Washington vs Wiles Barre GNT....

[Forty_Sixand2]

Vertebral process, yeah. But that's just a season ender, not even CLOSE to career ending. And trust me, that was my response to my mom. She emailed me what her co-worker had sent her and my response was this:
"I'm telling you it's not true. And, as I stated in my overly long text, if those are the injuries it's not a career ending thing. Repetitive concussions and brain damage are, but minor brain bleeding or a cracked skull are just long recoveries. Unless this lady knows a trainer who mouthed off, Ray Shero, or Mario Lemieux, I don't believe it. Also, a cracked skull would NOT happen when you look at the mechanism of his injuries. *Goes into geek mode* A concussion can occur from any motion which causes the brain to slide against the skull...think of it like a brain bruise. In Sid's case, the first hit he took was a "whiplash mechanism", which is what also caused him to have neck pain. The second hit was more of a compression mechanism, in which his face was smushed against the boards. NEITHER of those would lead to a cracked skull unless the guy has osteoporosis. I trust your co-worker knows someone, and that they said something, but this is just the typical overreaction that occurs when a high profile player is out for a significant period of time. There is a possibility that this injury will affect Sid's career going forward (in fact, I guarantee it will), but it's not due to the things listed there. Bleeding in the brain is an acute injury (it can become chronic, but we're talking about people in severe car accidents, or brutally beat) and is taken care of surgically by a burr hole, which Sid didn't have done. If Sid didn't have this surgery (which would've DEFINITELY gotten out into the media, especially Canada), then he didn't have brain bleeding. I could believe someone saying that he's being shutdown for the year due to concussive symptoms, but because I can easily debunk the reported injuries, which kills the credibility of the report. Sorry, I'm passionate about this stuff I guess."

I may not be an expert on this stuff, but I've spent every day of my last 2 years learning about this type of stuff. I mean, my future profession is this stuff exactly, so I'm just debunking left and right. The co-worker lady seemed so confident, but come on.

So then we are in agreement, I think? Clearly it is a broken toe?

Yes...that combined with a stress fx to the pinky, definitely career ending.

Doesn't really help because I wasn't paying attention, but I did hear them say something about it...no details though, sorry

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I am snowed in too...so you know...fuck...no "bites n brews" tonight.

Also, for the record, I don't se this game getting ugly. These two teams are too good and too respectful in my view to let it get out of hand. Will it be physical...NO DOUBT! Will it be a brawl....no way. A right or two maybe and hard hitting for sure, but there is no Matt Martin, Trevor Gillies or amy talentless hacks on either of these teams.

I caught the very end of it. i'm just speculating since they traded for a winger, sid may be coming back?????

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

They said That the pens wouldn't add a winger if Crosby wasn't close. That's a hell of a turnaround from an open, compound skull fracture and bleeding eyes.

DJ king is nothing like those kids. He fights but he is way too slow to cheap shot anybody.

Backstrom v Cooke off the opening faceoff. Lets do it!!!!
