Injury Report: Joffrey Lupul: Hes baaaaaaaaaack!

[Oiffub]

Takes a hit to the head by Jay Rosehill, hope he's alright.

edit 8:13pm

David Shoalts ‏@dshoalts 38s
Lupul won't be back. "Upper-body injury". Gee, you think, Leafies?

Rob Longley ‏@longleysunsport 48s
#Leafs announce Lupul injury as upper body. About as high in the upper body as you can go, we think.

MOD EDIT

@reporterchris: Randy Carlyle says Joffrey Lupul is available to play for the #leafs tonight. Decision will be made this afternoon.

****s sake man.

 

[JMcLeaf]

looked bad

 

[MoeMoney]

Why is it always the scrubs that cause these injuries? That was a blatant headshot by two 4th liners at the same time, there better be a suspension here.

Whats the number for Shanaban?

He's done. I've seen that before. One jolt from one side, in to a brick wall jolting you back the other way. His brain would have hit off his skull on both sides, at least three impacts.


Pretty clean though. The guy was a foot higher than Lupul.. he hit him with his shoulder.. and as far as I know.. no rule against hitting someone in to another player.

Sucks, but he's done for the year.

Thanks Doogie, I can switch the channel now.

Great; the Leafs may have lost their best scorer; while Philly may lose a scrub for 1-2 games.

This league is Pejorative Slured.

Clean? He got hit in the head, that's a dirty play, we are trying to get out of the league

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Man I'm pissed. I really liked Philly too. Godamn it ****

 

[TMLife*]

Omg!

 

[yakfish]

Lupul's a Leaf... there will be no suspension.

 

[Razz]

He is concussed for sure. Not good.

 

[Moncherry]

This is ********

 

[Ace88*]

Of course. ****ing great.

 

[SteveV*]

It looks real bad, like guy on a couch in the dark bad.

 

[Bravid Nonahan]

I hate it when ****ing scrubs take out a good guy like Lupul

You gotta give it to Lupul, he saw those guys coming and still took the hit to make the play, but man, I wish he would have pulled a Kessel there. It's not worth it when you have goons like that on the ice. **** them.

Kessel has played every game he could have since coming off shoulder surgery when we first got him. There's something to be said for ducking hits...

 

[KuralySnipes]

Boston fan here,

I'm just wishing Lupul a speedy recovery. I saw the hit and it doesn't look good.

 

[gordonshumway]

Yeah sure looked like what Leafs staff like to call "concussion like symptoms"
*****.

 

[LEAFSIN4]

i'm hoping it looked worse than it was, or if anything that he'll be back by playoffs.

 

[RhyZa]

Checked into Rosehill's shoulder. That pinball affect into a hard shoulder pad can't be good for his prognosis.

So I do agree with Doogie after all. He's likely done.

 

[LMFAO]

Did Orr kicked rosehill's ass pretty good ?

 

[SteveV*]

Wasn't dirty at all.

Yep. Taking the hit when it means something is one thing. Taking a hit for the sake of taking a hit doesn't help.
