[Stein] Tom Fitzgerald says that he “does not anticipate” that Nico Hischier will be traveling on this four game road trip. Says he has to talk to medical team, and Nico will continue he to be evaluated day-by-day
Kevin Bahl and Erik Haula are on the ice practicing.
Beating a dead horse here but the medical team should not be letting guys that take head hits back in to games to get hit again. This was predictable. Even if nico said I’m good to play. U have to protect the player from himself and do what’s best for him and the organization. I have no doubt nico will be fine but repeated head hits are super dangerous. Especially when they are taken in a short timeframe.

That’s fine. It’s clear its not a concussion or anything but why risk anything else?

“Day-to-day”
Not going on a road trip that ends two weeks after the first day he was “day-to-day.”
If you haven’t learned by now, just ignore anything NHL teams tell you about injuries. When you see him in a game, you’ll know he’s fine. Until then it’s all just a pack of lies.

Why don’t they just put him on the injured list? Makes no sense at this point if he’s out 2 weeks minimum.

Ok let’s face it, Nico got a concussion. He got hit high and was flexing and touching his jaw on the bench. He got his bell rung again. We need a DOG on this team to start punishing opposing teams for this bullshit.

I’m not happy with this. But then again it’s not my head that got bounced off the boards like a tennis ball. Heal up, Nico. Your boys will step up.

Never understood why a player that directly caused the injury can return before the injured player.
Should be the same time frame, without pay plus a fine.

Is that witchcraft ritual still an option?

Bummer. He’s had his best seasons when healthy. Hope he comes back strong.
dooit
How do we even know it was the head hit? Didn’t he hurt his shoulder the game before?

And they still let him play for another shift/2nd period…. remember when Hughes took a knee to knee and they let him skate another shift towards the end of the season like 2 years ago? This medical stuff is awful.

Get well soon Nico

Time to trade for Ryan Reaves. Holtz for Reaves sounds about right.
And yes, I’m just kidding here. We all know it’s Luke for Revo.
