Injury Report: Captain JT injury (aftermath)
- Thread starter Leafblooded
- Start date
I'm not the biggest fan of Corey Perry. What happened last night was not intentional. Oddly enough if Perry wouldn't have tried avoiding JT the result would have been better. Perry was in a no win position. I still hate the Habs. I hope JT recovers. IT's unlikely he's back for the series. The Leafs need to bear down and win this series. Maybe JT returns along the way. If he doesn't so be it. Just get better.

Come on, man. Relax. TB won the cup last season with no Stamkos, their captain. This still should be an excellent team.

This is false. My mom had a stroke last year and I was able to visit her in the hospital and in rehab during full lockdown.
Get well soon JT. I know Foligno is taking a lot of heat here, but if I was in that game I would have done the exact same thing as him.
It's not a popular opinion but I wouldn't watch my captain go out on a stretcher without some type of emotion overflow.

If nobody went after Perry the board would be screaming for a response. It's a no win situation.

Tavares is tough. I expect him to be playing again in this series.
Foligno handled it perfectly. There was no right answer on that one, you're 100% correct. I would have gone bonkers too.

Hey Brother, I hope she's doing well and makes a full recovery.
I hope he is healthy enough to play again in this series but I highly doubt he will
Yeah. These were my thoughts as well. I found it too vague to just say it was clear. Clear of...a concussion...damage to his neck/spine...? Almost sounds like he is and will be okay. Which, of course, we all hope for. But that play last night was one of the worst I've seen, in terms of him slumping back after trying to get up. I honestly, seriously, genuinely, feared that things were in an extremely dangerous territory for JT at that moment.

Foligno did the right thing. Any teammate who ends up in a heap in game action in catastrophic condition is typically going to be the spark for a fight. The fact that needs to be explained to the Toronto fanbase is surprising.

I'm glad Foligno stepped up. And if he hadn't, Simmonds would have too. It's good to have these guys in the lineup because the Leafs' haven't in the past and it's left fans screaming that the group has no heart/are soft.
Hoping JT can rebound quickly. I'm more concerned that the whiplash on his neck will keep him out longer.

It's really crazy. For all the talk about getting the major head injuries of the game, all the news outlets do is glorify it and sell it. It's disgusting, but from their perspective there's so such thing as bad publicity I guess. Maybe they could send a framed copy of that to his kids so they can have a memento.
Really really unfortunate this happened in game 1. We're going to be hearing about it for the entire series. I'm a Sens fan and was looking forward to a good solid series and now this clown show is going on.
Hope the Leafs can put this behind and turn it around - I think they will.
No reason to try and diagnose through video or try and pull clues from the words used to give updates - way too many unknowns for that. Just hope for the best.
I'm with you though, in the moment my thoughts instantly went to very bad places, probably the worst one I watched live since the Pavelski injury in the playoffs a couple years ago.
You are 100% and it's disgusting they do no understand.
I'm was arguing with some of my old teammates about the scrap. They said the fight was stupid.
Listen, you hurt my captain, MY CAPTAIN....you're eating your lunch through a tube.
It was accidental...but the intent is irrelevant. The end result is he's seriously hurt to the point where hockey doesn't matter - he has a family. All that matters is his quality of life isn't impacted.
You took my Captain out, you're going to see out of one eye for 2 weeks. That's the way it works.
Perry knew it was coming and respect for him engaging and taking it. Now we can try to move on.

I do think the Sun has the best sports coverage and usually their front page quips are extremely well done. But this...this is just tasteless. Come on folks. No one wants to see it, and surely no one would want this as a collector's item. Poor taste.
