Just for comparison's sake: my brother fractured his orbital playing baseball. He didn't know it at the time. The day after the injury, he woke up without vision. He was without vision for two days before (and I thank God every day) it came back. He did not need to have surgery to stabilize the eye, and now, while at a heightened risk for developing cataracts, his vision is fine.

Until I hear the "all clear" I'm not going to jump to conclusions either way.

I'm sure they would've given staal x-rays, and not just assume he didn't have a fractured orbital. This isn't the kind of thing they gamble with.

Who's realkyper? Is it someone with credibility? If not then it's meaningless since anyone can say anything on twitter

Nick Kypreos.

I hope Staal is okay.

It looked painful. I was hoping it would just be a cut, he gets some stitches, and he'd be good to go next game. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening.

Overall, I just hope he bounces back. That looked like one tough shot to the face.

Nick Kypreos.

Is he credible at all?

Or just some random person spewing random statements

He's a SportsNet analyst. I would hope he wouldn't lie about something like this.

He is very credible.

He won a Stanley Cup in 1994...

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

We prob have to make a trade for a d man now for sure..

Mcdonagh/Girardi
Del Zotto/Stralman
Gilroy/Eminger

? yikes.

You'll find his name on the Stanley Cup under 1993-1994 New York Rangers. He isn't some random person.

Errr...former Ranger from the 1994 Cup-winning team? Sportsnet and TSN analyst? Just Google him.

I take it you missed the Hamerlik news...

 

[Riche16]

That's a very positive tweet.

Out indefinitely sounds bad, but "Not career threatening" sounds so incredible given what we saw last night

 

[NYR Sting]

LOL @ "is he credible?" This place is hilarious sometimes.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Yikes. That certainly doesn't scream "stitches and swelling".

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Yikes. That certainly doesn't scream "stitches and swelling".

Though non career threatening is obviously great to hear. Even if it is only "presumed".

 

[jniklast]

I'd say that news is about as good as one could've hoped for right now unless anybody expected him to pull a Girardi. His eye not being damaged long term is the most important thing.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I take it you missed the Hamerlik news...

just saw it..

 

[Hockey Team]

LOL @ "is he credible?" This place is hilarious sometimes.

I wasn't watching the team in 1994, so I don't know him.

Out indefinitely is a crapshoot. That just means they don't have enough info yet to put a timeline on it.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Yikes. That certainly doesn't scream "stitches and swelling".

Broken orbital bone maybe? I dunno. Doesn't sound good in general.

 

[nevesis]

Broken orbital bone maybe? I dunno. Doesn't sound good in general.

The only thing that scares me is this...

How long the injury lasts depends on the location and severity of the fracture. In most cases, swelling and discoloration begin to go away within 7 to 10 days after the injury, but fractured bones take much longer to heal. If surgery is necessary to repair the injured area, your doctor may delay the procedure for several weeks to allow swelling to go away.

Broken orbital bone maybe? I dunno. Doesn't sound good in general.

I couldn't imagine he wouldn't go to the hospital with a broken orbital bone. Hopefully we'll get an update soon and we can stop guessing.

I'm more disturbed by the idea of a Ranger fan not knowing who Nick Kypreos is. I feel very old.
