Injury Report: Stephane DaCosta w/ video of the incident

[MainDotC]

Right at the :15 mark. Very subtle, and they didn't show a replay on the scoreboard, but Angelidis really whacked him.

This is what was left on the ice after he left. Angelidis from Syracuse got him good in the head. I couldnt tell if it was an eye. I'll let you know if hes missing in the third period.

Well **** me.

 

[Benjamin]

High stick or a hit?

 

[MainDotC]

High stick...DaCosta not on the ice for the 3rd

 

[SenzZen]

Yikes hope he's ok.

Isn't Angelidis a bit of a d-bag?

 

[MainDotC]

anyone have an update on the cost a?

 

[playasRus]

Oh noes

Terrible for Bingo.

Hopefully didn't knick his eye and no permanent damage. That would be the worse case scenario for him.

 

[chipsens]

Was there anyone on Bingo who stepped up after this dirty hit? Sdao?

"Chipsens":


To be honest nobody saw the hit on Da Costa if anybody did see the penalty please tell us what did happen................

Can NOT say IF there was anything to stand up for....................

I really hope he wasn't wearing his visor over his forehead like usual.

I really hope he wasn't wearing his visor over his forehead like usual.

ill never forget his first nhl game, just look at his head and visor.....
ill also never forget bobby butler in his first ever nhl game on the bench clutching his stick with both hands and saying "*******"..and then giving the worst interview in hockey history in the first intermission

ok guys I checked the replay on ahllive.com...Angelidis was leading a shorthanded rush up ice with Paquette. Peumpel was at the right point (facing SYR goalie) and tried to pass across the blue line to Wideman. Angelidis picked off the pass and started up ice with Peumpel, Wideman, and SDC chasing, and Paquette the trailer. Angelidis drew Peumpel and Wideman to the far side of the boards and left the puck behind him for Paquette to pick up. SDC was to the right rear of Paquette. As Angelidis skated toward the far side, criss-crossing with Paquette, he had one hand on his stick leaving the puck behind him for Paquette, and his body was half-twisted. When he turned back around to face the play he was slinging his stick back into his left hand and inadvertently slashed SDC across the face. Can't tell if it's an eye but hopefully there are some tweets with updates.

Edit: Just added a vid using my phone recording from the TV. Sorry it's ghetto.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Wow, unbelievably careless by that guy. Just swung his stick completely around and nailed DaCosta in a spearing motion.

Ouch.

 

[StefanW]

Well that was awful. I hope he is ok and ready to play again next game. And I hope the dude who did it is suspended for 2 or 3 games.

 

[SenatorArmy*]

yeah looked pretty inadvertent. Just unfortunate really. Still should've been high sticking at least

 

[Countdown0]

Definitely didn't look intentional, but the rule is that you are responsible for your stick, intentional or not. ReginKarlssonLehner had it right. "Careless" is the exact way to describe it.

I think if blood is drawn on the play, Refs should be FORCED to look at a reply to see what caused it and assess the proper penalty, assuming, of course, that neither of them is already calling it. You can't let crap like that slide, and players need to know that they must keep their sticks away from others' face/head area.

 

[Lehner]

ya definitely was an accident, too bad hope hes okay!

Still rooting for Da Costa, I have a bet that he will one day score 40 points in the NHL. I need him to do that for me

Da Costa update 03-31-2014 Monday ☺☻☺

Supposely Da Costa is day to day according to WBNG's Travis Eldridge..

So might not be as serious as thought with all these reports of factures/broken nose. Might just be a nasty cut was all.

From another poster..................

Dam that had to hurt hurt me just seeing the blood ººº.....

 

[Ski]

....

 

[Qward]

....

He has a good sense of humor about it.

 

[LynxBud]

Ouch. Right across the bridge of his nose.. bummer.

 

[MainDotC]

Damn that is nasty. That certainly equates to the amount of blood that was on the ice.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Did he just totally diss O'Brien? Because I don't think he's injured as well. He's in the stands cuz he sucks.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Happy he's okay

 

[TheNewEra]

honestly best thing here is that he didnt get hit in the eye. careless play it could have been avoided but atleast its not a potential career ending injury
