Injury Report: Acciari battling neck injury.

[budzz]

It could just be a stiff neck that got worse due bad sleep.
Pretty sure if we are playing in the playoffs, he would be playing.

Wait I thought we traded the stiff neck to the Islanders for a pick?

[Isaac Nootin]

That's not good... I can't imagine it would be that bad if he played through it? Need him back for playoffs.

Whiplash/Neck issues is what Muzzin was dealing with as well, no?

Look how well that worked out.

 

[Enniskillen]

Clumsy Holl, can’t be physical with opponents, kills Acciari at first chance, what a player…

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Of all the f***ing things. This franchise is so f***ing cursed. How did Gio and Acciari even wind up tangled like that in the first place?

 

[TMLife17]

Holl, who could've ever predicted this?

Looks like Holl human erasered him.

Hopefully with some rest he will be back and ready for the playoff run.

Gotta love the NHL.

The refs are there to PROTECT the players!

So who the heck is Radim Zohorna???

6'6" 220lbs.

 

[crump]

6'6" 220lbs.

I think that’s his brother

 

[Gilmour1996]

I think that’s his brother

You're right! I hope it runs in the family though.

 

[Its not your fault]

The deadline curse continues

This times 1000

 

[Menzinger]

Meh. He should be fine for the playoffs, and the rest of the season doesn't matter, especially as far as he is concerned

 

[Havoc]

Opponents will run him hard in the playoffs knowing he's the only thing making our bottom 6 better than last season (assuming O'Reilly stacks top 6). If that neck doesn't heal in time, well, I don't need to elaborate. Bottom 6 woes continue.

That’s the long neck and stiff all over his body, lol

This guy has 7 points in 50+ playoff games. I don't see what difference it makes if he plays or not. Fits right in with the lifeless bottom 6 that never helps us. What is he going to do, be a energy player running guys all game? He wouldn't last more than 2 games doing that.

Our bottom 6 played good D last season. Soft, but they played good D. So Acciari provides only a slight upgrade by being defensively responsible.


There is only 1 way to guarantee the bottom 6 is better this season: Permanently make O'Reilly 3C. Make sure no matter what he's on the ice if any (all*) of the big 4 are resting.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Is anyone familiar with this sort of injury?

I'd assume he was put through a lot of testing and if they allowed him to play, it is probably a discomfort thing and him not being 100% more than an injury that would last the rest of the season.

Dealing with it myself right now. A cop blew a red light in November and t-boned me. I'm told it's grade 2 whiplash (whatever that means). I've been getting therapy ever since and even as I write this I'm basically in agony but there are good days and bad days and this is a bad day. I don't think this would prevent me from playing hockey though. It's not structural, it's a soft tissue problem. It doesn't really limit me in any way. Dunno if his is as bad or worse than mine but based on my experience, I doubt a little time off is going to make that much of a difference.

Why does your video look like the Zapruder film?

You know your bottom 6 sucks when a guy who put up 0 points in 19 playoff games as a 4th liner for the Panthers becomes a fan favorite in the blink of an eye.

Gotta sustain our playoff identity of being the team with the bottom 6 you can pull your goalie against and still get a shutout

Yikes. Get yourself a good lawyer and sue his insurance and yours.

lmao. Fair enough. You win this round

Her but a) If I can get better, it's enough for me. b) Our system is a bit of a joke. From what I've read you basically need to lose a limb in Ontario before you can sue for real money. Meh, money's the last thing on my mind. I'd just like to be pain-free. Many people have bigger problems, mine are chaff in the grand scheme. Was just trying to give insight into this injury. I don't think it ever goes away (I bet Tavares is still dealing with it) but it's also not debilitating and I honestly don't think it's physically limiting. I'm not exactly an elite athlete though.

 

[Enga Olly]

I hope this is a combination of precaution and a disinformation campaign for our opponent. If not, man do we get some shit luck when it comes to our deadline acquisitions

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Look how well that worked out.

Muzzin is facing a career threatening spine injury, which is actually more serious than whiplash

 

[Maple Leaf]

wow
This
cant believe it
