Jarret Stoll’s condition is improved, but he’s still unlikely to play in series
Posted on May 17, 2013 by Elliott Teaford
Center Jarret Stoll continues to suffer from concussion symptoms and is mostly likely out for the rest of the Kings’ second-round playoff series. He was told to stay at home and rest rather than attend the Kings’ 4-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks in Game 2 on Thursday night. He won’t travel with the team to San Jose for Game 3 on Saturday. Stoll was injured by Raffi Torres’ shoulder-to-head check in Game 2. Torres was suspended by the NHL for the rest of the series.

So I guess this isn't surprising to any of us but a little bit of good news that his condition is "improved." No source on the story.

basically just confirmed what we all already assumed. Im glad that it doesnt sound to severe but he needs to really take his time and not rush back.

Get well soon Stollie

Will he be back by Christmas?

Hopefully, Allison and Deader should be back by then too so we'll finally be healthy.

Glad to hear his injury wasn't to severe. It is a real shame he is going to miss the rest of the series with San Jose. Definitely going to miss his PK and face off Talent. Get well soon!!

Post concussion syndrome is very severe. And can take months to get over. It's not life threatening but many players that have had concussion problems don't come back from it. I just hope he isn't one.

Apparently he participated in a team meeting yesterday morning but did not skate.

Then he was told to go home and rest and not attend the Kings' game last night.

So we'll just have to wait and see.

Hopefully the injury is being overstated so when he comes back early it will give the team a jump!

Unfortunately my title is not quite accurate, as I jumped the gun a bit, the story is saying "likely" out, not "definitely" out.

My apologies.

Just being there at the meeting, even without skating, is a positive sign in terms of concussions. The fact that a report has been released saying that he has "improved" is huge, given the way that concussions can affect people.

I mean, how many times do guys get concussions and then simply disappear with no news? I'm thrilled we're hearing anything at all.

Colin Fraser in his interview at Kings Live said he looked "fine" then again, he's not a doctor.

 

[Andrew Knoll]

Hardly a surprise. I am sure Stoll is rearing to go, I hope the doctors do the right thing and take a long view to things. Especially with a 2-0 lead, think about the later round or even beyond that. It's not the kind of thing you can shoot up and work around, he should take his time.
