Player Discussion Patrik Laine

fat tony would not recant his "gone for season" plays it out that the 2nd opinion was the key

would not admit he was wrong

Exactly. You have people skating at you every second, the system cant tell if they are going to poke check the puck, hit you or simply guard you one on one. Players are allowed to skate right by you and it doesnt mean they are a threat, but they could very well be. If it keeps buzzing, then its useless because the player wont react when its needed.

Without mentioning the culture - players are creatures of habit.
They had to be forced to wear eye shields, they wear 10 year old protective equipment, very few wear neck guards.

Also, would it drown out, or distract from, communication with teammates?

Savard would toss the gadget into the 10th row. lol

Wow. I really hope there is no setback.

I remember when Carey was day to day, only to play 5 games and end his career...

Tony is entertaining sometimes but I don't ever trust him for inside info

Tony The Cannoli Gobbler having his meltdown this morning was funny.

So as opposed to best 2 out of 3 I'd like to think the 1st person said looking at the initial images it looks like surgery and out for the year, but if we let the swelling go down a few days we will get a better idea. Then opinions 2 and 3 . I'm hoping ?

Going by Hughes interview with Godin, the first diagnostic was right after they pulled him into the room during the game and I get the impression it was more "guts feeling" then a deep evaluation the way he is talking. But Habs always send the players to a knee specialist to have a 2nd opinion anyway. It was that specialist who said "no surgery, only a sprain" (probably on Sunday, since Laine was at practice Monday). Since they didn't quite believe that, they sent Laine to a 3rd specialist Tuesday who confirmed.

I sort of wish it was more of a goldilocks scenario where one of the three specialists was like, ' Never seen a healthier knee in my life, get back out there kid'. Crave would make an episode per specialist.

I have expertise in deep learning-based human pose estimation. Here is one of my papers in the area, as it relates to geriatric fall detection. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10388590
I am the third author. This was originally my idea, including the choice of deep neural network architecture, though the San Diego State people did the implementation.

This kind of processing can work with simple digital video, even though we've done it with 3D range-sensing in our on-going work.
It could easily be a hockey player, and the software algorithm could easily run on embedded processors in the clothing. In my opinion, it could run fast enough to alert a player of an oncoming impact in under 1/10 of second.

The Habs could actually be innovators in this area, or they can finish at the top of the IR list in the NHL again. My vision of this problem is starkly different from yours, or the team's, which I consider passive, if you'll pardon the pun.

I've never heard of this before today, but now I'm envisioning an AI algorithm tied into the video feeds from the players helmets. The AI watches the game around the player, anticipates contact that is outside of what is considered a typical hockey "pose", and alerts the player of the impending contact? Is that how it would work?

Even if all a player does is tense up, that could definitely reduce the whiplash style injuries that result from unexpected contact.

From a couple hours ago. Also his Fiancee said she would reveal some behind the scenes about the diagnosis to show what athletes go through in terms of mental health.
