Excuse me, phucks, he is in better shape than everyone who is posting comments, including me, put together. This is not about the person getting blind-sided here, it’s about the hit & the hitter. There are many ways to hide the severity of your check, and compound that by this big Goon’s hit from an unsuspecting player (no matter who) and you have yourself a great recipe for INJURY.. (con’t)..

… and as you can clearly see: HE DIDN’T HAVE THE PUCK, WAS TURNED THE OTHER WAY AROUND, WAS HIT FROM (generally) BEHIND. The Goon who hit him had EVERY CLUE as to what he was doing. Shame on the Goon. Shoulder made contact to at least the chin. WELL KNOWN CONCUSSION FORMULA!!! HELLO!!!! I’d be just as pissed if Sid the Kid made the hit btw.. These “subtle” fence-sitting checks are and should be punished by season misconducts. No arguments.

And to clarify, he was absolutely looking the other way – and the checker took FULL advantage of this, so earlier comment I made ‘from behind’ really refers to his feild of vision – as the Goon who hit him obviously moved on it in the seconds leading up to the hit. IT IS BLATANTLY OBVIOUS the GOON moved to hit him blind-sided. BAD DECISION and a well-know outcome, again. Shoulder-to-chin is technically a HEAD SHOT! Out the GOON should go.

I know people come into this discussion with pre-existing opinions and loyalties, but I would hope that people would not enjoy seeing serious injuries to ANY player from ANY hit whether clean, borderline, dirty, whatever. It’s sad, but seems many Crosby haters and/or Caps fans think that they are being passionate and holding to their “tough guy” mentality by insulting Crosby or being happy he’s hurt.

Concussion are no joke, at any level, in the world of sports or otherwise.

I would hope that especially as ppl are finally understanding that concussions have serious long-term impact on not only a person’s career, but their LIFE, that ppl would not treat this so lightly.

It is well-documented that you are much more vulnerable to head injuries if you are still recovering from an existing concussion. I believe he almost certainly sustained a concussion on the first hit (Steckel) then was at high-risk which is why the Hedman hit still was harmful but didn’t look as bad.

Last point: Even without the possibility of the multiple hits making the concussion worse, every head injury is different, ever person’s brain is different, and for people to call Crosby out for falling, acting hurt, being hurt, saying he “didn’t like” the hits, etc, is beyond juvenile, beyond neanderthal. This isn’t football camp in 1962. Any hockey fan should just hope that an all time great (ask Wayne, Mario, or anyone not carrying a Crosby vendetta) does not have his career damaged by this.
