Injury Report: Injured Players Thread (3/6: Staal Out Indefinitely; Not Career Threatening)

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Take the season off if he has too. He will be missed. Hope he returns and has a quick recovery.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

This thread sums up what's wrong with HF, people arguing over being right or wrong and not just showing concern for the player. Get real.

Glad he feels a little better and hope he gets back soon, as soon as he came in his impact was felt.

 

[The Sweetness]

Get better soon Darroll!

 

[Made Dan]

Bummer. Hope he feels alright and can be back out there for the playoffs.

 

[Kershaw]

More Stu Bickel.

 

[Hire Sather]

Its almost unreal how perfect he is for his role on the team.

Hopefully its not too long, please spare us this goon Manchister? playing and just put Kreider on the 4th line I can't take useless goons..

Goon Brandon Mashinter has 1 less point in 20 less games than stud Chris Kreider in the AHL.

I don't concern myself too much with Kreider's AHL numbers but yeah I did just read that Mashinter has 5 goals and 11 points.. pretty shocked about that but I mean he is known as a fighter mainly, right?

If so, please spare us the sideshow **** and give me someone who can play a regular shift. Ferriero would work too.

Very nice to hear that he's doing alright considering the concussion. That looked potentially scary.

From what I understand he can take a shift and fight. They aren't mutually exclusive skills.

Mashinter was thought of as a Ryan Clowe-like player when he was younger. Will he provide a ton of offense? Probably not. But can he be a Mike Rupp? Absolutely. Rupp was a 20 point grinder with size and strength who threw his weight around. I think that's the hope for Mashinter.

He is more than just a fighter.

 

[Calad]

He was heralded as the replacement to Ryan Clowe 2 years ago, hes got above average hands. His play has dropped off since then, though, which is why he was moved

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Hope for a speedy recovery. I liked him here, he fit in well and played hard.

Good to hear. Don't mind seeing him get a shot then.

 

[ImIdaho]

Praying it's not a severe concussion. Hopefully, he doesn't get rushed back into the line-up.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Praying that as well. But if there is any indication about if he will be rushed/not rushed, the organization seems to value the health of their players very highly. I would think they maintain this standard with Powe.

 

[darko]

Hope for a quick recovery.

 

[Carl Hagelins Flow]

If its a concussion, my guess is that it probably isn't a serious one. The helmet stayed on, and I think Powe was more dazed than anything else.

Concussions "come in all shapes and sizes" and affect everyone differently. Helmet or no helmet, the only thing that determines a mild from a severe concussion are the symptoms. You can still be knocked unconscious (indicative of a moderate to severe concussion) with a helmet on.

I knew he was concussed the moment the camera zoomed in on him and Jim Ramsay -- you can tell he was "out of it" and the fact he needed help off the ice was all but confirmatory. He might be fine in a couple of weeks or he might have post-concussion syndrome that side-lines him a lot longer like it did Crosby and Staal -- everyone's brain reacts (and heals) differently.

Hope he gets well soon, concussions are one of the worst injuries especially in sports.

 

[Zippy316]

Ouch.

That injury did not look good. Unfortunate way for your season to end, but I think this was kind of expected when you saw him afterwards and could clearly see he landed on his head.

 

[KreiMeARiver*]

modern day concussion=see you next season

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Hope he gets well soon. Guy is a fantastic bottom six player and it was great watching him play. Get well, Darroll.

Agreed. He brought energy to a lineup that sorely needed it. Hope he can come back sooner rather than later.

 

[Radek27]

I never like to see anyone get hurt and I hope he gets better soon BUT....

What is with this "you will be missed" stuff? The guy played a very short amount of games and had very little impact. I won't be missing him, I will be forgetting he is even on the team.

Only in the NHL.

Not saying its a bad thing but in the NFL you see guys play the next week.. its crazy how they don't care about their players.

He does a lot of little things that make him a perfect fit here. Good on the forecheck, good on the boards, excellent on the PK, blocks shots. Fits our system to a T. Hope he gets back this season.

I sat here shocked his first game, its incredible how much more useful he is than Rupp, fantastic deal by Slats yet again.

Not the massive dynamic overhaul of the 4th line after he replaced Rupp. He will certainly be missed.

Agreed. NFL players seem to miss minimal if any time with concussions. I don't get it.
