No point really if that player is just going to sit in the press box.

Wouldn't worry much

Imagine Markov taking that kinda punishment. He'd probably be gone for 24 months.

Not calling up a player also results in more cap space available down the road as well I believe.

Didn't Gorges finish the game after the hit? I'm pretty sure he's going to play tomorrow...

Good news! Losing Gorges would be devastating to the habs D... Man is he one tough mofo! So glad we got him for Rivet

I loved Halpern heading down the tunnel. Trainer goes to help him and he gives him a look like "I don't need ****ing help, don't make me look like a *****".

Haha, yes! I remember reading their lips very clearly Halpern repeating 'I'm fine" and the trainer replying "No you're not" probably thinking this doofus clearly has a concussion and is trying to get out of it and get back on the ice. Then Halpern made a hilarious face like "what the **** are you talking about" and they were out of sight. It was very amusing, though I too thought he was definitely bluffing and would miss some time with a concussion after the way he went down...

Gorges is the toughest SOB on the entire team. If there's no concussion, you wont stop him from playing.
