50-50 to practice Friday is a lot better than out indefinitely. So HOPEFULLY it really is not that bad, and he will be fine.

@WharnsbyCBC: Carlyle said Lupul was feeling fine after the game and that he's 50-50 as to whether he will practice on Friday."
“@jonasTSN1050: Randy Carlyle says Lupul feels fine now. Said he's 50/50 to practice tomorrow. Will have to see how he responds.”

This is great news!
I was never a Leafs fan, I'm a Rangers fan. But the way this guy plays, if Rangers are out of playoffs, I will be rooting for Lupul and the Leafs! I wish Rangers had a player with his skill and heart!

Bad karma for that hit on Hedman a few weeks' back. Hope he recovers soon - don't know how you can be 50/50 with a concussion, but even if it's mild, he shouldn't be rushed back. If he needs to sit Saturday, sit him - someone else has to step up.

Not yet; it's common to think you are fine immediately after a concussion. It's a good sign he appears fine; but it's not bad to be cautious.

I'm sure he feels fine right now. It'll be the symptoms he has tomorrow morning when he wakes up that'll keep him out of the lineup.
I had a weird feeling something like this would happen seeing Rosehill traded to Philly. Doubt this hit gets any attention from the league...
Definitely a little relieved to hear about Lupuls prognosis after the game.

Yup.
We've seen it before, guys get hit hard, then they say they feel okay afterwards, then a few days later the symptoms start to hit them.
I really hope it's not one of those cases

Hedman hit was overblown. Hedman held up; or contact lands in the chest area. I don't think Lupul intended to hurt Hedman. There was also quite a bit of embellishment. Go back and watch the clip. Hedman appears fine; except for any time he makes eye contact with a ref; where he immediately clutches his head (twice). He was also back a few shifts later.
This was the same situation; Rosehill made contact with the head; after Lupul was pushed away from the expected travel path. Rosehill appeared to hold up. This case appeared to initially have intent (it was a sandwich; both players approached from each blindside); the player missed at least a game.
I can't see how this was not as bad; or worse. With that said; I don't think either deserved a suspension.

Thank god that Lupul is doing a lot better because after the hit he didn't look right and hopefully he can play this Saturday.

Don't get me started on the Hedman hit again - that was definitely a head shot and he was rightfully suspended. Like I said, bad karma.
As for tonight's hit - I saw nothing wrong with it - he got hit by Hall and then bounced his head off Rosehill's shoulder like a pinball.
You can't compare the two incidents - one definitely was a head shot, and the other a freak accident.

Business in the front, party in the back.
Yep. Most athletes that suffer a concussion don't even know that they got one at first. The Leafs won't rush him back if they feel he's not 100%--playoffs or not.

Would be a huge mistake to count our chickens already.
The future HOFer from the Flyers watching the game from pressbox came back and played 4 games before the concussion that has (likely) ended his career took effect.

This is why i keep telling people to not celebrate the playoffs yet. We havnt booked nothing yet and now we lost our leader until October. GOLF GOLF, hopefully the Phil the v****a steps ups and so does JVR who apparantly is so great.
Lupul really does seem to be a special player doesn't he? Something about this guy, not just his skill makes him stand out for me. Lupul is the kind of player and person in general who you would like to see others modelled around. He really seems to cherish and enjoy the game which makes watching him much more fun. Wish we had more like Lupul on the team.
