No word on what is wrong with Hamhuis yet. I'm not seeing a head injury in that play. Maybe his shoulder...
Hope he's alright.
UPDATE: It is a concussion according to Vigneault post game. DAMN IT

To me, it looks like a knee injury. Bieksa’s 200 lbs and he falls awkwardly onto Hammer’s leg.

I just put up a recap-ish/fanshot of Captain Hank’s goal.

Certainly hope so
He seemed like he got up and off the ice under his own power.. that’s a good sign, I guess
You can never tell with concussions though
Especially with a guy who has had 4, two in this season

I imagine they keep him out for the regular season...
But do you think he’s back for the postseason?
I would think
The symptoms would have to be pretty severe for a player to miss the entire playoffs for a team that’s not only a contender but a favorite to win the cup.

i saw in an somewhere if he ever had another concussion, that he would really consider leaving hockey
I remember that too.
If it’s a relatively mild one sit him until the first round.

It's not possible
To know anything in terms of timeline. Look at Crosby. I’m sure the fact that he never lost consciousness is a good sign but when you’re dealing with multiples like in this case, who knows? Also with the new protocol and being so close to the playoffs it could just the organization being uber safe.

I dunno why
He seemed alright and there’s no reason to force him back into a meaningless game. The fact that bieksa was downplaying the retirement thing when asked makes me think it’s not too bad. When manny got hurt you could tell from what the players and av said how serious it was. I don’t think there’s any reason to assume the worst in this case.

Hamhuis has said he would consider retirement if he felt he was risking his quality of life after hockey. “If there is more [concussions] to come, I think you have to take a look at what is important,” Hamhuis, the father of two, said after suffering a concussion last month when his head struck the glass on a heavy check by Ryan Getzlaf. “If I ever felt like it’s like putting myself at risk long term, then I’ll have to step back and think about things.”
Yeah, this is what the province has on that.

ironically
with a top 4 defenceman injured, Keith Ballard’s minutes will now actually decline.

#WinitForManny
and I am starting to wonder about the whole “reduced ice time because he was mentoring Tanev” as Ballard’s ice time is still less than Milford Man’s…

#WinitForManny
That never sounded right to me either but Ballard has played much better lately.
by Canuckelhead on Mar 27, 2011 7:04 PM PDT up reply actions
Made sense to me
but I was expecting him to pick up a tad more time to spread out the ice time down the stretch when the D got healthy and Tanev drew out.
<3 Boobies!
#WinitForManny
The whole ice time debate is specious as well.
Its only because he does not play PP time. He had over 20 minutes…still a little less than the others, but that is totally PP ice time.
Canucks are not playing a forward on ant PP configuration any more.
I am OK with Rome getting that time too. His shot is accurate, it was #3 in speed behind Hoff and Sami, and he will lose that time when Edler returns anyhow.
Ballard has been awesome. Today with the 5 Dee, he was on more than once with the Twins…and had another great game.

Speaking of Edler
And perhaps relevant due to the as-yet-unknown duration of Hamhuis’ injury…
Have we heard anything recently on Edler’s progression? It’s been near 2 months now since he went out, and at the time I’d heard 8-10 weeks for an approximate timeframe.

All the writers
Were saying he wouldn’t be playing until the playoffs. Practicing on his own with Alberts for now and probably with the team again after the road trip.

I've heard it could be 3 or 4 games
left in season when he is ready to get some conditioning. Down on the farm for cap reasons. Maybe if Hammer is on LTIR (hopefully not) Edler gets that conditioning with the big club?

Good point
but you must be able to get some sort of salary relief if a guy is out long term and there are 8 games left. Otherwise that’s a huge disadvantage if a team is at the cap a guy goes down with 6 games left and they can’t call anyone up. Could theoretically cost a team a playoff spot.

Well this sucks. Really unfortunate for him, 2 concussions in such a short amount of time : ( Maybe he can come back a month from now?
We don't know anything yet
The guy has a “concussion”, but there has been no real info..could be minor as much as major.
Hope he is OK…but I hope this is not the start of another round of Chicken Little running around for some Canuck fans

Honestly if he is concussed again
after that hit which didn’t look very bad I kind of hope he considers retiring. I would rather see him head off into the sunset still in control of his faculties than ruin the rest of his life. It would suck for the team but some things are more important.
On the other hand I really want to win the cup.

He had the force of two guys go through him and fold him in half.
Its going to take anyone out for a bit.
If the docs prognose, and he decides thats enough, that is one thing. But not every damn player that gets a concussion, or two, or even the four in his career…
It depends. They have grades just like sprains of ligaments.
I take a more wait and see on all that. Every situation is different. Because he gets a “concussion” today does not mean he is Brett Lindros…

If he was hurt
somewhere other than his head I would agree with the first line. But all that happened to his head was it hit the ice. And not even that hard. And his helmet hit first. If that lead to another concussion it is getting into that territory where he should consider it. Even if it is just a mild one it shows that he is getting more and more prone.

