When Lafontaine and Keane collided it was a bit nastier looking than last night.
Filip did come back to finish out the 2nd period and the shift or two he took he looked okay. He was involved behind the net and along the boards.
Hopefully it's not bad but I think there's a decent chance he goes on IR or LTIR. I also don't think the Rangers are going out west for 4 games with just 12 forwards so I'd expect them to call someone up. It won't be Othmann who hasn't been playing. Most likely to get recalled--Rempe, Berard, Groulx or Leschyshyn. Maybe some chance for Sykora but I think it will be one of the first four. In any case I think Brodzinski is the most likely to fill in at 3C for now.
On the hit itself. It was an accident. Like others here I'm not happy with how Miller's been playing but there's no way he's trying to take out his own player and he probably feels pretty bad about it. Basically the Rangers want their D to pinch down to keep plays alive in the offensive zone and there was little enough of a forecheck from our team the first half of the game.

Just watched the clip.
2 things
1. Man the kid really doesn't keep his head up, like you can't see that redwood tree ahead of you?
2. If that is all it takes to put him out he shouldn't be in the nhl anymore. His health is on the line. Unfortunately he was our best center this year but realistically if that's all it takes he'll never play for us in playoffs anyway. We probably should have used the Smith assets on someone that could play center or wing.
