Player Discussion Nick Suzuki Part 11

[Bombshell11]

Why was he not the one talking to the refs about the shootout goal instead of Gallagher.

Is he aware he’s wearing the C?

 

[DAChampion]

Is he playing injured?

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Is he playing injured?

He might just be gassed. I think the whole team is. He's been missing in action the past couple of games. But at least he can say he stepped up since 4 Nations. He and Hutson really carried the team down the stretch. Disappointed in Caufield. Great first half and played well after 4 Nations but then tapered off. We really need him to step up.

That open ice hit that Suzuki took on Chiarot concussed him - I'm pretty sure about it. He tried to play through it, but he hasn't been the same since. Hopefully, that board hit he took late in the 3rd yesterday didn't make things worse. He looked really off the shifts he played after that.

Yeah, he didn’t look right after that.

Hopefully CLB lose and he can rest up.

Again - if he was concussed, he wouldn't be playing. He wouldn't be allowed to.

It wouldn't be his choice.

This is a bit out of date but I can't think it's changed much.

That assumes the team even screened him for a concussion. Do you remember him going to the quiet room after he got plowed head first into the boards? I sure don't.

Didn't leave the bench IIRC.

You assume that he willingly disclosed that. I knew the next shift that he was concussed. The way he got up & the way he acted the rest of the game show multiple signs of a concussed player that kept playing. He avoided contacts and played in a way to protect himself since.

Not every concussion show the same symptoms. He could have a headache for ~30 sec to a minute after the contact and then feeling “ok” after while knowing something was wrong. He probably felt mild concussion symptoms (small headache when doing exercise) the next day only.

Before you ask, yes, a player can play through a concussion if the symptoms are mild but that doesn’t mean his body won’t react a certain way the following week(s) to avoid another head injury

Didn't miss a shift after the chiarot hit either, iirc.

If there was risk of concussion, I'd be surprised if the team didn't examine him.

You think he's concussed?

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Kids a beast , really rough past two games for him. At least Demidov can help him a bit.

Need somebody to step up badly and it's gotta be Caufield or Laine , you'd think somebody would help the poor captain out , literally dragged them to this position with Hutson

He's tired, possibly hurting. Played nearly 27min last game.

But he's going to step up against Carolina because he has to do what he has to do to close this season's chapter.

6th in the league for PPG over the 2nd place scorer on respective teams.
8th for raw totals.

This is one of the best offensive season for a Habs player since Lafleur. In recent memory theres Koivus 03 season that ranks high %/numbers wise but he wasnt as high league wide.

Compares a bit with the Damphousse season when he was 20 pts ahead of Bellows, and 20th in the league.
His 91 points roughly 84 for today’s equivalent.

Only a .15 difference in PPG though, Nick is .23 ahead of Cole.

I'm too lazy to go through every teams top scorer but I saw 5 in the top 10 of scoring, so I assume there might be a dozen.

 

[The Great Weal]

Captain Clutch. Was hoping he got an assist on that Evans empty netter to hit the 90 point mark.

 

[Dagistitsyn]

What a legend. He’s bringing a cup back to Montreal at some point.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Not sure if he's hurt but he's been off the past few games. Not a great game overall but he scored the most clutch goal of the season. He was damn impressive down the stretch. Absolutely amazing.

 

[Ozmodiar]

The legend grows. Saint Nick delivers another clutch multi-point present!

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Quick , get this legend in the recovery chamber. Hero of the city. Take some well deserved rest my king

He had some memorable goals down the stretch. That crazy game tying/winning OT goals from a couple of weeks ago was amazing. But tonight's goal was our biggest goal of the year. That turned everything around. Massive goal.
