Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LXXXVIII: The Liaison of Doom

[TCTC]

If that knocked Zegras out of the game, he needs to hit the weight room, that was not a vicious hit.

From the picture I can't even tell who's hitting who... Who's the other guy?

Obviously Lindros' problem was a lack of lifting weights. Definite smallboy, right?

What kind of stupid bullshit is this? Lifting weights and adding muscle isn't going to stop a player from getting a concussion from a hit like this.

Concussion can be caused by body hits too

Because concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), it’s often assumed there must be a blow to the head to cause its effects. But that is not the case.

Lindros problem was head shots, that was a shoulder to the chest.

Wrong



Lindros' downward spiral was triggered by a shoulder to the chest.

Smallboy, should have lifted weights, etc. Maybe Anaheim should have tried soaking Zegras in a hotel tub with a collapsed lung and then given his trainer Zamboni cancer.

 

[DancingPanther]

You’re useless.

Your

Hit looks pretty clean to me.

Elbow. If there's an alternate angle I'll gladly change my tune as you know

 

[Curufinwe]

Lindros problem was head shots, that was a shoulder to the chest.

Lindros' problem was each concussion made him more susceptible to getting another one, and they weren't all caused by head shots.

Take a break from the muscle man fan fiction, and go read up about whiplash.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Flahr would have Zegras rub food on it and have him get back out there

Woof.

Do people's heads not hit the ice anymore either? Lol I could push someone in the arm and if their head bounces after the land it's still lights out

Shoulder

No

 

[Beef Invictus]

Even without hitting the ice, a fast skater at speed coming to an abrupt stop can mess a lot up. It doesn't matter how ripped you are, humans aren't meant to run chest first into a meaty pole at 25mph. You're likely to get hurt on a hit like that in a wide variety of ways, especially the whiplash.

jvr at breakfast ?

 

[Shrike]

Everybody’s got their own opinion of the broad street people. But listening to Bill and Kelly explain why the Flyers have sucked so far was hilarious and true.

Kelly “Tortorella has hasn’t put in his system yet, He hasn’t taught these idiots to play hockey yet”

Bill “because he’s still beating the shit out of them”

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Chaos.

Live look at Zamula's development program:

Nah, that's JVR after breakfast.

Chaos.

PP1 is Provy and Anisimov on D and PP2 is Provy and Braun with Risto net front.

Sanheim soaking up knowledge from the pressbox.

He might be my favorite Flyer ever. Dude…had absolutely no chill in his game. The sheer level of madness & reckless abandon he played with was wild. Playing the way he did, just lends itself to injuries. It sucked but it’s what happened. If he dialed it back, even a little bit, he’d have had a longer career. Love him, but that dude was insane.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Is there a more forgotten good player than Scott Gomez?

One of my favorite HFBoard memories is Chris Schafer and Jester going back and forth over Jester saying Giroux having a "Scott Gomez" type of career because of a lack of a shot would be the most realistic "best" outcome we could expect.

Chest. Hits. Can. Cause. Concussions.

Saw that one live !!
