that was garbage. Edmundson cheap shots him and stands over him barking. Even worse than the act was that NOONE came to Hymans aid. Soft soft soft.

Did the leafs just get long term cap relief..because I don't think the doctors should have moved him so quick.

Are you unaware of how serious concussions can be?
are you forgetting what happened to Crosby?
First this
Few days later got hit by hedman
missed the remainder of the season and didn’t start the next season until November 21.
wasn’t ready to player for almost 11 months.
he played a few games and was out again until March.
I care more about his health than I do about hockey

the only way to eliminate that is to call double minors ...2 mins for the x-check, AND an un-sportsman penalty for it being after the whistle. ...if uncalled it ends up with someone 'accidentally' being x-checked in the face after it happens a few more times
A former team physician on John Tavares' injury

Dr. Michael Clarfield, former Maple Leafs team doctor and current physician with Cleveland Clinic Canada, discusses John Tavares' injury and breaks down the process in caring for a player when such an injury occurs, and what the next steps might be for Tavares.

Crosby missed the rest of his season (January and on) and didn’t play the next season until November 21.
From this hit.
I want the best for JT.
He should not return to play for the remainder of the playoffs.
JT gets interfered, tripped, slashed elbowed, punched in the face all without getting a call. I’ve never witness a player get so much abuse and still bounce back and continue playing more than JT.

Seriously? Thankfully he has been discharged from hospital and probably has a concussion.Yes the hit looked really bad but to say that is just plain silly.

I know it’s tough without him but if we can’t win this series for JT, I don’t know what to say about this team.
Matthews and Marner are paid to carry us and they better f***ing do it. Nylander was better than both yesterday. Matthews was good but he has to produce. Marner had a couple of moments but overall weak game from him.
Not really that silly
Cervical cord damage could physically end your life (respiratory depression) or give you paralysis from the neck down (impact your quality of life).
The tests that were run on JT were to make sure his cervical cord and brain were intact

Lets hope JT a speedy recovery and he is back to 100% soon with no long term repercussions and joining his teammates out on the ice. 
As far as injuries overall go, losing your #1B centre might be among the biggest hits to the roster overall as strength down the middle with 2 X top lines was/is a Leafs strength. Without JT in the middle, suddenly Leafs replacements and #2-#4 Centre options and lines drops significantly in his absence.
Kerfoot, Spezza, Thornton, Engvall, Brooks as options doesn't seem all that appealing nor compelling to fill out the roster after Matthews line that would strike fear in the opposition to defend against.

Do I think Perry intentionally tried to knee Tavares in the head to hurt him? No
Would I put it past Perry to play a little dirty and take extra shots at players in an intense playoff game? Absolutely not.
IMO Perry didn't intentionally knee him in the head. The play happened really fast and Perry didn't have a lot of time to reaction to how Tavares fell.
BUT - my guess is Perry saw the hit on Tavares as he turned and was taking a straight line back in the play and, in doing so, was looking at taking an extra shot at Tavares on the way by. Not necessarily in the head or anything, just a shot to the body.

Dude. I am aware. But I ain’t stupid enough to come on here and say he won’t play next season. I am not a doctor. If you are then enlighten us. He is the captain of our maple leafs. I don’t want to read about worst care scenarios from people who know nothing about this and are just assuming things.
All we know right now is that he is home under supervision. He has cleared all tests. We don’t even know if he has a concussion. If you do link it here. He probably just. A knee to head is bad.
That post was made after JT was already released from hospital. To say "he almost lost his life" is a complete fabrication. At no time was that even remotely possible based on the result.
If the poster had said "JT is lucky because he could have been seriously injured or even killed" I would accepted that.

Official confirmation. Hoping he's able to get through it speedily.
Best case scenario is he's out minimum for 10-14 days. Though can't even really speculate on that at this point because of the severity of the hit.

I didn’t say he wasn’t going to play next season.
I said he was done for the playoffs.
PROBABLY will miss part of next season.
I would not be surprised if he missed next season.
Recap: miss the remainder of the playoffs
Probably miss a part of next season
Would not be surprised if he missed next season.
Do you have any idea how many players get concussions in a regular season of hockey?
Sure, you can cherry-pick the worst case. But the average recovery is a hell of a lot faster than that.
You can't gauge the severity of a concussion by looking at the intensity of an impact. It doesn't work like that, they're just not that simple. It's entirely possible that JT misses training camp. It's also entirely possible that he plays game 5. Both are unlikely. Nobody knows at this point, and he's day-to-day.
But your asinine comments really bring nothing of value to the conversation.

Leafs should be able to beat the habs with or without Tavares.
Let him get some rest.
