Bennett hit on Stolarz (no supplemental discipline) MOD WARNING IN POST #621

[WTFMAN99]

As I already pointed out, I'm well aware of goalies doing the head shake to adjust the mask, get a better feel. But it being "definitely not inductive" of a concussion in this case can't be said with certainty.

Do blows to the head from a fist/forearm/elbow typically result in a concussion?

 

[Jacob]

Some Leafs fans should know if he does the head shake thing regularly or not.

[DueDiligence]

Leaf fans are hypocrites. In their eyes this was good.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Yeah also a former goalie...shaking out the mask is something you do almost every single time you put the mask back on lol

I don't disagree, but that shake didn't look like a shake before you put your mask back on to get your hair back or whatever. It looked more involuntary.

Why do you ask?

I don't think diagnosing concussion over twitter can be conclusive either. Not doubting the doctors background and knowledge....but yeah.

Yeah I guess it is hard to say...I am sure he got the bell rung on both and it could be both impacts combined in a short period of time lead to the severe reaction after the Bennett hit.

Nah man, apparently 72% of the time you shake your head after a hit/object contact in sports, you have a concussion apparently! Blindly trust the WWE Superstar turned CTE advocate/author/"phd neuroscientist". Don't use common sense! I must have had 250 concussions by now. Miracle I'm still alive.

I can't believe people blindly repeat this obvious trash. It's sad. No degree of healthy skepticism.

And I've said he probably had a concussion from the puck hit since last night. So, I'm not disagreeing with that. Just pointing out obviously junk science/statistics by that "expert".

 

[Cyclones Rock]

The payback was the Leafs winning game 1.
They can go after him in a meaningless regular season game next year

LOL

Typically?
No.

 

[notbias]

Dude is a neuroscientist that specializes in concussions, I'm sure they have symptomatic data they've mapped.

Starting to think I've had about 100 concussions, my natural reaction after being hit in the head when it is unexpected is generally to shake my head.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

Dress Reeves and let him go ham on Bennet the second he steps foot on the ice. It's the only way the coward is going to learn.

 

[SenzZen]

Just going to bump this.

Carry on with your narratives, though!

[Captain97]

Greasy yes, penalty yes, suspension worth probably not.

The hit wasnt aggregious, I like many others would bet the puck to the mask was 90% of the problem and this just further aggravated the issue.

If you observe 100 random goalie head shakes, 99 of them have nothing to do with a concussion. So at what point does the head shake lose effectiveness as a concussion indicator specifically for goalies?

Im not saying its not a valid concussion indicator, im saying goalies do it so often that it cant be reliably used as one on a goalie

 

[teugen]

They showed clips of Stolarz vomiting at the bench man. Come on.

Yea, you're an abolute softie if you get a concussion from that contact and start vomiting. Wich tells me maybe something else happened to him, like a puck to the head at mach 10 just a moments before this brutal and intentional murder by Bennet. FFS.

because it was noted directly after he took a shot to the head. I personally think it was the standard goalie mask adjustment shake, and I can still believe he was concussed from the Reinhart shot. I've watched and played hockey for decades, and Nowinski probably isn't aware of it, but it's something to consider in this one isolated case, because of the circumstances. where are you getting "99/100?" lmao

 

[Canovin]

Puck to the face. Played through it which he shouldn't have but it's hard to detect these things. The hit from Bennett was the final blow.

 

[izlez]

Personally, I think the headshake thing is nonsense. But if we're going to talk about it, he shakes his head about 2 seconds after his helmet comes off, before he picks it back up and puts it back on (the self-proclaimed leader in head shaking research apparently missed this, so I don't know how good he is at diagnosing concussions from twitter)

 

[dangomon]

To stay on the incident but get off the discussion:

Isn't it completely insane that the back up goalie gets a warm up when the concussion spotter forces a change, but if a player leave with an actual concussion (or any other injury) the goalie no longer gets that warm up?

I've never understood how a short warm up is such a detriment to the game.

Especially when they're slowing the the game down with coach challenges and scraping and everything else.

Bennett may want to keep his head up for the rest of the series.

 

[NVious]

For sure, pushes to the back, stick whack to the shinpads=elbow to the back of a goalies head.

It was brutal for Ottawa when Greig puked after that, was stretchered out and went to the hospital
