Injury Report: Jets health in the playoffs

[winnipegger]

Hopefully a mild concussion and he will be back with a days rest.

Sort of uncertain what Ehler’s injury is ? Ran into a guy at a shopping centre today, and he was wearing an Ehler’s Jet sweatshirt, and he thought it was an Achilles’ tendon injury ? I hope not, and if it is torn etc, he won’t be back. I don’t think it is, and I think it’s something with a deep bone bruise in the foot, or slight fractured tibia.

When Ehlers is on the ice, defenseman back off, and it opens up a lot of ice, and gives you time to make a play, or rush the net, and shoot. Also one of the few guys in the NHL, that has the speed to blow by defenseman, and charge the net, and shoot. This is why the power play is so effective when Nik’s In the lineup, and not effective when he’s out of the lineup.

Seems like a lot of posters are giving up on Ehlers resigning here, but I think there’s a good chance, and I hope he does. An electrifying, and dynamic player, loved by the fans, and all his teammates.

Sign the man Chevy, he puts butts in the seats, and brings in a lot of money for the Jets.

Offer him $ 9 mil, and I bet he signs, even though it may be a bit of an overpayment, but keeps the team totally together.

That’s a lot of money for a guy who can’t stay healthy when u need him.

This is what Gemini AI found when I asked about NHL concussion protocols

* Evaluation ("Quiet Room" Assessment):
* A player removed under the protocol is taken to a distraction-free environment, often referred to as the "Quiet Room."
* Here, the Club Physician and/or Athletic Therapist conduct an assessment using standardized tools, likely including the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT).
* This evaluation helps determine if a concussion has occurred.
* Even if initial testing is negative, if the player reports concussion-like symptoms, they will typically be held out.
* Diagnosis and Immediate Management:
* The team's medical personnel are solely responsible for diagnosing a concussion.
* A player diagnosed with a concussion, or showing clear signs, is not permitted to return to play or practice on the same day as the injury.
* An initial period of physical and cognitive rest (typically 24-48 hours) is usually recommended before starting any graduated activity.
* Return-to-Play (RTP) Protocol:
* Returning to play after a diagnosed concussion is a gradual, step-wise process that begins only after the player is symptom-free at rest and has been cleared by a physician to start the process.
* The RTP protocol involves several stages of increasing exertion:
* Step 1: Complete rest (until symptom-free).
* Step 2: Light aerobic exercise (e.g., walking, stationary bike).
* Step 3: Sport-specific exercise (e.g., skating without contact).
* Subsequent steps typically involve non-contact drills, followed by controlled contact practice, and finally full-contact practice/gameplay.
* The player must remain symptom-free for at least 24 hours before progressing to the next stage.
* If any concussion symptoms return during any stage, the player must stop activity and return to the previous symptom-free stage after a period of rest.
* Final clearance to return to full competition requires the player to be symptom-free throughout the entire RTP protocol, have returned to their baseline neurological function (often assessed using baseline tests taken before the season), and be cleared by the Club Physician.
In essence, the NHL protocol uses multiple layers of observation to identify potential injuries, mandates removal for evaluation based on specific signs, requires assessment in a quiet environment by medical professionals, and enforces a structured, symptom-limited, gradual return-to-play process only after medical clearance.

Yeah, that’s the problem. As much as I love Ehlers, I’d be very nervous, and maybe reluctant to sign him for the big bucs. Very difficult decision.

Sounds like best case scenario he's back for game 7 then if he has a concussion.

If he's out for 6 I'd like to see the boys grind out a gutsy win on the road to buy some rest before the Avs/stars next week

Notice that everything is symptoms-based with concussions. There aren't any good objective diagnostic tools... it's not like a broken bone that you can see on an x-ray or a ligament sprain that you can see on an MRI

If Schief says he's fine (whether he is or not), they can't really hold him out

I have a feeling that the spotter yanked him last night

they dont typically get yanked for an entire game if they're not seriously concussed. i'm praying it's not collarbone off faksa hit.

 

[SCP Guy]

If he was held out for concussion like symptoms almost zero chance he plays game 6....Not a good situation as I don't believe coach would have been so heated between periods if 55 wasn't hurt, Not just being held out as a precaution.

 

[Jet]

He may have failed the initial test, which would require him to be held out of play for the rest of the game.

It's super hard to predict what happens from here. I have had my bell rung in a game before and I doubt I'd pass any test, but didn't have any lingering effects. Then there are guys who have late onset symptoms that last for weeks or months.

I'm just hoping he falls into that the former.

So YOU say!

 

[WaveRaven]

I think it's the the faksa hit. He looked in pain on the bench. He sure took a shellacing for trying to deliver a hit.

We'll really see what they're made of if 55 is out.

The good news is that we did pretty well in the 2nd and 3rd periods.

 

[Buffdog]

No schief for game 6

It's criminal that Schenn doesn't get a suspension for that

Sends a message to the players that eliminating the opposing teams best player is a viable strategy

 

[UFO]

In times like these I wish we had a couple of goons on our roster.

 

[Truenorthducky]

The hockey guards just do not like us. We get a player back and then we lose our best player number one center and now we have a fourth liner as our number one center which I love names but just think about that for a second. Terrible terrible news on Chef.

 

[Bender Duster]

So who slots in - Kupari or Gus?

I think Kupari's speed would be an asset.

 

[Truenorthducky]

It’s not the first time we’ve played well in a couple of periods missing some players. It’s about sustaining it over a period including the next two games not gonna be easy.

Silence from the Department of Player Safety.

Why would there be there was no head shots involved in any. We just have to accept the fact that we’re gonna have to try and win with limited offense. Helly is the key factor here he has to let him no more than one goal.

he does make head contact

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Yeah, that’s the problem. As much as I love Ehlers, I’d be very nervous, and maybe reluctant to sign him for the big bucs. Very difficult decision.

Big bucks but shorter term. Minimize the risk.

They've nurtured Stanley all season to add a physical presence. All he does is get extra penalties in scrums while the Blues eat his lunch on the forecheck.

Schenn won't deal with his brother, and so far just has a couple of extra penalties from scrums. He's really struggled defensively, too. He doesn't have the mobility for this level of hockey.

The Jets are up 3-2 despite playing those two on the 3rd pair and the need to shelter Stanley makes Morrissey and Samberg wear down in heavy games.

Jets need to be more efficient in puck retrievals and zone exits to counter the Blues forecheck. Last night they got some odd-man transition opportunities as the game progressed. They need more of that to make the Blues pay for the hyper-aggressive forecheck.

 

[voyageur]

I think Kupari's speed would be an asset.

I'd like to see Kupari come in for the speed. I'd say the Jets need a RH faceoff guy but Vilardi did pretty good out there.

 

[winnipegger]

The blues were really clever and didn't take any major or suspension worthy hits. They just played like dirty rats and got borderline hits in whenever they could. Got away with only minor penalties. They've been targeting scheifele the entire series. Even though I want to see Adam Lowry ragdoll Schenn or even better have Luke do it, the best thing to do is go embarrass them in their own barn and end this.
