[Pirate King Luffy]

Yes.

 

[Lunatik]

Go Flames Go

 

[Yung Rotini]

Ha ha yeah sports

 

[DCDM]

Go team win the thing

 

[CraigsList]

Ferland and Hudler are good to go.

Hope we focus on our speed more than our physicality today.

 

[StreakingRed]

Go Flames! Let's see a response to the **** show that was Game 1.

 

[StreakingRed]

Ferland and Hudler are good to go.

Great news!

 

[Lunatik]

Ferland and Hudler are good to go.

I'm still concerned about Ferland. He seemed really out of it.

 

[InfinityIggy]

I hope we are the winnin guys!

 

[CraigsList]

I'm still concerned about Ferland. He seemed really out of it.

Yeah... He really looked out of it last game. However, he did say himself he was good to go, and I can't imagine the medical staff letting him loose if he really wasn't ready. Guess we'll see how he does tonight!

With how poorly we played last game, everyone should be expected to have better games.

Yeah, but that is the problem with the playoffs. Dumb to do it though.

It happens all the time.

 

[Lunatik]

Yep, they say they are fine when they aren't just to play.

I don't think the Flames are the Flyers during the Lindros days. Treliving seems like a real by the book kind of guy, I don't think he would mess around with one of his young players being concussed. Ferland left last game and did not return, which means he would have underwent a series of concussion tests as protocol by the NHL. If he's playing, I'm confident that he's good to go. The fact he didn't return last game tells me that our medical team looked at him thoroughly.

Concussions are a different injury, it's not playing with a bad shoulder for example.

Concussions also don't show up on tests like a torn muscle. If a player denies having symptoms, you have to take them at their word.

 

[Anglesmith]

Go Flames! Score goals! Don't let the other team score goals!

 

[Mobiandi]

All in vcash on the Ducks. Surely no 6-1 now

 

[Ynnek]

Time for a push back to steal home ice advantage.

When Crosby was dealing with his whole concussion problems the NHL changed their protocol. If a player gets a head shot in game, the trainers have to put that player through a concussion exam and he needs to pass before he can go back in. Yes a player can lie but I admit that I'm not familiar with the various tests they administer on the player in the dressing during the game after receiving a shot. I'd like to give our medical staff the benefit of the doubt that if they suspected Ferland was concussed that he would not have clearance to play.

any test for concussions involves the person who has been concussed telling doctors how they feel about different things. Sure they can look at pupils and stuff liek that, but 90% of concussion symptoms don't show up in tests.

I'm speculating, but I'd guess it involves certain cognitive tests and motor skill exams that a person with a concussion would have difficulty passing as well. Again I'm not saying it's impossible that a player couldn't beat that, but the Flames are a first rate organization that really care about their players so I would like to think that they do their diligence.

Again I'm no expert, but I think that if Ferland is in its because he's good to go.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

I have experience in multiple concussions. Not all tests will show if someone has a concussion or not. I have done this were I said I was fine. I had multiple CT scans, EG scans etc and they don't really show anything on the brain.

 

[MonaHan Solo]

If we score more goals than the Ducks, we might win.
