jack hughes injured bad it seems..

[jetsforever]

Not good, hope it isn't too bad

Open Season on Devils star players.

Everyone just standing around watching their franchise player get taken out into the boards.

I dont care if its accidental, or with zero intent, you gotta let everyone know that nobody is even allowed to breath near your superstars.


Pathetic

agree but wrong era. Those days are pretty well done.

 

[DitchMarner]

Damn, that blows. This guy is one of the best players in the League, but injuries are preventing him from putting together elite seasons.

 

[Canadienna]

It wasn't even Eichel's skate that tripped him.

This thread is ridiculous. So many confidently incorrect people.

 

[nbwingsfan]

Does Eichel do that on purpose though? Looks more freak/incidental.

Not even close. No idea what Keefe is complaining about

 

[lawrence]

it looked like his right knee gave way for whatever reason which resulted in Hughes slowly crashing into the net. Eichel battling for position or at least taking Hughes angle away. It didn't look like Eichel was trying to hurt him or anything. I hope hughes is ok.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Any update on Hughes status?

 

[andora]

This guy needs to start playing smarter based on his speed and lack of physical strength, you watch them enough and you see that he is so reckless. Now please don't come at me because of the freakishness of this play but they're starting to mount up with how often he gets knocked around how often he puts himself in bad positions

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

Ya, more mass colliding with the boards leads to better results. This is science, I’m definitely not just trying to be Brochad Getbig on the internet here.

Anders lee had a similar spill tonight tripping into the boards from the goal line. Right up

 

[pekka55]

Hockey is a sport where players collide multiple times a game, usually at high speeds. Injuries are common. Somehow this still comes as a surprise to a lot of fans.

 

[Zalos]

J. Hughes is definitely not a very lucky hockey player.

 

[Hugh Mongusbig]

Not surprised. The kid can't stay on his feet.

 

[behemolari]

They just played together at the 4 nations and Eichel stayed there after checking that he was OK. No malicious intent and looked like 2 guys playing hard and bad result.

Keefe blew a gasket as Hughes was involved in a very similar play earlier in the period and Hughes was penalized leading to a goal against on that PP.

Inconsistant reffing from Wes? Say it ain't so....

easy to prevent, dont be so Jack and skate slower

 

[ORRFForever]

So many confidently incorrect people.

That sums up HF in a nutshell.

 

[tarheelhockey]

It wasn't even Eichel's skate that tripped him.

If wasn’t Eichel’s skate that caused Hughes’ to splay sideways, sending him tumbling over, then what did?

 

[Avs2022]

I hate the Golden Knights (rational Avs fan here), don't like Eichel at all. That was purely accidental contact.

 

[Ratsreign]

If wasn’t Eichel’s skate that caused Hughes’ to splay sideways, sending him tumbling over, then what did?

Hanifin’s skate coming across from other side of the crease

 

[Canadienna]

If wasn’t Eichel’s skate that caused Hughes’ to splay sideways, sending him tumbling over, then what did?

 

[surixon]

So, never played hockey?

I separated my shoulder and was off the ice for 5 months on a surprisingly similar not that bad, nonchalant impact with the boards.

I separated my shoulder after face planting after my skate got stuck in a rut. I agree it doesn't matter how nonchalant something looks its quite easy to dislocated or separate something.

 

[surixon]

I have never played hockey, so I may be totally off here, but to me it looked like Eichel was trying to stop or at least slow down and in the process his right skate made contact with Hughes' right skate and they both ended up losing balance and crashed into the boards. Hughes got the worst of it and the injury is of course extremely unfortunate, but it wasn't a malicious play by Eichel, and I am not even sure I would call it reckless, though a case could probably made for that.

I hope Hughes recovers quickly and most importantly fully.

Yeah it wasn't malicious but likely should have been a 2 minute tripping penalty.

 

[Ratsreign]

Yeah it wasn't malicious but likely should have been a 2 minute tripping penalty.

If it was called 2 minutes for tripping, it would’ve been on Hanifin

 

[robertocarlos]

Some small guys never get hurt. Did Patrick Kane ever get injured?

 

[Fatass]

Kane played wing.

Pathetic

Does this actually work? Do players decide to not play physical with star players from other teams cause they are oh so scared of being jumped by a goon from another team? I'd be surprised if someone made it to this level of hockey but is terrified of physicality. Would Eichel not try to play defense there simply because he is afraid that another hockey player might punch him a couple times?

 

[Dialamo]

Welp it looks like it's gonna be a historical collapse for the Devils this season.... Oh well! Not like I can do anything about it!
