Leach27 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 They are hoping it's not concussion, say he has whiplash effect from simmonds.http://www.hockeybuz...-Giroux/2/40479 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 If the Flyers medical team diagnosed whiplash, I'm guessing Giroux has a high ankle sprain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dog Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 It has a concussion written all over it. And this time, in the Flyers' true fashion I must add, the injury was incurred from the Flyers' own player. Beautiful... Only here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leach27 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 @radoran Yah you right, it could be worst. He could have ran his skate blade across his throat. We are very lucky indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 @radoranYah you right, it could be worst. He could have ran his skate blade across his throat. We are very lucky indeed.He could have plowed right into him and resulted in potential serious injury to BOTH players.The person who made the mistake here - as Jackson points out - is Giroux, who missed a check.That said, I don't *blame* anyone for this. It's an accident. Accidents will happen*.Again, if you can tell me what Simmonds "should have done" in this situation to avoid any and all contact with Giroux, I'm happy to hear it.I'm not saying this isn't unfortunate. It's a split-second, bang-bang play. In short - it's hockey.It's just not anybody's "fault".* TM Elvis Costello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo1917 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Aren't there helmets and mouthpieces designed to lessen the impact of a shot to the head ?I think I remember Lindros of all people using the mouth piece when his career was winding down here. i know there are football helmets with extra padding inside that nearly everyone wears, i would think at this point i wouldn't care what it looked like so long as it helped keep my brains from sloshing around in my skull like a martini.i think hockey helmets will be my lunchtime useless research project.

Mad Dog Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) I agree with Rad. Watching the replay over and over again, I am not sure what Simmonds could do. There was no way he could've stopped as he was skating at full speed.Giroux will be fine. sh!t happens.

Leach27 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I can't believe some fans are not pissed to see the best player out with injury. How can you shrug and say "it's ok", like you don't even care. If we go on a losing streak i'm sure that will all change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertmega Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 @Leach27Leach I think a lot of people are pissed, but there is nothing anyone of us can do. Simmonds probably feels like the biggest a-hole right now and there really was nothing that he could have done to avoid the contact. If he slid, he would have wiped Giroux out from the knees. If he turns to the boards he risks injuring himself.Giroux missed the check and was in a bad spot, sh!t happens. He'll get better and this will all be a distant memory. Let's save the worrying for now and see if this team can maintain it's composure.Time for fat head JvR to step up his game, Voracek to finish, Read to continue being Read, and Cooter rising to the occasion.

FlyersFan4Life Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 stupid question. to give him more time would it be bad to pick up Michael Nylander??? he was in training camp with the flyers he played well with Jagr back in the NY days he'd prolly be cheap. rather have him out there then shelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
