i have to question this choice.. mesz hasn't had a concussion this year?

The players were based on reports from The Concussion Blog, which is run by an ATC from Illinois, so the guy throws a few players on there who haven't officially been ruled concussed, but basically are (like Hiller, who has been listed as having vertigo and nausea to avoid saying concussion). So if he was listed as having an upper body injury at one point maybe?

possibly.. he's only missed one game though this season.. cant remember what that was for though i guess

regardless, that's quite a group of players

If I were to start an all-concussed franchise, I'd build it around Crosby.

 

[sportfan09]

the list is a fraud lol

Too bad they won't remember winning it.

About 10 of them usually have other injuries when not concussed.

Knuble was concussed? He broke his jaw, but that's all...atleast I think

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Somewhere, Eric Lindros is drooling in approval of this lineup.

Kind of hard to break your jaw without some concussion.

This I know from experience. Impacts to the head hard enough to break bones shakes the brains up.

Nice...Although if you bring up lindros I need to bring up Pat Lafontaine

 

[Destroydacre]

You can add Dan Boyle to that team.

 

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

Can Scotty Bowman be the coach.....didn't he get his skull factured back in his playing days with a hockey stick to the melon?....

He got hit with a puck in the jaw and I'm not saying its not possible for him to have had a concussion, but there were zero reports takling about him having a concussion. Also, he only missed one game and worked out durring the time he missed....

 

[johnnytata]

looks a little light on right wingers.

i think jarome iginla is being a little selfish and should take a concussion for the team.

This got me thinking, and it may be one sided, but in their prime, pre head trauma etc. who would you rather have on your team? Lindros or Lafontaine?

Top 3 point totals for each:

Lindros Lafontaine
115 148
97 105
93 93

Never got to watch Lafontaine, but if he were any better at keeping his head up...than him.

Peter Meuller's been concussed so long nobody remembers he exists
