Injury Report: Muzzin injured || Out for the CLB series

[dubplatepressure]

Classy. What a POS.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

You see those cheapshot crosschecks happen numerous times a game. Must have really caught him in the wrong spot for him to not only be down, but stretchered off.

 

[Schenn]

So if they remove Muzzin from the bubble for medical treatment is he automatically gone 2 weeks?

 

[Gabriel426]

Hopefully just a stinger, hope he will be fine

 

[kevsh]

I'd bet he just strained/pinched his neck.

Looks like it snapped back at an awkward angle and when it's anything to do with the neck or head, the medical staff were being very cautious. I have a feeling he'll be back Thursday.

 

[Alerion]

If he has to leave the bubble I think he has to test negatively for 4 days before he can return to action. Even if he's not hurt, he could be missing games from this. What a damn shame.

 

[Antropovsky]

think i overheard Muzzin say "cut it off and lets keep playing". The medical guy "muzzin its your neck though".

Hope he is ok! He is a warrior.

Absolutely

Spezza taps a shin in a 2-0 game and gets a penalty. Ensuing PP, 6'4 PLD crosschecks an unsuspecting Muzzin in the back.....putting him on a stretcher. No call... refs ruined an otherwise great game.

 

[PromisedLand]

Is it concussion or did Muzz pull a hamstring or something?

 

[mcleex]

If you go super slow-mo, it looks like PLD's stick catches Muzz on the side of the head as he's going down, causing his head to snap back and hit the leg with force. How that was not a penalty is truly astonishing.

Because you said it yourself. You have to look at it in slo mo. No way you'd catch that with how fast everything is happening

 

[qqaz]

In case anyone missed it, he was confirmed moving his limbs and talking before being put on the stretcher.

 

[Alkalinesky]

Oh for sure, I meant the initial cross-check being a penalty. I was trying to figure out the mechanics of exactly how he fell so awkwardly.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Could it be spine related because I can't see anything else?

Thankfully he was moving his arms and legs. Praying that it's a stinger and that he'll be ok.

That whole officiating sequence in the last few minutes of the game was complete disgrace.

Leafs games always get the clown show officiating.

 

[ORRFForever]

Looked like his neck tbh. Hope I’m wrong

I noticed they had his feet levitated.

 

[rumman]

Hopefully just a stinger, hope he will be fine

that's the first thing I thought, not serious, but if you've ever had one you'd know how scary the idea of being paralyzed is...............

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

No it’s only 4-5 days if you leave the bubble and don’t test positive.

 

[m1ker]

I know NHL isn’t releasing injury updates because Covid but in a situation where we are genuinely worried about the player, I wonder if they’ll give us an update

 

[Raging Bull]

Looked like a pinched nerve to me. Hopefully just stretchered for precautionary reasons, obviously don't want to f*** around when dealing with the neck.

 

[Gabriel426]

I had run in a rugby match and I was so freaked out. Esp since literally 2 yrs ago, one of guys at my rugby club got smashed and needed surgery on his neck. The trainer came in and just ask can I feel my finger, toes...It was scary.

 

[Stephen]

I’m hoping it’s just a precaution they took him off on the stretcher. He seemed very calm so maybe they wanted to just take the extra care. Was a bit of a whiplash action when he hit Bjorkstrand in the butt but that Dubois cross check probably left a bruise too. Hopefully it’s nothing and I’ll definitely be refreshing to hear the good news that it wasn’t serious.

 

[Ratboy]

Could be a stinger. Football players get it a lot. Maybe felt some pain from a squished disc. I hope he's alright.

 

[Green Snow Storm]

If he has to leave the bubble I think he has to test negatively for 4 days before he can return to action. Even if he's not hurt, he could be missing games from this. What a damn shame.

I don’t know what the protocols are, but I’ve seen Scheifele in the stands and back in the bubble, and I would imagine he got medical attention Saturday? I have no idea what the protocols are.

 

[ChiTownLeafer]

I'd be disappointed if NHL didn't at least give PLD a fine. Not disappointed by the precedent they have set but disappointed because they would really be neglecting the 'player safety' portion. That's a reckless act. Not dirty but definitely reckless to cross check someone in the numbers right into the boards.

 

[lovemyleafs]

Gonna need Muzzin. Hope he's alright. Loved his energy on the ice tonight.

I think this might be the first time I've seen this type of injury in the NHL [i.e. neck strain]
I've seen it a couple times in the NBA. Players usually miss at least a month.



That's a similar incident where the neck snaps back.

 

[Morlu]

Muzzin is at the Hospital. Hopefully, the tests are negative. I’m guessing he has to quarantine though.
