Concussions are a weird monster of their own. The brain can literally heal itself in a day or take months. I am sure they are using computers and testing his cognitive function (Program called Impact). I helped get that sucker to all the local high schools when it first came out in trials.
What a perfect marriage of cocsine and player and city. Neal will never leave!
I guess this would point to Sid's varying levels of absence over the years re: the shots to his melon...frankly I am shocked (and happy) he is still playing at such the high level...especially when you watch his hand eye of late. Brain seems to be workin just fine lol...hoping Hags is ok both short and long term...
There are no hard rules in when a player is safe to resume function. The various bodies of medicine don’t have consensus. Normally would we would do is once their test scores came back to normal and they were symptom free x 1 week, we would clear the athlete to return.
Also, I know for a fact that the reason Sid was held out for so long was reoccurring symptom that also showed decreased impact scores. Casual fans hated he was out for so long, but look at him now. You would never know he had issues and he is elite. They were able to truely give him the green light safely. Old school methods, Sid would have been back playing in a week or so but would have really limited his shelf life on the back end.
What do you think on Tanger? As we know he's pretty much always been a free wheeler back there, but concussions have anything to do with that brain function ya think? Or maybe it's the for lack of a better term fear about his neck now? I know one thing, he has often made the oddball decision in the past but never at this sort of alarming rate imo...he just looks like he cant wait to get rid of the puck to me, and is caught out of position/burned on a regular basis. Perhaps he is just trying to do too much....not sure.
Honestly, that’s just him. They would never release him to play if he wasn’t at his pre injury baseline. He is what he is.
I went to game 2 last year. After taking game 1, I was expecting a loss. When we took that one also, man was their fans extra quiet on the walk out.
Ya...Nisk has become a real jacko over the years. I don't recall him being nearly as such back when he was with the good guys, but then maybe I just see our guys differently...or choose to see em differently lol. Regardless I would like to see a W injury free...and Geno if you're suiting up? Stay OUT OF THE BOX and show a cooler head! Maybe score a couple too
If we were looking to split, I bet he would have played.
It should be...in real time he was interfered with...on the replay did he have time to reset? Imo...Nope.
