Player Discussion Filip Chytil: Part III

[TGWL]

Such a weird evaluation...

 

[LOFIN]

Such a weird evaluation...

Yeah, listen to this:

https://x.com/i/web/status/1858913257521816041

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.

 

[McRanger92]

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.

 

[ncdoc]

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

 

[Alluckks]

Yeah, listen to this:

https://x.com/i/web/status/1858913257521816041

I don't really like the sound of this

It reads like someone that is still having symptoms but they have ruled out a concussion as the cause

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

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.

It's crazy how much more us fans know than actual professionals

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.

I thought Larry had no connections. Huh.

 

[LOFIN]

I thought Larry had no connections. Huh.

Larry has always had connections. His opinion pieces suck, but his beat reports are (usually) spot on.

 

[IDvsEGO]

I thought Larry had no connections. Huh.

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

 

[TGWL]

Next time somebody needs to just ask Emily to provide an update.

 

[Fitzy]

It's crazy how much more us fans know than actual professionals

We've zero modesty as a collective.

It must be some sort of odd pathology, because now every time Chytil steps on a lego half a dozen people on hf NYR enjoy popping in and declaring his career is over for the 5th time.

Another banger.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

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...

 

[Atax]

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.

that's not how HIPAA works but in general teams don't want to release all the details for various reasons.

as for Chytil, probably just "his neck" so send him to the brone cracker and make sure it's screwed up properly

I mean lol everything about this is f***ed up

sports gambling is a plague (well, all kinds in general)

I get privacy rights and hipaa but professional athletes sacrifice these things as part of their contracts and getting paid. The nhl and professional leagues generally exist due to its customers and this information is very relevant. We’re fans and this impacts the player/team/game.

You’re both correct and incorrect.
The players medical results go directly to the team.
The player waives that portion of their rights.
The team is under zero obligation to release the information to the public and the player is entitled to privacy under HIPAA.
You can argue “paid entertainment “ all you want. You’re just wrong.

You’re entitled to absolutely zero for your support of a sport. You get what crumbs the team and player chooses to release. That’s it.

They are people. Your opinion doesn’t remove their rights.

Now they're saying he'll be in Calgary but won't necessarily play. Which is fine. Take the time to heal.

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

I think Chytil is the 3rd most important guy on the team behind Igor and Panarin if we are gonna win a cup. But still way happier for Chytil the person to not have another concussion. That's the most important thing by miles and miles.

This 100 percent. This team has no chance to win a cup without Chytil. Unless Mika turns into Mika of 4-5 years ago. That "third" line could be the difference maker in a long tough series. His 200 ft play so far this season has been amazing.
Also can't you see Kakko's production going down 40-50 percent without Chytil?

The drop off from chytil to brodz was massive.
They were pinned in their end, brodz can’t play defense in any comparable way.
The offense looked ok, but they couldn’t transition similarly. Jones goal was the only bright spot but that was both mostly Jones and a really lucky bounce

As a someone who was a fighter, I can tell you first hand sometimes getting hit in the face can give you pain. Face. Jaw. Neck. Even a headache. But that does NOT mean it is brain (concussion) related. Being that Fil has had actual concussion issues, I would think ANY headache or pain in the area, stemming from contact to the head or face or whiplash, would inspire a GREAT deal of caution.
