The kid is going to be a premier player in the league in short time. Yea, I'll take him.

No argument there but using that play as an example to want him is asinine.

Just to piggyback from yesterday's blog, I would imagine once #7 steps on the ice for his 1st shift he'll get dealt with. If not no big deal.

Getting someone when they aren't looking is a total punk move. Just like to see him square off many y mano.

Honestly, I'm not concerned with it, and I definitely don't want a player in the lineup simply for that purpose. I did like how the team came out much more physically immediately following the hit.

Konecny out indefinitely. Of course it's worst case scenario. When isn't it

Exactly - let him get his arse handed to him a few times to get that ish out of his system first

Not surprised. Looking at his face/eyes immediately after the hit I knew it was not good

Would be better off with a dislocated shoulder. At least with that there is a timeline on when he can return.

Worst case scenario is being dead, like the guy you named yourself after.

Time for Nolan Patrick to hike up his panties, pop a Tylenol, and get back to playing.

Seriously though now would be a good time to return.

You'll probably see Bunnaman or Twarysnki called up.

While the hit on TK was not penalized on ice, the league issues a fine limited by the CBA. TK probably out for an extended period. Why not a suspension for a guy who is a noted head hunter? Look carefully and note that it was late, and yeah back in the 70's and 80's no one would have blinked! But with the issues concerning head injuries someone needs to take a stand. Tkachuk awesome player, takes liberties, but not trying to kill anyone.

No clue, and I'm not saying the hit was or wasn't dirty by saying their heads collided. Just really didn't notice until now; Didn't catch the game live because of a wedding. I do think the hit was late however.

I know. I didn't realize their heads collided. I assume Borowiecki is injured as well.

I don't think the head contact is what caused it. You can get a concussion just by being hit in body.

Yeah man, makes the hit seem much worse after seeing that. I also didn't know Borowiecki left the game with a face cut from TK's visor?

Why would Boro get a suspension? Both players smacked their heads against each other. Both got hurt and went to the dressing room. Boro did come back. Hit was late but not malicious in any way

He returned to the game early in the second period.

Is there a degree of concussion? Because that one TK took looks as bad as it can get. He could be out for a very long time with that one.

AV and Provy both said TK seemed ok today and was high in spirit. I guess thats one good sign?
