Man, just as this guy put together a very good year last year and comes off a fantastic start last game he gets ****ing smashed in the head by his own ****ing player..... Not only does it suck for us, but I feel bad for James. That's really tough luck when he really got his career back on track after the whiplash/concussion before.

Yeah but this was knee on head contact, it happens to every athlete. Football players get concussed all the time when they get a knee to the helmet.

Traded for Yakupov, now being surgically enhanced with Alberta oil money. Dreger is crying.
Reimer's helmet was specially designed to absorb impact and give easily. That's why if you noticed last year and this year his helmet would always fall off. This also prevents the neck from being pulled with the head on impact.
Should be okay.

He is wearing a new Bauer prototype that includes the same “Re-AKT” technology used in their player helmet, with an inner liner that allows the outside to twist with heavy side, or rotational impact, before taking the head and neck with it. Reimer hopes the new mask will prevent a repeat of last season, when he missed most of the year with a neck injury that included concussion symptoms because of a blow to the side of the head.

Not a comment on the injury. More of a comment on the Leafs shady classification of injuries.

After what he went through a few seasons ago, I'm just hoping this isn't another long term thing that affects James well being. Guy should take every precaution, hopefully it's just a stiff neck or something small.

And someone will have to go down to make it work?
Apparently the UofT goalie is on the ice today. Wonder how much he gets paid for that.

I think there's an exception for an emergency call up...I might be wrong but I think this would count as one.

Jeff O'Neill proving once again the dinosaur he is. Just called out Reimer for leaving the game last night but being at practice today. Has he not paid attention to the last five years or so of concussion research?

Thank god, hopefully this means the injury wasn't as bad as it looked.

Yeah I've stopped listening to TSN 1050 at lunch because of Jeff O'Neill. Can't say anything good and just comes off as a bitter former player.
