MAF's agent, Alan Walsh, blasts NHL concussion spotter protocol

Gotta earn his commission.

 

[LadyStanley]

Lawless on SXM this morning. Indicates that MAF isn't yet practicing.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Hopefully I'm wrong, but I'm afraid this may drag on longer than any of us (especially Flower) would like. With his history of concussions, I imagine the docs will be especially cautious and rightfully so. Would hate to see a good guy such as MAF pay a horrible price down the road.

Subban should be back (fingers crossed) in another two weeks or so if all goes well I think. But we have no timetable on Dansk returning yet, do we?

Friday it sounds like.

Friday it sounds like.

He’s supposed to be a week off after he starts skating. I haven’t seen anything reports of him hitting the ice, but that could be due to having like one media member with the team for the whole trip.

That’s got to change.

 

[BattleBorn]

Flower is on the ice

I repeat: Flower is on the Ice!

Marc-Andre Fleury Returns To The Ice At City National Arena - SinBin.vegas

 

[Nevada Jones]

Great news!

Wonder if this was his first time back on the ice, as Gallant had said it would be four or five days then before returning to game action. Wouldn't be in time for Friday, but maybe the next short road trip.

Hopefully no setbacks for Flower.

 

[Soundgarden]

Huzzah!

 

[Firestorm]

And crickets since?

 

[BattleBorn]

And crickets since?

Was not on the ice today at practice. He's supposed to take 4-5 days after he hits the ice according to someone (Gallant?) a few weeks ago.

Just checking.

 

[BattleBorn]

Just checking.

Yeah, he skated at least once a week or so ago, I've got no clue what happened after that.

 

[KnishOfTheCrease]

A client of mine saw him at a party Saturday night. He told my client he didn’t know when he’d be back.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Yeah, he skated at least once a week or so ago, I've got no clue what happened after that.

I'm wondering if he had some sort of setback following that skate. Isn't there a concussion protocol players go through, step-by-step, and they progress to the next step only if they've completed the previous one without symptoms?

Or something like that.

This being Flower's third concussion maybe makes it harder for him to rid himself of all the symptoms, but I'm no doctor...nor do I play one on TV.

 

[Chimpradamus]

The most likely scenario is Fleury felt dizzy and/ or had headaches during or after the ice practice. That's a sign the concussion isn't healed. That would mean he's currently out indefinitely, there's no time table on a concussion. It can be a week or never. On the first or second concussion it's usually not a problem, but a third can be a problem.

 

[Nevada Jones]

 

[BattleBorn]

And, he's gone.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Oh, crap. Thought somethin' was brewin'.

 

[hangman005]

Come on Flowers... we miss you, get better soon.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Does anyone know why the VGKs practiced at T-Mobile today and not CN?

It was picture day, so they skated and got photographed in full uniform prior to practice.

I'm guessing we'll see some more marketing with players soon.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Got it, that makes sense...thanks!
