Gotta be collar bone. With the inconsistency of dops i dont know what we will see here. He was in a vulnerable position for sure. Foegele will get a visit from Mr Wilson im assuming

I didn't think the hit was that bad, or predatory. Deserving of a penalty, I guess, but I've seen worse go uncalled. Oshie just seemed to get tangled up awkwardly on the way down so he couldn't protect himself. It would suck if it was a broken collarbone. That's 6 weeks.

Ouch,that hurts he is a great player for them ...Going to be tough sledding without him in the top 6

Post lots of angles of the vicious hit so people can really see how dangerous and predatory it was.

If Oshie is seriously injured then that is obviously very unfortunate and not something any team wants to see whether it’s an opponent or their own player.

Would some nice fan post a video of the hit so I can point out he was 5 feet from the boards, pushed lightly in the lower back and was already on the way down?

I think arm or wrist. He actually rolled over on all fours and I can't see him doing that if it was his collarbone.

Either way he's done and Capitals fans will miss his energy and since he plays in all situations he will be impossible to replace.

Sure. Cap does that to a Cane, and the world is on fire (or a Cap wins a fight against a Cane and he’s the Devil).

I’d expect the Caps to now be fully engaged. Congrats Canes — you may have finally awoken the sleeping giant.

Watching it and the replays I thought he hurt his wrist. I’m sure it will just come out as upper body though

Skating off the ice he is holding his right arm or wrist.

Kinda looked like he tried to settle the puck down with is hand then lost an edge. Didn't really seem like much a push from Foegele.

It's dirty. Subtle but dirty.

 

[Beauner]

Oshie just seemed off balance. Bad result on what could have easily been a nothing play

It's dirty. Subtle but dirty.

By any metric it was a light two handed push to the lower back. A play that happens dozens of times a game without getting called. Oshie was off balance or lost an edge and went into the board awkwardly. It’s not like Foegele launches him or something. It’s a bad result to a pretty innocent play

Crosscheck to the numbers on a guy in a vulnerable position 2 yards from the boards. Cant do that. Wouldnt be surprised if there is a short suspension coming. Dangerous play.

The force of the push has to come into the context of the play though. It was very light by most standards. Oshie was off balance and lost an edge but it’s far from a malicious play. I’ll be surprised at a suspension

Its still a dangerous play. Crosscheck to the numbers on a guy facing the boards. Extremely dangerous if they go down in situations like that and Oshie did. Thats why you cant do it and i wouldnt be surprised if he gets a one game suspension.

I hope there is no suspension. That was not dirty. Should not even be a penatly. Hope he is okay tho. Oshie is seemingly a really nice guy.

 

[TSA0402]

Not at all surprised if this ends up being a major injury. It looked bad.

 

[wingman75]

I think it should have been 5 and a game. He extended his arms to push Oshie towards the boards. He knew what he was doing. Obviously didn't mean for him to get hurt like he did, but it was a dumb needless play. The officials called it roughing, which was a joke (as per usual).

 

[dogbazinho]

My prediction is Oshie will only miss 2 games.

 

[GoldiFox]

Canes lost Jordan Martinook in the 1st on a similar unfortunate crash into the boards. Bad luck.

 

[Linnie The Pooh]

Tough loss for sure for the Caps. Like they say the next guy has to step up.
