    Considering he’s in a non contact jersey. This feels fucked.

  4. BreakdownGhost

    He’s done. Focus on your health and family kid 🙁

  5. aeqz

    Jesus Christ. I know he’s worked hard to come back but even if this had nothing to do with the concussions, I’m just not sure he should play this year. The vibes are horrendous

  6. silverSparkle

    Fuck. If it’s concussion related (and i’m assuming it is), at this point I don’t think he should come back this season. Your future is more important than helping this trainwreck of a team atm

  7. iiKrOna

    Hate to think this way but if it wasn’t from a collision at what point does he start think retirement for his health first?

  9. iamdanabnormal

    It’s over.

    LTIR. Call it a career and live your best life, Fil. You’ve been a good one.

  10. 8teamparlay

    He needs to be LTIR and we need to move for a 3c

  11. ShouniAishaKuma

    Pack it up fellas – this is fucking awful news 🙁

  13. munsuro

    I really hate this for him. Poor guy just wants to work.

  14. FrankieFazul

    You have got to be fucking kidding me. I hope he’s okay.

    LTIR this guy immediately and make a move.

  17. shredmasterJ

    Fuck man. Really liked chytil since we drafted him.

    Really hope he calls it off this year and just recover.

    Not going to jump to conclusions until we hear more about what happened. That said, this is not looking very good for Fil or the Rangers at least in the short term. At least this gives the management a clear path as to what we need to address before the trade deadline.

    It is tough because Fil will be tough to replace and we are not one or two players away from having a championship lineup.

    How did not one of the multiple beat writers at the skate not see what happened?

    I hope he just got hit with an errant puck since he’s still in a non-contact jersey and it’s not concussion related, but no one really seems to know yet. Wishing the best for him.

    Just to clarify for the people commenting about it though, Chytil is already on LTIR. We can only commit to taking on equivalent salary if we’re sure he’ll be out until the playoffs. Unfortunately that does seem more likely now though 🙁

    A healthy and ready Chytil is still the best addition we can reasonably make to our lineup, everyone should be hoping he can come back as soon as it’s safe for him to do so.

    Seems like it was leg related, which honestly could be a good thing? It’s strictly better than a non-contact concussion flare up I guess.

    Says he was down on ice in pain 5-7 minutes and only two others on iceal at time. Doesn’t sound like it’s his head.

  27. impulse_thoughts

    Why does everyone think it’s a concussion? Did they ever announce the injury details? The tweet says he was down “in pain”… that sounds like a different kind of injury. And re-watching the moment that he was supposed to have gotten injured, it kind of looks like maybe some kind of a leg/knee injury could be likely. Maybe one of those tricky ones like MCL/ACL tears type of issue.

    edit: the video i linked got removed somehow? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRT3989oFyA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRT3989oFyA) (ugh. reddit’s new redesign causes the link to go all lowercase, screwing up URLs where case matters. you’ll have to copy paste that URL)

    Option A: This is concussion related and his career may well be over

    Option B: The poor bastard is basically cursed and sustains a non-contact injury 2 practices in after his concussion issues.

    Honestly…..it’s just fucked either way and I feel horrible for him. We’re bad enough at draft picks but when one literally dies (Chereponav) and your best draft pick at center in decades has his wheels fall off at 23, you question what burial ground MSG was built on at this point.

    I’m just happy the guy got his extension last year so he should have generational money coming his way and hopefully a job within the organization doing some sort of scout work in Europe

  29. G00dHumor

    why are y’all jumping the gun on this being a head related injury

    This is so sad. Dude dedicated his life to hockey and attained his dream. So young and he really does need to leave the game, at least for an extended amount of time.
