F word.

 

[Puhis]

Well, ****.

 

[melinko]

He has got to stop trying to be physical.

Hell he plays more physical than Koivu does.

 

[Harvest]

That is word we should never use before we are 100% sure.

 

[MuckOG]

I hope they try Haula in that center spot and not Coyle.

 

[Gaps]

It's very concerning if he gets concussed that easily, and I think he needs to be shut down for the rest of the season if he's got one again. Too many head injuries this season to take the risk of putting him back out there.

Loui Eriksson.

 

[Gaps]

Loui Eriksson.

Yes, I'm aware he's had 2 concussions this season. However, he's significantly older than Granlund and IIRC, he had no history of head injuries until this season. Granlund's not even in his prime and has already more than his fair share of head injuries.

 

[JudgeJimmie]

I really hope it's just a neck/maybe a swelled eye keeping him out and not a C word..

I hope they try Haula in that center spot and not Coyle.

I bet Yeolo happens and we get
Parise - Koivu - Pomms
Moulson - Coyle - Heatley
Cooke - Brodz - Fontaine
McCormik - Haula - SV

But I agree I would like to see Haula tried in the 2nd line center spot, and only if he is overwhelmed move Coyle there. Good thing is we have options.. I do wonder if Yeo will try and stick Heatley in the Bottom 6 again though?
Parise - Koivu - Coyle
Moulson - Haula - Pomms
Cooke - Brodz - Fontaine
McCormick - Dowel - SV

I feel like my puppy got kicked and christmas died.

Pretty pathetic that he would get a concussion that easily. Hello Bouchard 2.0, now with an even shorter career.

Not really pathetic, it's what head injuries are. It didn't take much to knock Crosby back to the bench either.

We can't catch a break. This really sucks. This many head injuries this young can't bode well. I'd rather get an upper tier player who has a long career.. But as we all know, we can't have nice things.

We don't know what this injury is yet...the OP made a guess in the title, nothing is confirmed. A little early to be that gloom and doom. Many think it could be neck related ie whiplash.

 

[Avder]

And I bet this means the ****ing all star will be put back in the lineup too.

I'd rather play a 7th D on the 4th line than have Heater in there.

Sorry. Minnesota sports fan. Doom and gloom is in my nature.

 

[teddy83]

This is kinda wild suggestion but maybe he should try playing with a longer stick? He's stance would be a little better. Lindros played with a short stick and that somewhat did him in.

 

[TaLoN]

His stick had nothing to do with this injury. He was the one doing the hitting, and fell forward into the hit by mistake.

Granlund is out tonight per Russo, speculation is concussion.

speculation by you, or by russo or speaking generally?

 

[teddy83]

I know, but generally he would be better suited with better stance, he skates in a very low position and he's head is way ahead rest of his body.

 

[TaLoN]

Most players who generate any speed in their game do. Parise does too. Walz always did...Gaborik does, Haula does, Zucker does etc.

Sorry, his position is from function...it's required.

 

[Jarick]

Common sense and Russo inference:

He was walking slowly and definitely had a disappointed look on his face when talking to teammate Mikko Koivu.

No doubt Yeo gives the old day-to-day line with Granlund, but we'll try to find out more after today's 1:30 p.m. practice in Chicago. Obviously, if it's a concussion, there's just no way to accurately give a timetable, so it would be truthfully day-to-day. These head injuries with Granlund are becoming a true concern. Remember, he came to the NHL with a history of them.

 

[Harvest]

If that's the case let's hope it's not a bad one.

Yeo very vague on Granlund, says day to day until he sees #mnwild doctors
