Never been so sad after a game before. Win or loss.

The fact that he was taken to hospital almost immediately after it happened isn't great news. If it were a cut to the cheekbone or eyebrow, they more than likely would have stitched him up in the locker room, so we're probably looking at an actual injury to the eyeball itself.
Total speculation of course, I hope I'm wrong.

When I got home I slo mo'd the play on the post game. Smack dab hit to the right eye, pain so intense he grabbed the back of his head first. Can only hope that somehow there is no serious damage to the eye. I feel terrible for Grabner and his family at this time.

Don’t Fail the Plan...
Watching his reaction to the injury was terrifying.
Hoping for the best Grabs.

Does anyone have a link where it was mentioned Grabner was taken to the hospital? Cant find anything about it on twitter.

Hope he gets well soon.
And also that his injury has no long lasting effects on his health.
on another note, thats why i would always wear a helmet with visor and cage, even though some might say it's not manly, simply because of protection and my braces where expensive and i don't want new ones or new teeth.
i cannot understand why so few players in the NHL and other leagues wear those.

Watching him kick his feet was terrifying. Crossing my fingers that he didn't get the full Berard here.
Visor with cage is extremely annoying to play with. Think all kids can't wait to get rid of it. But a visor is definitely a must and would have deflected this swipe.
It really does look as if Grabner's eye took a hit. Wishing all the best for Grabner.

Take it for what its worth. I believe em. I would imagine they got that from the horses mouth, since, I would assume the whole Coyotes guard were probably all waiting on an update.
It sounds not good.
Season over?.
a nerv could be cut , than its over, to dangerous.
But we didn't now so we have to wait.
But, like i read before , no news are bad news.

Craig posted a pic of Grabner's eye.

Trip to the hospital was more than likely a precautionary move, in case there was orbital bone or retinal damage (remember Joe Vitale).
Looked to me like toe of the stick went right under the visor and into the eye. It was a freak accident for sure.