Not only did the side of his head hit the ice,
he also had his head bent when it was forced between Nash’s sizable torso and Bieksa. Lots of potential for damage there.
I don't think having your head bent
(if it is possible to bend a head) would cause a concussion. Not enough force there to get your brain sliding around.

Well
I was reading somewhere (here?) a guy’s account of his own concussion experience. He basically said that he got a mild one (probably similar to Hammer) and then for about a year falling down and really hard hits triggered symptoms. He spent a year conditioning but no contact and came back fine for 5 years now.
Don’t forget he just had a concussion a few weeks ago and could be close to, but not at 100%.

#WinitForManny
Yeah see
Watched that thing a few times, and don’t think his head hit the ice at all…more his back.
I would think the damamge was from the force of two big men going through him, and the whiplash…I think I read somewhere that not all concussions involve direct contact to the noggin’.
Just sayin’, lets have some calm before saying…well…whatever about him.

The problem is
the chicken littles have never been wrong. In this case though I think it’s not actually another concussion, if anything it’s the same concussion aggravated. If that’s all it takes to concuss him I don’t think he’s gonna last long. Hopefully everyones just being super careful.

Question
Would it be correct to say that Hamhuis is a “depth” defenseman? Wouldn’t want to make the same mistake twice ;)
I kid, I kid.
In all seriousness, another blow to your team. As a fan of a team that has had their fair share of injuries this year, I can completely empathize with what you guys are dealing with. Here’s hoping you get your players back for the playoffs. I really want to see the Wings and Canucks face off in the WCF; I think it could be one of the best series we’ve seen in a long time (assuming both teams are healthy).

I would keep Hammer out until the second round, as well….unless Anaheim gives us trouble and win a couple of games in the series. I see Chicago finishing above Anaheim, same with Nashville.

But I can also imagine
that Chicago will be perfectly happy with facing the Canucks, and somehow wiggle itself to finish 8th (if that’s possible). They may be thinking that they rather meet the Canucks, just for the simple fact that they may not be as good as the Canucks, but at least they may have a phsychological factor playing into their hands….while they got nothing over Detroit.

I doubt the Hawks think that
I seriously doubt anyone wants to play Vancouver in the first round and I don’t think the Hawks are foolish enough to think they still have that edge with the huge step they took back this year. LIke i’ve said before, the guys that gave them that psychological edge are gone. Look at Buff the other night, Ladd? gone, Versteeg? gone. Duncan Keith? exhausted. Not to mention questionable goaltending. The Hawks are at the bottom of the playoff picture for a reason. They are one of the weakest teams and I wish everyone would start talking about them as such.
by Canuckelhead on Mar 28, 2011 12:49 PM PDT up reply actions
The Hawks
‘weakness’ is overblown. They have the second best goal difference in the West. They are also 5-5 in shootouts. The teams ahead of them are:
Ana 4-2
Nash 6-4
LA 9-2
If the Hawks had say a 7-3 record in shootouts they are above Anaheim. A similar record to LA and they could be as high as 5th.
Oh and of all the players who could be in Luongo’s head Patrick Kane is top of the list and he is still there. If you believe in that type of thing. Which I don’t.

The reason they are doing so “poorly” is because of their record in one goal games. If you look at games that are won by 2 or more goals, without an empty net, you get this:

If it’s the shootouts I can see the argument but you can’t take out close games. That would speak to quality of opponent and quality opponents are all you have in the playoffs.
Look, I’m not trying to say the Hawks suck, they don’t. All I’m saying is they get too much credit on these boards. They simply aren’t the powerhouse they had been and I don’t think anyone thinks of them the same way, especially not the Canucks. I would rather play the Blackhawks then any other current playoff team. Think about how we match up with them from position to position and I think you’d have to agree.

Top end talent
the Hawks are still as good as anyone. Toews, Kane, Sharp, Hossa, Keith, Seabrook, Campbell and Hjalmarson are as good as any team can put up there. It’s the depth where we have an edge. Of course top end talent can make life uncomfortable even without depth. Not that I am saying I fear the Hawks because I don’t. I think we would beat them pretty handily. But that does not mean they are not a very good team.

Holy Statman
You got one for every occasion? What if I need a stat for a dinner party where pheasant is the main course and the wine is from Naples? Can you help me?

I can’t take credit for that – Copper and Blue tracks that stuff on their page. They call it “clear victory standings”

So you are this year's Hawks
You may start the game winning, but just seem to lose it in the third. Built to win, but just lacking a little something. Lots of talent but not clicking on all cylinders.
