wmarcello Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 There has definitely been some injury activity as of late, so I figured I'd create the thread. RDS recap of last night, showing each of the four incidents (Gallagher, Patches, Emelin, Armstrong). http://www.rds.ca/vid%C3%A9o/flyers-1-canadien-4-1.585966 And, according to Renaud Lavoie, Pacioretty did suffer a cut in his rib area.

wmarcello Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 So quick update on the 4 from last night. Looks like Gallagher is the worst off. From Dave Stubbs: From Brossard colleagues: #Habs Pacioretty, Emelin skating. No Price or Gallagher; no Subban, flu-like symptoms From John Lu: #Habs have no update to give on Gallagher's upper body injury at this time. Armstrong practising. Price and Subban both missing (flu). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmarcello Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 After watching the replay on Gallagher a few times, it didn't look like he was holding any part of his body when he went down. Where it's an upper body injury with no obvious sign of pain, I'm thinking concussion? Also, I'm a little surprised that Schenn and/or didn't get at least a call from the league for their hits.Video of the Schenn hit on Gallagher: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs_Hockey_Nutz Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Also, I'm a little surprised that Schenn and/or didn't get at least a call from the league for their hits. I'm not surprised... it was, it would appear, acceptable in terms of NHL standards which begs the question... what is the real deal on player safety anyways? Calling pucks over-the-glass even if accidental carries more weight to the powers that be and the non-official officials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roy_133 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Schenn hit Gallagher from behind. Suspension worthy. But wait....a Hab got injured...no call. The Moen hit was as (or close to as) dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest habs1952 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 The Moen hit was as (or close to as) dangerous. Looking at the replay Moen hit the Philly player from the side and it appears the Philly player puts himself in a vulnerable position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmarcello Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Don't mean to hijack the injury thread, but Moen saw Gustafsson's numbers all the way in from the hash marks. I can't believe he didn't get called for a hit from behind. Watch the angle at 0:31 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy_133 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Yep. Don't see how it was from the side. Both dangerous hits, neither called and I'd guess neither is reviewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTed3 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I don't even know if we're allowed to mention Pacioretty's name in this thread. He makes very brief appearances only. Too bad for Gallagher but not really a surprise from the way he reacted to the hit. I agree that Moen's hit was just as bad, and the refs missed both (or chose to ignore them). As I said in the GDT, the NHL has spent all kinds of effort trying to cut down on interference and as a result, the refs nitpick about very borderline calls. But they miss or ignore all sorts of hits from behind, head shots, high sticks, and knee-on-knee shots. These are the types of plays the league needs to get out of the game, yet they lack any kind of reliable focus on cracking down on this. In any case, I think Moen and Schenn both deserve a one game suspension. You can make an argument Schenn should get more because of the result (i.e. Gallagher being out with a concussion), since the league seems to factor that into its decisions. But to me, the hits are equally bad and the punishment should be mainly based on the action, not the result. Hopefully, Gallagher makes it back into the line-up soon.

Guest Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Somebody found the courage to open this sucker i see. None of the mods wanted anything to do with it. We were hoping nobody would notice. :P As for Pacman,,,,i'm surprised the cut didn't heal on his way to the change room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmarcello Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 At least I waited until there were actual injuries to report, so I didn't jinx anything. That said, with 4 out at the end of last night, possibly getting 3 of 4 back without losing any man time is pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've considered starting a separate Pacioretty injury thread where we would basically just discuss ideas for potential scientific advancements if we're able to synthesize his blood.

Noob616 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I was worried after the game but it doesn't seem that bad. Price will play backup because of the flu, we'll see about Subban, and Gallagher will be out. Not ideal, but I was worried that both Pacioretty and Emelin were going to be gone.

BigTed3 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Subban on the ice at practice, so looking up in terms of his chances of playing. Of note, Canes are not only missing Skinner but also Pitkanen and Gleason, both of whom were left at home in Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
