Injury Report: The Injury Thread

No reason to play if not 100%. I'd even sit out players like Tanev and JT for rest reasons. Hoping nothing serious with McCabe because it would be very similar to losing Muzzin a few years back. It would be devastating.

Benoit and Myers as a 3rd pair is beyond terrible and I hope they look at Rifai and Villeneuve.

no one knows. He looked dazed AF after the ref collision and has a big history of concussions so speaking authoritatively like that seems stupid. The Leafs should have never let him back on the ice in that game.

No he didn’t. Where do you see that? The linesman bumps him and goes down, McCabe looks at him and takes a knee beside him out of concern. He looks fine and completely aware of everything. If anything was wrong with his head he would’ve left right then and there after the season he’s had.

athletes shake things off like that all the time when they shouldn't. That's literally why a concussion spotter was created, because they can't police themselves. There were a couple minutes left in a massively important game, of course he wanted to be out there.
 
Listening to Berube I don't think it's day to day really, he said day to day "right now" and then looked concerned. I don't think we see Jake the rest of the way regular season.
 
If Hakanpaa is going to be viable depth for the playoffs, he needs game time to get his conditioning up. Only so much you can do at practice. With McCabe on the shelf it might be a good time to rotate him and Myers in to get up to speed.
 
It sucks to lose McCabe at this point, but as long as he's healthy before the playoffs that's all that matters.
