Injury Report: Captain JT injury (aftermath)

[Nylander88]

Really just want an update saying that he's ok. If he's out for the series, fine. Out for the playoffs all together, fine. Just want to know he's okay and it's something he'll bounce back from. Great period by our boys, can't imagine how hard that must be to shake off when you know the guy intimately. Never met John a day in my life and I'm still shook

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Definitely accidental.

It's impossible for him to do that on purpose at that speed. Just a terrible outcome though.

In the heat of the moment of the game and playoffs, after this series no one on the Leafs will be blaming Perry.. probably a few fans still will though

Depends, maybe he takes out a few more players before the end of the series.

Can only imagine what Aryne is going through right now. Based on my own mental state, it's probably not pretty. Prayers for the whole family

 

[Leafblooded]

f***ing hell, alright. Hard to see but looks like lacerations from his visor. Tbh frank blood is much better to see prognostically than the dark bruising you would get from blood draining into those tissues from a deeper fracture. The real bad stuff doesn't give you bleeding you can see.

I hope you're right and he's better than that looked and it is just a cut that the blood came from poor JT. Please be ok!!

So tough to watch, just hoping for a speedy recovery for him. Hockey takes a back seat when moments like this happen.

It's likely a concussion and in order to know the severity they will just have to monitor him day to day for a few weeks.

Reillys best play of the year.

I'm finding it hard to care about this game. That was nightmarish.

Jaw doesn’t look right to me. Hope he’s ok.

 

[Frendlygiant]

As a jets fan I can empathize with what a gut punch this must be; considering what happened to Scheifele last playoffs. Of course this injury looks much more horrific.

Hope all the best for Tavares and that your boys can pull through for him.

Hope its nothing long term

That was scary looking

Thats not a joke, numnuts. Im refering to Dubas staying with Mikheyev in the hospital for days when his hand was sliced.

Well then you’re just an idiot

I know concussions aren't a great thing...but I'd be happy with that outcome. Neck/spinal injury of any sort would be much worse

 

[nuck]

Perry could have done a better job of avoiding him.

He's a dirty prick.

Yes he is but not on that play. It happened so fast and he was airborne trying to avoid contact. Hopefully it isnt as bad as it looked but at that speed not just concussion but cheekbone or orbital injuries can result. Too early to ssay.

 

[lcs1979]

This talk of him coming back is ridiculous. He was hit in the head with a the force equivalent of a hammer. This isn’t about hockey. This is about his life. He could easily have bleeding in the brain and die within 24 hours. This isn’t hyperbole.

 

[moon111]

Pretty much another chapter written by the hockey gods to eliminate the Leafs chances.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

It’s almost a certainty he will have a concussion the question is how severe. Hoping it’s mild because severe concussions can end a career. Let’s pray for Johnny.

A concussion seems secondary. His neck/spine is the concern the way his head snapped back.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

I feel terrible. Dread

 

[wingman75]

From a team perspective, we're fcked.

From a JT perspective, I hope its just whiplash and a minor concussion. Rest up captain, your family needs you more than this pathetic fcking team.

 

[Chippy]

Perry could have done a better job of avoiding him.

He's a dirty prick.

you don't know hockey

[MinJaBen]

Canes fan here wishing JT a fast and full recovery. Very scary hit.

 

[Bloomberg]

Wishing JT a fast and full recovery

Let’s hope for some good news in the morning with Tavares.
