That's pretty much the long and short of it. All the stuff they've overcome this year and it all goes away because of Matt ****ing Niskanen.

Just take it one game at a time. So good to have won those first two. If nothing else, just end the Caps.

Pissed about this. I hope Malkin comes out and absolutely crushes the Caps singlehandedly tomorrow.

Now, I just hope we can eliminate them and ruin their dreams. Whatever happens next, I am fine with.

But guys.... If anyone gave Crosby a head shot i was told they would be kicked out of the league...
****ing trash...I actually hope this league loses any concussion lawsuit thrown their way and are forced to pay billions.
I love when he lit up Oshie last night.
As I said that's probably the best thing he's done in the last 5 years.
He and Horny are about the only ones who throw good hard checks. I hear people call for Sestito to be called up but the refs and the league aren't stupid. He'll get the hook quicker than anyone for even a legal check. They'll end up on the PK for 5 min and down a man. Don't get me wrong, the last check he through someones face needed to be put back together, I wouldn't shed a tear if that were to happen to Niskanen right now.

Exactly. The fact they announced he'll miss Game 4, instead of the playoffs outright, is the best you could have hoped for.

I think all concussions are totally different. The severity of previous ones has nothing to do with future ones etc etc. Don't find a bridge yet is my point

He's going to get a banner raised right beside their "We advanced past the first round" banner.

The thing is, do we even want him to come back? The guy is 29y old, this is his 5th diagnosed concussion. Even though he would come back soon,i dont know if id want that just because the next hit could end up as marcsavardesque situation for him.
I feel physically ill becuse of this diagnosis. It ****ing pains me how much **** one guy has to go through. And why every single one of his injuries are ****ing head-related and some of the most freakiest **** ive ever seen starting from the Steckel hit to Orpiks puck to the face to some weird practice related concussion to this very concussion which ironically was caused by (yet again) Washington, and this time even Ovie was involved. Not blaming him by any means, but still its just...fuuuuck!

Yeah, concussions are extremely unpredictable. They don't necessarily build in impact and severity and recovery time, so just because the last one took 2.5 weeks or whatever, doesn't say much about what will happen here. Just have to wait and see and try to take control of the series tomorrow so they have the Caps on the ropes regardless.

So no Sid, Sheary, or Letang. This is on top of the numerous guys who are currently playing hurt. Don't see us making it out of this series unless Geno and Kessel both go into complete beast mode and Flower continues to stand on his gead.

It's incredible how stupid people are and how they just pull numbers out of their ass.

I hope both guys get well soon, playoffs or not.
It's a mess and has got to be demoralizing for the two of them but I think the rest of the guys will rally behind them and do their best to finish off Washington.

If the Caps fans giddily trying to figure out how long Crosby will be out and yapping about hockey gods have anything to do with it, it's probably already being erected.
Quite honestly after that incident I'm not sure I'd be invoking any hockey gods or thinking they would be on my side if they actually existed, but different strokes.
