But giving our opinons, even if they're based off such information, is fine. Isn't that correct?

Opinions are always fine, but claiming to have sources or claiming that you are a legitimate source and then posting said information is not.

In my opinion Zucc does not feel well right now.

I think he's doing a bit better, but I think there's a really good chance we won't be seeing him the rest of this season.

I think there's a chance we may see him in the next round, or finals should we make it that far.

I believe they just may be keeping out of this round for precaution reasons, even if he COULD go.

I think it's down to two scenarios: Either he has a concussion and a broken bone, like the jaw or something like that. If it's the skull they'd go public with it because he'd miss the rest of the season for sure. I think at least. Or, it's a more serious concussion/bleeding that is hard to predict what's really going on with and how fast he will recover. The later is more scary since its not as mechanical as a broken bone.

Would be suprised if it's just a normal concussion since they declared that he won't return against Washington. And we have at least one vetted source that is telling us that it's somewhat serious (BBK).

I'm confident enough to put money down on it; that you ain't seeing him any time in the remotely immediate future. Chances are you're not quite that confident in your position

Hopefully it is not hemorrhaging because that is very serious inside the skull. A fracture on top of a concussion could be likely, and that's certainly a no go for the rest of the playoffs.

Either way this team needs to find a way without one of its best offensive threats for the foreseeable future.

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.

I wouldn't worry about a fracture.

But we'll definitely have to figure out how to make up for his heart, passion and puck possession ability etc. But this team has persevered all season. So I'm confident they will here too.

Depends on how much...

Either way, let's just hope he's fully healthy and can play hockey again, even if he misses the rest of the playoffs. That's more important than anything.

I'm good with any amount you'll throw out there lol.

But wholeheartedly agreed in relation to the latter sentiment.

 

[Placid]

May I ask who BBK is though? Is it someone who's identity is known? I have no idea, like if for regular posters here it's common knowledge etc.

I have no idea (just like i have no idea who you are, etc). If he is vetted though, the admins knows who he is, that is what matters

This is his last post on the matter

Pfft, I know far more information than that

But yes, they must know who he is. Just didn't know if it was common knowledge or not is all. Thanks!

Zuccarello didn't make the trip to Washington this afternoon. This should tell you everything you need to know.

 

[sfox7076]

I have to tell you, but if it was a brain hemorrhage, he would still be in the hospital (OK, maybe not, but he would have been there more than over night). I won't speculate about what it might be, but I think people should all calm down. If there was no chance he would return before the playoffs ended, I am pretty sure either Zucc or the team would announce what he had.

It doesn't say much more than he is better off not traveling with the team for 3-4 days.

This my source says this and my source says that is kind of insulting to Zooks. I have had multiple concussions. Odds are even his own doctors did not have a firm prognosis or timetable a day or two after the game yet we had arm chair doctors on this board claiming all sorts of things according to their nameless sources.

I'm hoping for the best for him as a person first and foremost.

How do you know he wasn't? All you know is that he was there for at least one night. Not only one night. The only accurate thing you said above was the "Maybe Not" part.

I won't speculate about what it might be, but I think people should all calm down.

I don't exactly see a bunch of people hyped up or anything. Where are they exactly? People are simply assessing based on what they know. And some know more than others (clearly).

If there was no chance he would return before the playoffs ended, I am pretty sure either Zucc or the team would announce what he had.

Lol yeah, so doesn't work that way. Sorry. Not to mention the end of the playoffs is still pretty far away. I wouldn't think anyone could say 'definite' at this point, only highly unlikely at best, since you never really know. But I don't recall reading anything from anyone implying a sense of 'definite' anyway.

We're all hoping the same.

And no, none of it has been insulting to Zucc at all. Mostly, it's been out of respect and care.

And all I'll say is, that in the end if those 'armchair doctors' were 100% right, I would hope you would give them their due; which really I think simply means withdrawing your critique.

In addition to infractions and thread bans being issued immediately to anyone who posts unverified information, this is a good time to remind everyone to report but not reply.

What does this tell us aside from he's not playing game 3-4? They don't fly to Washington, they take the train, so it's not like we can even look at that as anything.

 

[IAMREALITY]

Even knowing he's not playing game 3 or 4, do you not think he'd want to be with the team if he was otherwise capable? Especially if it's only a short train ride?

 

[nevesis]

They flew to Washington today, like they fly most everywhere else. On their personal Boeing 737 out of Westchester County Airport.

If Zuccarello wasn't injured, or just slightly injured, he would be around the team, at MSG for home games and traveling with them.

Him not traveling by plane or being anywhere else but home and resting, suggests his injury needs time to heal and any of the things mentioned above would be detrimental to him getting better.

Out indefinitely means something significant.

I personally do not believe in guessing about a players brain injury. There are only a handful of possibilities so no I will not be giving any due to any poster guessing about a person's brain injury. Even a broken clock is right twice a day and this situation has much less possibilities. If a poster has personally spoken with Zooks or Zooks doctor than that person can say so. Speculation about a trade rumor or contract is one thing. Speculating about a brain injury is totally different.
