Tropp boarded him in the third. He left the game. Any news?

You can see Boro saying "I'm fine". Hopefully he stayed out because stiffness and precaution.

I cant read lips.

I don't think Tropp had any intention other than being aggressive. I think Boro made a mental mistake by turning at the last minute. His face going into the boards was half Tropp, half Boro not staying strong on his feet. I wish the best for him but I think he realizes he's part to blame on this.

Agreed.

Hope he is fine. Probably our most solid LD.

 

[Healfezza]

Even if he said he was fine, he did get KOed and was slow getting back to reality. Definitely going to have to look at the possibility of a concussion.

Also I agree that Tropp was playing into Boro's shoulder but at the last minute Boro pivoted and turned his back... At that point Tropp really didn't have a chance to stop.

Why is no one talking about this hit? Tropp not only hit his number (although Boro did turn), it was a very bad hit, boarding, potentially charging.

Make a thread on the main board and see what happens if you want entertainment. I think most of us understand that Boro turned at the last moment which made the hit a lot worse.

being evaluated. precautionary

The hit deserved a minor penalty for boarding and that's it. Boro turned and made himself vulnerable. Each player needs to be more accountable for their own safety in this league.

Quantum... whether he turned or not, Tropp needs to let up a little bit. I have watched that hit a few times and whether or not Boro turns Tropp would have put him into the boards, which is either boarding or charging and depending on the situation both warrant 5.

Ya he could always pull a Ceci and publicly shame himself for turning his back...

 

[KwanTuM]

Every time I see a hit like that I get worried that someone is going to get paralyzed.

 

[LuckyPierre]

Looked like a combination of boarding and charging at first glance.

 

[StefanW]

I think the 5 minute penalty was perfect, and I don't expect a suspension or anything.

Hopefully Borocop is ok and ready to go against Chicago in a couple of days.

 

[coladin]

Tough for his dad to see that...he was having quite the game up to that point.

 

[Caeldan]

Definitely a legit boarding call. Don't see anything coming more from it than the five and a game.

CBJ radio crew fully expected it to be such and it wasn't as bad as I thought they described it as once I saw it

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Boro turned at the last second to, it seems, play the puck

Courageous move but very dangerous

 

[philb613]

he's ok fyi was held out more for precaution as they take head/neck injuries super seriously. he also may be held out a game or two due to stiffness of his neck and the fact we're carrying an extra d just to give him a few days to ensure he's 100% he was not concussed

 

[The King of Town]

Given what had transpired in the game up to that point, the apparent injury, and the appearance of a charge, 5 minutes was the appropriate call.

That should be the end of it, no suspension.

If they could find a way to even the boards and the glass on the playing surface side there wouldn't be a wooden ledge for guys to hit their chin on. Barring that that they could put a narrow pad on the edge where the two pieces meet. That could prevent cuts and minimize facial injuries.

He's an Ottawa boy, my guess is he's a buddy of Mark's.

 

[philb613]

yeah he's a friend

 

[Karl Eriksson]

yeah he's a friend

Tell him get well soon from us. He was, except for the ill-advised fight in the first, one of our best.

I'm okay with 5 and game being called by the letter of the law, as Boro was injured (I have issues with that rule on its own). But definitely no suspension or anything.
