So, game's in about two and a half weeks. In order for Laine to be able to play in the ASG, he has to A: be symptom free for one week, then B: get through a series of increasingly strenuous returns to physical activity over several days.
Sounds like if Laine is already symptom free as of, say today, and he suffers no relapses, he could possibly make it to the ASG. But odds seem against him.
You know I don't know if I've watched an ASG, well, ever. But now that my kid is super into hockey I think he would get a kick out of watching it. I think that is really the target audience.

If he is symptom free, they start testing him. Testing could take a week. I believe his first test was yesterday, as he posted picks of taking a walk around the zoo.
There's some physical activity involved, light walking. And a lot going on as far as sights, colours, movement, noise and smell. Today he will likely be tested for something slightly more intense.
Could be back next week

You believe his first test was yesterday, based off of him walking around the zoo?

A pint of dark matter, please.
Laine is a 6'5, 210 lbs monster at 18 years old. McCabe will get his dues, by Laine at some point.
It probably won't be fighting, but he will absolutely lay that ****er out in the future.

"You still show some clear symptoms of a concussion, Patrik, so no testing for now. Go have a straddle out in the sunlight, go see a tiger or some other stripey animal."

Ya, McCabe has hurt a few guys and will get his. A hit is way more devastating than a fight. Hockey fights, most of the time are just swing and punching helmets. When you line a guy up way back, before he has the puck, like McCabe did, you can really clobber someone. Way more devastating.

I'm no doctor and have never had a concussion but going out to the zoo/practice/games certainly seems like a positive sign to me. It tells us that he probably doesn't have the really bad concussion symptoms like nausea, light sensitivity, memory loss or extreme headache. When I am nauseous I just wanna lay in bed, going to the zoo would be pretty far off my list of things to do. I understand that these symptoms can show up randomly but my guess (hope?) is that the worst he has right now is a minor headache.
Apparently Drew Stafford's injury earlier in the season was a concussion and the Jets kept him out for around a month

Never have forgiven Jamie Macoun myself.
We were push overs in those times. Drove me crazy what Mess would get away with.
Drew has alluded to the seriousness of his a few times without saying specifically that it was a concussion. Every indication is that Patrik's is very minor.

As I posted in the previous thread, the biggest question mark will be whether he suffers from any post concussion syndrome. Those symptoms often don't apoear for a week or more and are not related to severity. They can also last for quite some time.
Brain injuries suck.

WHY NOT US?
It wouldn't be Panarin, it would have to be another Jet otherwise there would be no Jets there. And it would also have to be a forward that replaces him. I bet it would be either Scheifele or Wheeler.

If we are lucky he might not even have one.
He had some symptons so they are taking it extra carefull because he's a future(potential) superstar.
But most likely this is just a dream.
Won't really know untill we see him play again.
Do all professional athletes need to take a trip to the zoo as part of the official concussion protocol?

Yes, if you can't tell a Zebra has stripes, you're still concussed. That and if you talk about how much you enjoyed seeing the Unicorns.

Luckily for Laine, primary contact was to his jaw. Got him right on the button. He was out and his body stiffened the way a boxer's would. Can sometimes result in a very very slight concussion, but not usually.
