Yeah, listen to this: You know what this sounds to me like? He's having some symptoms, and they went to a specialist who's going "if you check five boxes you have a concussion". And he checked four.
Otherwise, why even report this? I guess there is a chance that they are just being extra EXTRA careful, and forcing Chytil to go this even if he feels fine. Which, I'm totally fine at this point, if that is the case.

No concussion but still day to day makes me think it's a broken bone in his face. Tracks with him coming back into the game after the concussion eval the other night. Wouldn't be shocked to see him with some kind of shield when he returns to the lineup.

Praying these reports are true! Different team with Fil! He deserves better.

It reads like someone that is still having symptoms but they have ruled out a concussion as the cause
If there was even a small chance it was a concussion he wouldn’t be flying to Calgary and playing so soon.
The Rangers are dumb but not that dumb. They learned their lesson last year.

I didn't need to finish reading after that because I did know what that sounded like.... It hard to think the latter is what took place. I feel something would have leaked about Chytil being fine but they're taking extra precautionary measures here to make sure. In the end I don't really care as long as he's healthy but the evaluation does come off a little weird like they weren't sure because Chytil showed signs of something. Hopefully those signs weren't symptoms related.

He took a shoulder to the face/jaw area. Given his history with concussions I bet they were overly cautious on him traveling, but him returning to the game and being cleared of a concussion makes me think he broke his jaw or something.

Larry has always had connections. His opinion pieces suck, but his beat reports are (usually) spot on.
Im not sure it’s connections when literally every beat writer said the exact same thing at the exact same time.
This is info the rangers released

Chytil is one of the most likeable players to play for my teams ever. Dude unfortunately has sacrificed so friggin much for the team and still plays every shift like it's his last. Meanwhile Mika...

I always found is bizarre how people wanted so many specifics when it came to players health/injuries. As if HIPAA wasn't a thing.
I'm glad he's going to be okay.

There's a thing called gambling. NHL is probably the only league in NA to be this vague about injuries. It will change eventually. Lineup announcements too. Coming from Europe, I find it unbelievable that there is such a thing as "game time decision", with lineups and rosters posted like 30mins before puck drop. In Europe with big soccer leagues, starting XI has to be public like 5 hours before kick off, mandated by all the betting companies. The gamblers have to know what they are putting their money into.
