So, how do we know it's not a concussion?

Cause Quinn said it wasn't. I recall it was some kind of neck injury. They are just being careful. He's been skating for awhile with the team. Couldn't do that with a concussion.

 

[ohbaby]

Crybaby is out. Injured.

Malkin too? We better not take this team lightly without them.

@Edge had some info in the Zbad thread I believe

I thought at beginning of season if he was stuck with those line mates he would struggle to score more than 10-15 points so 9 seems pretty darn close. After 14,15 games I would take the under

The last time NYR had a forward play 65+ games and fail to hit 10 points was Tanner Glass.

Bad linemates or no, he should still be able to be doing better than that. Pretty much only goon forwards survive those kinds of numbers. Halpern had 1 point in 30 games before NYR ejected him into space on an octagon.

PP needs to keep rolling. pitts PK is very good tho.

bend but dont break 5v5 and score 2 on the PP. PK well against a very poor pitts PP.

Georgie needs to be sharp. he usually is.

score 2 PP and 2 5v5. give up only 2.

thats the ticket to a win tonight.

4-2 win

@chosen

We frankly don't know 100 percent for sure.

I have to tread somewhat carefully on this, but the working belief of many people inside and outside of the organization is that the injury was a combination of a severe blow to his sternum/ribs, and whiplash to his neck. Those reports have not deviated, though there is some uncertainty of the severity.

Concussions are obviously devastating injuries; but I think it can be somewhat easy to overlook other very significant injuries, that don't include a traumatic brain injury, that keep players out for longer periods of time.

 

[GAGLine]

Over or Under Lias icetime totals 9 minutes ??

Over. The refs will give pittsburgh enough power plays that Lias will get plenty of time on the PK.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

10 bucks says Kakko tries that inward turn move on the PP again tonight.

He should; it's a damn good move.

 

[CasusBelli]

504-1 NYR

Buchnevich (417)
Panarin (53)
Chytil (32)
DeAngelo lacrosse goal (1)
Georgiev (1)

Might want to adjust those numbers a bit. Crosby is out.

So a combo of the 2 things I said he’s most likely suffering from?

I should become a professional injury identifier guy

 

[aufheben]

Expect big time games from Ken Wregget, Rico Fata, Pascal Dupuis, Jaromir Jagr, Marty Straka, Petr Nedved, Alex Kovalev, Luc Robitaille, and Tom Barrasso.

lol @ Rico Fata. Might as well throw Marc-Andre Fleury in here since the Pens started playing him when he was basically still a fetus.

 

[aufheben]

That he is. My question is... what is Kakko doing

Being 18 over a small sample size.

My confusion came from a few fans definitively stating that it was not a concussion.

LMAO that you think the refs are calling a penalty on the Pens on NBC Sports tonight

Probably not a few years ago, but now Crosby is getting dusty.

{Sigh} That's....kind of taken on a life of its own...

And I'll just leave it at that.

He's not event playing and I'll bet ya a beer that they get more PP than we do... ALWAYS happens but especially on NBC

Excuse me...

Our fans can barely predict the lines for the a game, so why do you doubt their ability to diagnose neurological injuries from parsing Twitter?

You have become a real negative nancy

I have a bad feeling about this game for some reason, like 7-1-loss-bad-feeling.

idk @EdJovanovski said we are going to score like 500 goals.

remember that time we played Pittsburgh in the playoffs and Chris Drury got high sticked in the nose and bled and nothing was called, so out of frustration, he crosschecked someone and was called for it? i think about that sometimes...

excited to actually sit down and watch a game for once.

Yet in the end, his weekend was not ruined.
