Fantastic

“@DarrenDreger: Stepan, obviousy a tough young man to hang in there and play most of the game without complaint after suffering a broken jaw.”

Hopefully taken into consideration on today's phone hearing. Nothing like a fourth-line plug taking out a #1 C

 

[Hire Sather]

MTL got their win and they got their injury, exactly what they needed.

 

[Bluenote13]

Damn, just thought it was really swollen

Well, that sucks ass now doesn't it ?

Injury karma.

“@KatieStrangESPN: #NYR Asked Vigneault about letting Stepan back into game. Said that docs checked him out, cleared him to play. Wasn't sure if X-rays taken”

 

[Miamipuck]

Well there's that. good lord.

 

[nevesis]

He will be able to play with a broken jaw. Just needs a full shield/cage.

Terrible news. An angry Stepan is a hell of a player. Hopefully Brassard is able to play in the next game.

Side note: Bookmarking this for the next time someone calls Stepan "soft". Broken jaw and not only finishes the game, but lays a monster hit on Emelin after getting back on the ice.

 

[Hire Sather]

and i truly believe they made it a goal to injure someone

to get revenge on price and to even the odds

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Suspend that piece of ****.

 

[silverfish]

Is there any way the NHL can re-evaluate the phone hearing to an in-person with this news?

 

[nevesis]

“@KatieStrangESPN: #NYR When pressed about Stepan's status for Sunday and remainder of series, Vigneault said team would know more after surgery today”

“@KatieStrangESPN: #NYR Stepan did have X-rays last night that came back negative. He was sent for more detailed scans today, which revealed the fracture”

 

[CJCNYR]

4th line scrub intentionally hurts #1C. What a joke

The piece on nhl.com says they reserve the right to make any adjustments needed.

They'll probably keep it a phone hearing and bump it from nothing to a fine LOL

Didn't Kreider come back from a similar injury relatively quick while in college? I hope Stepan, that softy, will do the same.

 

[LORENZO]

So ****ing annoyed.

 

[lovethehype]

Wow man.

 

[aufheben]

Please tell me he can still play...

I don't think so. Plus they have cages.

 

[TheTakedown]

I wont who slots down to the first line... ****..

 

[TeamStewie]

I'm sure the Habs fans are still saying he was milking it when he got hit.
