Prayers sent to him.

Looked very bad. Concussions are no joke.

 

[hockeykicker]

even refs looked spooked

Looked very bad. Concussions are no joke.

Looked absolutely frightening. Laid motionless for 5+ minutes for those that were watching in real time. Most quiet I’ve heard an arena since Rich Peverley’s accident (which ironically was against the CBJ).

 

[TheAngryHank]

Didn't even touch him, his sonic wave took him out.

In serious though hope he is ok and had his wind knocked out.

 

[Frosty415]

Hopefully he's okay and doesnt end up with a concussion

[Dan Kelly]

he musta hit his head pretty hard because his legs fell like a ton of bricks. great round of applause for the poor guy !

 

[Cellee]

Yikes.

Hope it is not as bad as it looked.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Did not like watching that.

Thoughts and prayers with him.

Was he moving at all when he was carted off? Hopefully not a neck injury.

He gave a subtle thumbs up to which the crowd gave an applause to.

 

[Sheppy]

He’s out cold. Yikes, his head went down pretty hard, not only that... he didn’t even expect it. That’s the scary part.

 

[jetsforever]

Whoa, pretty scary
Hope he's okay

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Well, you certainly don't see that every day. Here's hoping it's just precautionary.

EDIT:

 

[hellstick]

Hopefully he's ok.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Ouch.

His head hit the ice incredibly hard.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Hopefully the stretcher is just precautionary and everything will be okay. That looked bad.

 

[Spazkat]

Whoa that was scary! Hope it end up not being anything serious

 

[Kyndig]

Didn't look that bad to me honestly in terms of bones breaking, but he probably has a concussion.

 

[Ol' Jase]

Hoping for a good news update. Buddy of mine had close first hand view and says it looked awful.

Telling that main team/building physician was brought out. Never a good sign.

 

[KCC]

He was able to move his legs and arms which is a good sign. Not sure if it was his head or neck or both, but he smashed his head on the ice very hard.

 

[Dzonna]

hope he’s ok

 

[McGuires Corndog]

I guess McDavid is a pretty good bowler too.

In all seriousness, glad to hear he’s talking and moving extremities. Never something you want to see, very scary. Hope for a quick and full recovery.
