Here is the concussion protocol for the 2016-17 season.

If any of the following symptoms or signs occurs after a direct blow to the head
(including secondary contact with the glass, boards and ice) or an indirect blow to the
head (such as a blow to the body that causes acceleration/deceleration of the head), the
Club shall remove the Player from the playing environment for an acute evaluation

I don't see that spotters can not suggest a player get pulled for a check because they only hit the boards.

 

[joshjull]

The spotter did not have the authority to pull Crosby because his head hit the boards and not the ice. Really.

Yeah I was reading about that just now.

“Depending on the mechanism of injury, ‘slow to get up’ does not trigger mandatory removal,†NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told USA TODAY Sports. “The protocol has to be interpreted literally to mandate a removal. ‘Ice’ as compared to ‘boards’ is in there for a reason. It’s the result of a study on our actual experiences over a number of years. ‘Ice’ has been found to be a predictor of concussions -- ‘boards’ has not been.â€

Gotta love the lawyer/cavemen that run this league.

 

[joshjull]

you do you NHL :

That also looks like the ice played a role as well as the boards. But whatever.

Someone should run Bill Daly's head into the boards so maybe he'd understand they aren't made of Styrofoam.

Lundqvist with a huge save there

Tomorrow's winners go to the finals.

He would probably be concussed and has short term memory loss...

 

[kirby11]

Stepan's bad turnover in the o zone ends up in the net...possibly.
Review to see if Turris stayed on side

 

[Sabreality]

Rags are a mess.

 

[SundherDome]

Poor Lundqvist, every year they just waste his talents in the playoffs. Hope he goes Hasek and gets moved in the next few years.

 

[kirby11]

Rags are a mess.

Their offensive play reminds me of the sabres. They're relying mostly on puck retrieval, cycling, and point shots. Ottawa hasn't given them much off the rush.

 

[kirby11]

EK is so good

 

[Sabreality]

Phaneuf with another bad play up ice. Guys single handedly trying to give this away

 

[joshjull]

He is an animal. Unreal

[kirby11]

I doubt Ottawa can get past whoever wins tomorrow, but I'm glad they advanced. They've been pretty fun to watch.

 

[TheStorm]

I'm sure Vesey is glad he's on the Rangers instead of Nashville :p

The Sens have done a great job of drafting and developing key contributors in the later rounds. I think Marcus Foligno (rd 4) is the only player on the Sabres roster drafted after round 3 that can be regarded as a significant contributor. I hope Tim Murray left a few gems like these in the Sabres pipeline.

Mike Hoffman round 5 #130 overall 2009 NHL Entry Draft
Mark Stone round 6 #178 overall 2010 NHL Entry Draft
Jean-Gabriel Pageau round 4 #96 overall 2011 NHL Entry Draft
Chris Wideman round 4 #100 overall 2009 NHL Entry Draft

Re hire murray as a scout?!

 

[AustonsNostrils]

Re hire murray as a scout?!

Ron Maclean gave Tim Murray props on Pageau on Sportsnet's intermission panel a few games ago.

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

Re hire murray as a scout?!

Would anyone on this board not do this? But in the real world I can't see how that possibly happens LOL

Btw, wasn't he the driving force behind drafting Karlsson too or am I mistaken? He is definitely on the draft picture with Erik Taking the best D in the league in the mid first round is also quite a coup for Ottawa.

I was personally quite impressed with his drafting compared to previous years even if few have yet impacted the first team roster. Still can't believe he shot himself in the foot with defending and accepting Bylsma's antics.
