Jagr is like the mayor of hockey in Europe (sans Russia) so pretty cool to see Chytil skating with him. Maybe Jags can teach him the butt shield move.
Gotta hope this ends up like a Crosby/Mika situation where a guy has a few of these and it becomes a hit of a topic and then before you know it it’s a “remember when?”
He's working out and skating/practicing. Maybe the team just is giving him the proper rest?
Certain fighting commissions medically suspend fighters from competing after a 'concussion'. Maybe they are following something similar. There really isn't a need to rush him and when you take into consideration how often he has been concussed, it's an easy decision.
He does have a mouth breathers chin tbh. Does he have breathing issues? Maybe @Amazing Kreiderman can get close enough to listen to him breathe

It doesn't hurt for contact leagues to start taking extra precautions for concussed players.Medical suspensions in MMA are normally 6 months for KO's. The NHL does not have a similar protocol and theres a reason for that. Fighters get hit in the head whether it be in competition or during live sparring. The big shots aren't necessarily the worry here, it's the accumulation of damage (even small jolts build up, this is why we've seen CTE develop in avid jet skiers via the constant bumping up and down on the water) and the fear of "second impact syndrome" that they want to eliminate. We've seen guys get KO'd cold in the NHL and come back within a month - That should wouldn't fly in MMA.
Allowing him to go home was more likely a mental reset. Thats probably the bigger battle here as he's been active for a while now and continues to be active (which would lead one to believe that he's had no setbacks, so the brain is probably healed up.)
Also ones chin has nothing to do with their level of oxygen intake. If that were the case you'd never accuse Fox for being out of shape #themoreyouknow

Played like 50 years but not a game in the NHL

If I remember correctly, while he did suffer concussions, it was the crack in his first and second cervical vertebrae that was extending his time away from the ice. The penguins medical staff didn't find it despite all the complaining about neck soreness he did. Once that was successfully taken care of and healed, he was able to get back on the ice and play at a top level.Gotta hope this ends up like a Crosby/Mika situation where a guy has a few of these and it becomes a hit of a topic and then before you know it it’s a “remember when?”
Brooks...
2. The Instagram post a couple of days ago by Filip Chytil of a picture of the smiling No. 72 on the ice with his trainer and Jaromir Jagr following a workout in Czechia leads me to believe that the centerman will return to New York in the not too distant future to ramp up for a return to active duty.
This is just me, but I think that Chytil will be back during the Jan. 28-Feb. 4 bye period/All-Star break and start to practice with the team in short order, presuming he is medically cleared.

Both takes are correct, but I’d imagine that skating/practicing in full pads would be a late stage recovery activity.And it means just as much when Brooks says it and a poster says it. It's all idle speculation based on a social media post with no real information to back it up. My two takeaways from that statement are (1) Chytil gets back when he gets back, and (2) Brooks is a joke.

So post Ramsey there is a more conservative approach to injury's especially this time of yearIt's definitely a positive sign. The timetable still remains to be seen. It feels like in another year, he would have already been playing at this point in his recovery.

Good info thanks...soon you will be a sourceyou are welcomePlayer Discussion - Filip Chytil: Part II
He’s clearly improving, albeit slowly. So if he’s going to be out a few months anyway, then he wants home cooking and to be around friends and family. To me this sounds like a situation where the team discussed him staying out until the playoffs as it’s in everyone’s best interest, and he...forums.hfboards.com
