ugh,
well look at it this way. Get the injuries out of the way now, then come playoff time, everyone will be healthy and ready to kick arse
we need to actually make the playoffs first and the way things are going even though were winning so are all the other teams around us, so getting in is going to be tough.

Just hoping it's not a concussion. I mean, concussion-like symptoms could indicate something milder, right?
...Right?
"Spurgeon is home seeing his family today, but it's believed he sustained concussion-like symptoms after taking a Mark Giordano shot to the chin last night. Spurgeon didn't see the puck coming until it was like four feet away, and by then, it was too late."
I think he'll be back quicker than expected. I'd be more concerned if Russo said the Wild was shutting him down for several weeks.
It generally takes a few days before they know if they need to shut someone down for a while.
Concussion symptoms can be present in severe fashion right off the bat too. I'll take the silver lining any day of the week.
Yes, but rarely do they know that symptoms are persistent until a few days pass. I've never seen them say a day later "so and so will be shut down for a few weeks", that always comes like 3-4 days later... unless it was something extremely severe like Ballard had, where we all knew his career was basically over the moment it happened.

IMO you're searching for a silver lining for wont of one, not because one was provided.
Well that and his history certainly played a role too. I'll tell you what I have seen, teams taking every precaution necessary when the head is involved in potential trauma.
A wrist shot to the head is much different in force compared to an elbow. Taking one game off this far, and him seeing his family in the meantime, gives me hope this isn't too serious.
You said yourself, you'll take the silver lining every day of the week... thus you are searching for one to cling to is all.Won't of one?
Yet I see that same scenario, and say I've seen this before many times with this team, and often times that scenario works out to said playing missing a month of hockey.
That's why I'm not calling this a silver lining, but calling this a wait and see period, as they will know more in 3 days than they do now.
Spurgeon still out :/..
I was hoping this would be a 1 or 2 game thing at most.. Hopefully since it's Edmonton, they are just keeping him out for precautions and he's feeling better..
Jared Spurgeon is already on injured reserve with a concussion, although coach Mike Yeo has said he is doing better.
