Oh god

Carkner couldn't be a more inaccurate comparison

Until Mcilrath proves otherwise he's not a very good defenseman that has the propensity to fight. I.e, Matt Carkner.

Those for Chris Stewart and Martin Hanzel say "I"

I'm all about Stewart. Hanzal is injury prone but at the right price I like him to.

Oh god

He'll be alright. Probably just an update on how is feeling.

Meh he's the number 1 defenseman on a pretty solid Wolfpack squad. He plays 20+ minutes a night against top competition in the AHL. He struggled in 1 NHL game but that 1 NHL game doesn't take away from his solid play all year long in his other 40-50+ AHL games

Dan Rosen: "Lundqvist says he had more headaches after game Monday and had more checkups. They found a sprained blood vessel and that's why he is out" - bolded piece is the key

#NYR goaltender Henrik Lundqvist says that had he continued playing, "sprained blood vessel" could have caused a stroke.

Is it sprained or strained?

sprained.

Per @AGrossRecord Lundqvist says he was at risk of stroke if he continued playing with sprained blood vessel....Lundqvist taking aspirin, can do light cardio soon... Lundqvist says docs will reevaluate him in 2-3 weeks and then decision will be made. He's finding it tough to admit he's out for a while.

I think they should look for veteran help. This could be a season long thing

Lundqvist said he had a scan, multiple doctors cleared him. Then a specialist discovered the injury, sent him for a second confirmation.

sprained.
