Welp, guess the rumors might be true and this is a HUGE loss.

 

[Guyute]

that's a real bummer. what were the rumors?

 

[haveandare]

First and foremost, I'm hoping he's okay long term. Hockey takes a backseat sometimes.

 

[Pistachio]

Weren't some of the rumors claiming career ending injury?
I mean, all things considered, a concussion is probably the best possible outcome from a puck to the side of the head.

But if it's mild, maybe he'll be back for the conference final or even the cup final if we get there without him.

Concussions can be career ending ie Sauer, now we don't know how bad the injury actually is it is an upper body injury...

No it was just one comment on this forum that mentioned the worst possible scenario.

But I guess this means he is done for the season?

Noooo. Please get well soon Zuccarello. We are going to really really miss him. Hope he waits till he's 100% to return, hopefully a month or so down the road, we are still in and he returns.

Easily if it is as bad as some were "speculating."

Horrible, awful, terrible, ****

Nah not at all though that could be the case.

We don't know with concussions. It could be a week, it could be 2 months.

So, I guess the question now is how the line up looks...Does Hayes move to wing with Shep taking 4C? Or does Shep get a shot with Brass & Nash? Fast moves up with Brass & Nash and Shep goes to W with Moore and Glass?

 

[TheTakedown]

****...

looks like we'll be seeing a lot of Sheppard...

 

[Raspewtin]

Sheppard and Glass in the line up lol ****ing kill me

Going to assume Fast moves up. Shepp-Moore-Glass

 

[NYR94]

Oh man, Zuc.

Another dose of adversity for the Rangers to overcome.

 

[TheTakedown]

I would try just slipping Sheppard on the Brass line and leaving the rest of the lienup intact

Sheppard in the lineup isn't a bad thing IMO.

 

[94wasagoodyear]

Well...at least it looks like Klien will be back??

 

[Pistachio]

At least he didn't pull a Crosby who got a concussion and two days later played a game, and got ANOTHER concussion, and was out for a year.

 

[Jim Morrison]

We just got a lot worse. Get well soon, Mats.

I want to see Oscar Lindberg up.

 

[Raspewtin]

Sheppard in the lineup isn't a bad thing IMO.

It is when we already have Glass.

Wasn't it Miller that moved up when Zucc got hurt ? (or do i remember that wrong ? Granted.. it was a traumatic moment, my mind shut down to protect my heart).

 

[JohnC]

This blows a lot

Have we seen JT with Nash yet? Could be an interesting idea...

Nash-Brass-JT
Kreider-Stepan-MSL
Hagelin-Hayes-Fast
Glass-Moore-Shep

Hopefully he gets better soon

 

[Dalagaze]

Good thing he left the game right away then. Hopefully he's been doing nothing but taking it easy since then.
