So Tavares has a knee injury along with being concussed, I wonder if the injury happen when he tried to get up and fell back awkwardly.

I imagine it likely came from the original contact that occurred on the knee/thigh.

Knee bone is connected to the leg bone,
leg bone is connected to the head bone.

I thought the same. I was flabbergasted that the trainers allowed Tavares to try to get up, and then fall backwards again. The initial emergency response should be to always keep immobile and stabilize the cervical spine. I would bet the trainers got an earful from the team doctors for their initial response.

I said the exact thing to a couple of family members when they called, they are Leaf fans, what was your trainer trying to do the guy took a heavy wallop to the neck area and looked out cold and your trying to get him up

I interpreted the other poster as asking about the origins of the knee injury. I think it would be fair to guess that the concussion also came from getting kneed to the face rather than an awkward fall afterward.

Vasilevskiy is Hellebuycking them.

Bob has 9 saves in 14 shots!!!

5 more yers at 10m for him!!!

Vasilevskiy is Hellebuycking them.

Being outshot 2 to 1 and the Bolts are leading after 2 he sure is, they are the 2 best goalies in the league

I think all hockey fans are glad to see that.
Head injuries are the worst.
Also hoping for a full recovery.

Very good to hear that he had no neck or spine injuries either. That was my major concern.

 

[surixon]

I feel bad for Florida, they have played real.well this series but they have been getting horrible goaltending.

Yup, let's hope he can recover completely...right after the Leafs are knocked out of the post-season.......................................................................................................again.

 

[bustamente]

Florida decides if you can't win the game start being dirty, so now we get to the silliness of the game

Seriously. How hard is it for TSN/SN to play some hockey highlights?

They show the Jets/Oilers, Tavares watch, then jump to basketball/soccer/etc. As far as I know, there were at least 2-3 more NHL games last night from which I want to see highlights!

What does TSN have to do with it? That was a 100% SN broadcast. That's why I skipped over 100% of the between periods commentary.

I thought it looked like some kind of hyper-extension in the neck. Glad it was not.

What about the condensed highlights from nhl.com. I have the app and have been using that for games.

Yea, definitely agree immobilizing is the first option. I have seen a lot of experts say that it isn't easy to do when you are dealing with a fit, semi-conscious athlete, whos first instinct is to stand up. Even if you restrain them they say more injuries can result because that can make them fight back more. Dealing with all that while slipping on ice does not seem like a fun scenario.

 

[Afterburner]

That’s why you put Kotka in the lineup

Yeah the Panthers played very well, bobrovsky not so well (though there were some tough ones)

I see that interference is being allowed again, muzzin came way out of his lane to slow the forecheck

 

[bustamente]

That was a stupid challenge, no way that was going to be overturned

 

[cbcwpg]

Montreal with the worst goaltender interference challenge ever. Price knew when the puck went in it was a good goal. If anyone thinks there is interference it’s the goalie, and Price didn’t say boo.

the reason it took so long to review was because the refs were wondering what they hell they were looking for.

maybe Montreal wanted a long time out…

 

[JetsFan815]

Dumbest coach's challenge by the Habs in the Habs-Leafs game. Leaf homer refs don't need any help to give the Leafs more PPs.

Leafs playing like they are going to get all the calls tonight and so far they have
