury in that area. He was never the same player after that, by all accounts his injury was much worse than Ehlers' last night but it's still scary as hell and could be career ending depending on the severity.
