Injury Report: Jason Pominville (5/7/13 Update: He's Back!)

[J22*]

It's pretty much impossible to take a hit like that and not show concussion symptoms. It all depends on how he feels tomorrow and going forward.

 

[Beegoalie]

Why is it that a player who has only missed 9 games in his last 7 seasons has to have this happen to him once he gets traded to us? TELL ME DAMMIT!!!

I jinxed us all when I was trying to tell everyone about how durable he is in the trade thread..I guess Jarick and stonedkoala get their wish now. Not sure how were gonna win if he's out long term.

Hopefully he's just out these last two games and back by playoffs but I doubt it. Seemed bad

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

Even if it's not a concussion, I still give him the last two games off. Don't think we'll need him to beat Eddy anyway.

Obviously agree..I don't think it will be that short term though..these C words are always the worst case scenario it seems..bye bye Pommer for the season.

DAMNIT!

DAMNIT!

No concussion is the same as another concussion. I also remember when everyone wrote Zucker off after the Perry hit.

We won't know anything til the end of the week.

I would imagine age can factor into recovery time, which isn't good for Pommer.

We’ll see if he gets away this one. He didn’t brace himself. He swung his elbow sneakily into Pominville’s face, and even though Yeo didn’t provide a report postgame with the dreaded “C” word, it sure looked like it. Frankly, and maybe one reason why Yeo was restrained after the game, the Wild probably doesn’t want L.A.’s captain suspended. The Kings play in Detroit on Wednesday.

Pominville injured

 

[kegstandbyme]

God will come back one day.

 

[OpRedDawn*]

Meh, we just have to accept that our guys get cheap shotted all the time. Can't respond or lay a hit like that though, otherwise we'll be dirty. Love the double standards

 

[SwimToTheMoon]

It doesnt matter to me that suspending Brown would hurt the Wild (LA plays Detroit tomorrow) he should be gone for a while.

 

[WILDTATE10]

Pommer was playing so good too. He brought life to Bouchard and Brodziak. He made that a solid line

Please be alright Pommer

 

[Giles Ferrell]

If you watched how he skated off, it did not look good. Hate to say it, but he will be out a while.

How do 4 officials miss that call? Terrible shot to the head/

 

[Gaps]

Ugly hit. Hopefully Pominville doesn't have the "C" word, but I'm not holding my breath on it. If he has it, he shouldn't rush back, there are bigger things in life than hockey (even if it's the NHL playoffs).

Da fuq is this ****? Really Bee? You're calling Jarick and me out because we didn't like the trade? We never in a million years want the Wild to lose, especially like this. That's low. Way beyond low in fact. Where have I ever said I wanted the Wild to lose? This is your problem. Most of you guys. You guys can't seem to differentiate situations. It's all or nothing. Win or lose. Black or white. The world isn't gray. It's either black or white. There is no in between and if there is, it's like you can't comprehend it at all and so you start throwing out random arguments. Newsflash, it doesn't work that way. Our concern is how much we gave up. It's not that Pom isn't a good player. It's not that Pom can't deliver (which he has been). It's about the long term health of the organization, the goals and progression this team makes.

Same with this hit. Was it dirty? Oh God yes. Throwing an elbow out like that is low and disgusting. But the problem I have is, it doesn't even seem like Pom was bracing himself for a hit (actually see the brace right at the end there...why is he going in low?) or even showing any signs that he is in fact RUNNING into the BACK of Brown. Brown took the opportunity to deliver a dirty blow to a vulnerable player, who put himself in that position. Pom can't be doing that sort of thing and think he can get away with it.

 

[DeuceMN]

I really hope he isn't hurt too bad, and makes a full, quick recovery.

I was also hoping someone would make Brown pay for what he did... That was one of the dirtiest hits I've seen all year, and that ****er deserves an old style ass kicking for it.

****ing Shanascam better do something about that hit - I know it's not in our best interest and I don't care. Dirty bs like that needs a punishment.

Pomi wasn't embracing himself for a hit because he didn't think he'd get hit. He was going in low to poke the puck away from Brown.

 

[Blakkmantis]

Brown can only get by with this sort of crap so long, sooner or later this stuff is going to catch up with him. I bet it starts with his hit on Pommer.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

I want to see Perry and Brown manage to do a double cheap-shot KO on each other.

 

[Jarick]

Wasn't my wish he got injured, just that we didn't make the trade.

Scary to see him get knocked out like that. He has a concussion history right? Ugh.

Considering his size and style of play, I cringe any time he is near the boards. Puts himself in a lot of vulnerable spots.

Well I know he's had one, in the 2010-2011 season.

 

[nickschultzfan]

If you think that isn't a concussion it's because you know nothing about concussions.

100% one.

Question now is how long he is out and whether he is really good enough to go when he comes back. God I want him back for the playoffs but I would hate to see him rushed back.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

#NHL does consider elbow thrown by #Kings Captain Brown on #Wild Pominville as suspension worthy. A hearing is expected as early as today

[Avder]

If he does get a hearing, and he is getting suspended, I want it to be an in-person hearing.

 

[Jacob582]

Sabres fan here.

How could the refs not call a penalty?

Hope Brown gets suspended and miss playoff games.

 

[nickschultzfan]

Brown is a serial elbower. I don't think he head hunts, but he leads every check with his elbow. Sometimes it hits the person's body, sometimes the head. But that's his point of contact.
