Let's Go Blues

Hopefully nothing or a mild concussion. Second for top draft prospects in two days. What's going on out there!

I thought they said this was likely nothing.

In the draft thread there are tweets posted that say he just had a charley horse and nothing more. So which is it?

If I had to guess, seeing as how this is the Blues, he probably has a concussion and will now continue to get them repeatedly whenever he's touched.

Dudes skating with their heads down, paying close attention to that carton of eggs they're carrying-that's what.

Aaron Ekblad too. I would be f*cking pissed if I were a GM. These undrafted Czech kids out there going to war with the Canadian junior team and, shocker, a bunch of kids end up hurt. No bueno.

Gotta make an impression somehow, right? I was always taught that on any level if you try to hot dog through the neutral zone with your head down, you're gonna get lit up. Some guys make a career out of it, ask Scott Stevens. That's basic hockey. Can't really find any fault with the hitter.

If you go to youtube and look up any highlight reels of Scott Stevens hits virtually every single one of them would be an illegal hit by today's standards. Dude was seriously a head hunter...

No need for youtube, I remember the hits including many illegal ones. But the legal ones outnumbered them probably 10:1 and I recall that a certain sort of fan cried about both the legal and illegal hits. I'm not a fan of the new rules on contact in any case-maybe I'd be more accepting if there were any sort of consistency to how they are called. Apparently, Olver's shot on Tarasenko wasn't dirty yet Torres' on Hossa-which looked pretty much the same to me-was the most heinous illegal hit ever. I knew what legal and illegal hits were in 1995. Now, not so much.

Concussion or charley horse, either way that's just frikkin peaches. Why can't anything ever work out for this damn team?

Did I miss the announcement that Fabbri's career is over or what?
