It is not about the severe injury. It just not recommended to fly with this type of a condition. Changes in pressure ..etc.

Said that the injury was actually sustained from him snapping his neck back... called it a blood vessel "sprain"
Hadn't heard that yet. Interesting.

Exactly! Talbot has been efficient enough to help the team win. We should just sit back and enjoy the fact that we are winning despite our best player being injured.

Great news to wake up to! Gives him some regular season time to get himself in playoff form.
hopefully that's true and not just something he threw out there to answer a question on a talk show

Knowing how great of a competitor Hank is, it really worries me that he will play without getting 100% healthy for this type of an injury. This may impact his health and also impact a great year that Rangers are having now. So a side from possibly not being 100% healthy, you also need to get back into the form. As much as I want Hank back, I think the best thing for him and the team, if he comes back the next season nice and strong. Do any of you agree with such arguments?
I don't think the team will let him back on the ice unless he's 100% safe and ready to play. I don't think this is a case where it's as easy to fake your way back into the lineup and with the possibility of blood clots as a complication, I have to imagine he's smart enough not to push things

RIP, Jimmy.
That is great but concerning. I was listening to the NHL channel on sirius during my drive back to Atlanta. The show "power play" or whatever its called had Kenny Albert on as a guest to talk about the Rangers. Kenny made the comment that Lundqvist was still a couple of weeks away. Obviously Hank knows himself better than Kenny does but as another poster said, is Hank rushing to come back? Should he truly take an extra week or two and he is just pushing to be back sooner?

I'm not sure how long you followed the team. But from what I heard over the years is that Hank played through a lot of pain, especially after the first Olympics. He even played with constant headaches..etc. So I don't think the team can stop him from playing if he wants to play.
Knowing Hank he is definitely pushing to come back sooner. I just hope he's not rushing back too soon that it is putting himself in jeopardy of further complications.
He mentioned that he's being constantly looked at by doctors, and will ONLY return once he's cleared for contact. I am sure that happens in a few days, and he's back by next week.
They would not mess around with this type of injury. It's healing well, he will be back soon.

Good to hear. Hank is the franchise, they won't be clearing him to return until he's 100% ready. Hopefully that's in a week, but if it's two or three so be it.

This. His current time table will have him back in a couple of weeks and he will likely need a few games to shake off the rust and get back into shape for the playoff run.

He was talking about his masks, unless it was a bit of a slip of the tongue by him and he was saying both the masks would arrive in NY in a week and he'd return.
