Injury Report: Injury Thread '24-‘25 (Post 1 has current injury status)

Whatever the timeline is for Nurse I hope he doesn't rush back. Potential brain injuries need to be taken seriously. We all trash Nurse and his contract but now we might actually see his real value to the team with him potentially out.

He was actually playing well too which really sucks because this will likely sidetrack his positive play and momentum.

Reaves is an absolute goon and should be retired, but here we are.

Reaves gets 5 but watching the replay in the suspension video... he clearly targeted the head... no mis-timing when he had plenty of time in his long skate up to Nurse... and Nurse was skating pretty slowly as well with the puck... easy enough to target the body there but Reaves chose the head shot instead.

Should have been a much longer suspension if the league actually wants that stuff out of the game.

Even Reaves demeaner after the hit was telling... he couldn't give give 2 shits about the fact he head-shotted Nurse and bloodied him... you could see he thought it was nothing by his reaction and the way he skated off... if it was actually an accident and he intended to hit the shoulder/body instead... you'd expect a tiny bit of concern at least.

It was an intentional goon hit to the head and with zero give a shit that it left the player injured and likely concussed.

Goon actions deserved a much stiffer suspension but "mis-timing" was the comment in the suspension video which says it all... NHL isn't actually serious about getting that type of hit out of the game.
