Chytil's "thing" is a head injury. His fifth. He's 24-years old. Forgive me for not seeing much of a silver lining here.

Agreed.  And considering he was just signed to an extension it’s not looking like a great contract if the guy can’t stay healthy.  So far he’s shown no ability to stay healthy really at any point in his career.

I’m concerned if Chytil’s injury is serious they may trade Quick for some journeyman center.  While it’s just the start of the season it’s been awesome to have a dual lights out tandem with potential to be like Richter/Beezer or Hank/Talbot.

You just never know. 

Crosby had several early on in a short span and didn’t have another for quite some time.

Not sure how to do it but some how they have to teach Chytil how to brace himself better for contact.  

[Ozzy]

Ah Shit!!  I was hoping for better news on Fox.  I figured Chytil was gonna mis some time.

 

I didn't see any hit to the head on the collision with Fast, but it may have been one of those "jarring" of the brain type concussions that @Pete mentioned in another thread.  Whatever it is, it's not good for the kid.  His fucking brain may be jelly by the time he's 28 at this rate.

 

The words "Fox" and "LTIR" should never be seen together.  The only 2 antonyms that will be accepted going forward will be "Jumbo" and "shrimp"! 

 

Needless to say, I'm not exactly thrilled with the news...  Fuck it!  It's Mika time anyway!  Watch him go on a heater over the next 10 games!  Drag the damn team with him too!!!

Zibanejad had the same issues as Chytil when he was younger. A lot of concussions. Hopefully Chytil’s injury frequency clears up like his did.

I wonder how many of Mika's were ones where he got hit hard or hardly hit?.   It's a bummer that we're in the phase where we are just waiting for Chytil to break down.  This last one was an excuse me collision on both sides and far from a blind side neither saw it coming.

Does Chytil definitely have a concussion?  Was he out during training camp for a concussion?   I hate how players get hurt in the NHL and it’s like they go into the witness protection program.

Almost certainly… slight possibility it’s not.

But that’s probably what it is.

I would bet money it is and that the training camp injury was too.  How hard is it for them to confirm it?  NFL tells you if a player is wearing a band aid in a game.

NFL has to.

Because of the comprehensive injury report… which is 100% connected to gambling 

 

NHL doesn’t do anywhere in the same galaxy as the NFL in that regard, so they don’t have the same parameters.

 

They can be more nebulous in that regard.

Plus, and it’s the same as the NFL, you can easily target guys, if the injury is part specific. Not that you can’t in other areas, or that guys would, or guy’s playing against them can’t tell what’s bothering someone.

But it’s a form of protection.

This is what scares me. He’s not usually getting laid out and hurt it’s on minor stuff.

He takes some of the strangest hits though.  He had the one a couple of games ago where he literally got bent over and had his skates and his hands on the ice at the same time.

He tries to avoid contact at all costs. When someone has the audacity to make contact with him odds are he'll break.

The team was lost defensively tonight without Adam Fox.

I think it was more a team speed thing.  However Schneider at 19 minutes played was over-exposed and I think Zac Jones is just over-exposed at the NHL level.

I have a little more time for Jones. He's been in the press box for how many games? I give him a couple of games before it determining anything.

All I know is that almost every time my spidey-sense was tingling about a bad situation around the Ranger net #6 was in the picture somewhere.

That's fair, I only watch the condensed game from last night. I have it on DVR so I will watch the full thing later.

He had a brutal game but yea it’s tough getting thrown in after not playing a while. 
 

we got a point chaulk it up to being down a few guys and move on

We can do this for another game or two however the defensive breakdowns are going to damage the team if they continue because this is a defense-focused team.

What are you talking about? Lafreniere told them they were big dummies. 

I’m talking about responding to the cheap hits by Carolina. 

[RangersLEETCH]

Telling someone they are big dummies is not a response … it shows your a wimp and allow a team to take liberties at you..should never be accepted

I dont like this talk of any kind of season being in jeopardy.  Is there a 'panic' reaction?
