Player Discussion Mika Zibanejad: Part II

[True Blue]

Just saying...

NO, dangnabbit. He has a concussion. I know. I watched many hospital shows on tv.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

I was at the side of the net last night and got hit with a bomb of a slapper in the sternum/collarbone area (it fell right down to my stick and i backhanded it in, I'll take that trade any day!) and my entire upper body and left shoulder is sore and its only been about 10-12 hours.

It can really screw up your range of motion up top, if that is what is really ailing him

 

[Kords]

Meh, I'm not sold on it NOT being a concussion. Idc what they say, there are plenty of reasons to hide it and there has been plenty of questionable injury indiscretion in the past.

The thing I find most suspicious is that Weekes straight up said it was a concussion on the NHL network a day or two after the fact. I wouldn't be surprised if he spoke out of turn.

 

[JCProdigy]

So, hypothetically speaking, because sharing medical information is a touchy subject, [cough cough], if someone were re-watching the play it would be totally understandable to conclude that plays like that can cause a bruised sternum that makes it hard to breathe and get oxygen through the system.

That, combined with a more limited range of movement in a fast-paced occupation, could make hypothetically make someone more vulnerable to the type of injury that fans don't want a certain player to receive, should said player have been sent back out there on the ice.

So holding said player out to heal, and prevent a worse injury, would be a potential course of action.

You'll have to pry this tinfoil hat from my cold dead fingers!





But yeah, the lightbulb just went off =/

 

[noupf]

Anybody know what exactly MZ’s injury is ?

so the answer to my question is.......nobody knows, besides the NYR parties involved.

got it.

Did you skip over the post by @Edge giving a...(hint) explanation?

 

[duhmetreE]

Where did the concussion speak come from? He didn't even get hit in the head?

You don't exactly have to, especially if you've already had multiple concussions.

 

[Kupo]

This is true.. Hell, I remember Jagr's nagging groin concussion many years ago.

A concussed groin is nothing to joke about.

There was no shock/whip to his head. It seemed similar to the Chytil injury

 

[Habs10Habs]

Was hoping there would be an update on his condition. I'm guessing they're keeping the details quiet right now.

 

[JohnC]

Sounds an awful lot like a concussion to me

 

[NYRFAN218]

Yep. I know they said it wasn't a concussion at first but it's possible the symptoms developed later on.

Not quite the update any of us were hoping for. But thank you anyways.

A bruised sternum can easily be a 4-6 week injury.

 

[NYRFAN218]

A bruised sternum can easily be a 4-6 week injury.

Wouldn't that be easy to diagnose though? And that wouldn't really qualify as the day to day they've been saying he is since he got hurt.

Bruised sternums are also not injuries that you "take a step forward and then it's a step back"

 

[Richard Banger]

If it was a concussion they would of said it was. Simply because what bergy did was dirty and those type of hits should be done away with and this would be a good example to take to the league.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

The Ranger’s barely ever come out and say “Concussion” anymore because they know it could hurt a trade return later in their career if they have too many. They say neck injuries or jaw injuries instead.

It’s a concussion and always has been.

 

[Richard Banger]

They absolutely are. He can re-aggravated it just from sleeping on it wrong.

Unfortunately no. When it's an injury like this it's very hard to have a time table on when he's 100%. And the reason for that being is they're having to rely on his body to heal instead of excelling the healing process. (Surgery realignments etc.)

Or forgetting to tell his Swedish massage therapist to avoid that area.

 

[Kovalev27]

It’s not day to day it’s been two weeks. And he’s skated then has a set back? It’s a concussion. Clear as day. And it doesn’t sound like he’s coming back anytime soon with Quinn’s bullshit vague response. They want better answers? This is not good

Again, you should not be so certain in your assessment but it’s a very likely possibility at this point.
