Please be okay.

Has to be bone or eye. Please not eye.

He dead

Just rolling around Denver all day

No at all what I wanted to hear Unsustainable..

 

[Wolfpuck]

Eye injuries are (obviously) no joke. Just saying that makes me think about Malhotra, Pronger, and Berard.

I really hope this is just precautionary.

 

[bleedgreen]

Looked like he was seeing fine on his way off the rink but who knows. Hope it’s precautionary.

 

[zman77]

Hope Calvin is ok.

 

[Tryamw]

I've heard (Second hand) that TSN is reporting he had a cut near the eye... (I'm hoping that this is the case and nothing permanent.)

 

[The Faulker 27]

A few different sites reporting it was eye related. Which I think we all assumed. Let's hope it's nothing major. I would think they would have an update soon, considering he went to the hospital last night.

Near the bottom, Notes, says "cut near the right eye"

thank god....guy has had a rough year for someone who does wear a shield

 

[zman77]

Calvin de Haan has been on the receiving end of two nasty high sticks this season, and the latest is certainly a concern.
Alexander Kerfoot's stick, on a follow through, got under de Haan's visor, catching him in a dangerous place. De Haan left the game and was taken to the hospital for further evaluation.
"We hope he's going to be OK," Brind'Amour said.

A cut near the eye is not good, but is much better than cut on the eye.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Good to hear he’s alright. Was pretty nervous last night after not seeing any blood on the ice

There was blood on his face and shield.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Jesus, hope he makes a 100 percent recovery.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Hard to tell from that lingo if that means he'll be ready to play on friday but I would assume so. We'll need every able bodied player we can get. Torts head would explode if they lost that game.

That'd almost be worth the price of going but I don't think it'll really happen and if it did don't bring the kids.

 

[Thrasymachus]

This breaks my heart. I always loved Calvin as a player and I wish him a speedy recovery

Not to be a dick, but it doesn't say in that statement that he's "alright."

Hard to tell from that lingo if that means he'll be ready to play on friday but I would assume so. We'll need every able bodied player we can get. Torts head would explode if they lost that game.

That statement definitely leaves a lot of room for interpretation.

"At this point ..." - implies it's too soon to say anything more, meaning there will be steps in the process.

"... responding as we would hope." -- implies a) there was something wrong that required responding to, and b) there was a non-zero chance it would *not* respond.

"... optimistic that he will make a normal recovery without restrictions to his ability to play hockey." -- the need for optimism again implies that there is clearly an injury from which recovery is not assured.

"... in the near future." -- this means virtually nothing without context, but my reading between the lines says that he's going to be out a while. If he was "alright," Waddell would have said he was "alright." The fact that they put out a statement is a little concerning in and of itself. The fact that the statement was exceedingly vague is even more concerning. He's clearly got something going on, and with vision being pretty important to a hockey player, I'd be surprised if we didn't see Fleury called up soon.

 

[robbieberns]

that statement either reads as “good chance he’s good to go on friday” or “it’s a pretty bad one but we think he should be good to go in september for training camp”

 

[Chrispy]

Agree with kevin, the way that is phrased has me worried that we won't see de Haan again this season. Long-term optimistic, but even something as minor as a scratched cornea could take a while to have vision recover from a blurry state.

Fingers crossed for a speedy and complete recovery
