Player Discussion: Nikolaj Ehlers Part III

[truck]

Again I never said concussion......I said experiencing symptoms resembling concussion symptoms. It doesn't mean he had a concussion, only that they may have been unsure. The Jets would never play someone diagnosed with a concussion. This just sounds like being cautious to me just in case.

...or maybe he had the flu or diarrhea. Diarrhea is probably a mid-body injury though.

 

[truck]

When someone that plays professional contact sports says they are "feeling off", they have concussion symptoms.

No doubt that Ehlers has those symptoms, as those plays happened I was holding my breath that he would get up.

That isn't the only way to feel off. Players miss games with the flu all the time. Food poisoning. The runs. It doesn't have to be a concussion.

I should have mentioned feeling off, coupled with being in a non-contact jersey.

when in doubt, go with diarrhea...it's always diarrhea lol!!

 

[Ducky10]

It was a bloody malaise, let it go.

Letting it go is seeming pretty difficult to some, for some odd reason.

Don't hold your breath.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Love the last bit about Hendy

 

[MrBoJangelz71]

I knew it was a malaise..but didn't know that there was some blood...geez ...that sounds serious.

When bloods involved, it’s usually categorized as a 2nd degree malaise.

Can easily spread to lower body if not diagnosed early.

On the other hand, if diarrhea is Ehlers’ issue he’s having the opposite problem

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

The non contact jersey and the reference to malaise leads me to believe concussion. Just a guess honestly.

He wouldn't be on the ice yet if he had a concussion. You can't rush through a concussion protocol in a 1.5 days. I think the 2 things you can safely rule out is healthy scratch and concussion. Everything else is possible to varying degrees.

 

[ocdaddy]

Jets so deep they win a series with 2 of their 30 goal scorers not scoring and its no problem. (Ok..Ehlers finished with 29)

I think Nikky has a "leg injury" and heard rumors it's an ankle injury ? I would make sense Maurice not wanting to divulge the nature of the injury, as our next opponent may want to slow Nikky boy down, and slash at that swollen ankle--"makes sense"

I read a report he was in a non contact jersey today, but feeling good, and just flying out there --so whatever it is--I don't think it's serious.

You can bet at $ 6 mil per year, he's not a healthy scratch !!!

Not yet. $894,167 this season. Contract kicks in next season.

The runs remain a good reason for this.

 

[QuietContrarian]

Can't be ankle or leg, said directly to Danish news, it was upper body.

I was just leafing through the local World Hockey Championship magazine and run into this image that I thought to share. I didn't know Ehlers pops was a hockey hero around here.

Put a beard on this guy and it's exactly you-know-who.

First ever Dane to get drafted by a NHL team. Was drafted 188th overall by the Rangers in 1984 but never played a game.

 

[QuietContrarian]

I wonder if Ehlers will ever score a goal again.

He has played well imo, but no goals..

 

[GNP]

We gotta get Nikky boy rolling here-- I know he'll come thru for us. He doesn't seem to be himself these last couple of games.

When was the last time he scored a goal?

In the before fore time.

Confidence must be at an all time low.. didn't get to 30, and has been snakebitten ever since.. the longer it takes, the harder it will get...

 

[Kaako Kappo]

In the before fore time.

April 3rd

_______________________________________________________

According to above poster -Nik last scored on April 3rd--I don't know if that's right as it seems longer. I still think he hasn't looked himself out there lately, and starts to pot a couple goals--it will really bring up his confidence--just like Connor did last night in Game 5-vs the Preds--"he was on fire."

[mod] C'mon Nikky let's get "mobile"
