Injury Report: Milan Michalek- **Update** Out with Concussion

[Ghost in the Shell]

@SunGarrioch Michalek not on ice for opt. skate. Won't play 2nite. Don't think upper body news is good. #Sens

[Minister of Offence]

Any chance he's concussed?

[Mercurial]

Don't think so, i'd have to watch the collision again to be sure.

[The Reg Season SC]

Unfortunate I was hoping he could have held on to the scoring title for a while

[The Expert]

Awful news, ****.

[RedWhiteBlackGold]

Did anyone see how he got hurt last night? I missed parts of the game but think it was the start of the 3rd they said he wouldn't be returning.

It looked like his shoulder really took the brunt of the hit. He practically landed with all his weight on it

Not sure. He played a few shifts after the Karlsson hit. I know Potvin was speculating that it was a slash to the leg that did it, but we'll have to wait and see.

Awkward open-ice collision with Erik Karlsson, he fell down in a heap (if I'm thinking of the right play, if not my bad).

Bobby Butler will never get a better chance to redeem himself.

Lets just hope the team is being cautious...

[Minister of Offence]

Concussed.

Per twitter.

[CanadianHockey]

Being tweeted by Mendes that he's got a concussion.

[Dionysus]

Brutal timing. Has the league lead in goals and goes down before the game is out. He has been so good this season.

[Duchess]

Dammit, dammit, dammit.

[Ghost in the Shell]

****, it could be a while. day to day could mean anything.

[Iamok]

- Michalek
+ Butler

We're screwed.

[Mercurial]

Day-to-day.

[Minister of Offence]

This is really starting to show you that before the past couple years....every team had players playing through concussion symptoms every game.

Fix the ****ing helmets. They couldn't protect the head in a bike accident.

[magix]

****

[Ghost in the Shell]

At least Maclean thinks he won't be out long. Never can be sure with concussions though.

[OmniSens]

Who knew Karlsson had it in him


This sucks!!

[MatthewT]

I knew Michalek leading the NHL in goals was to good to be true

Michalek is wearing a CCM, which are pretty good helmets I dont know if you've ever had one ?? but there is some good protection in it.. It was a pretty damn fast and strong collision with Karlsson and he hited the ice strong too... I think that it is more the shock with Karlsson than anything else..
