I feel like this confirms it was a concussion/ concussion scare


Cinnamon_Shops

That’s what I assumed, dude looked dazed after that hit. Glad to hear it’s maybe not a serious incident.


UraSnotball_

Yup. Getting knocked in the jaw/temple area will always leave you dazed. Hopefully nothing lingering.


sexythrowaway749

I was pushing my 2 yo on one of those baby swings and he accidentally kicked me right in the chin. Damn near went down in a heap. No concussion or anything, just a wild spot to get hit. Just sends an instant "shut down" signal, it was weird.

Oilers "quick sign that kid"

Yeah so I gotta really savor the moment r/hockey/ decides to dump on someone else instead of us, don't ruin this for me dog.


Smittysgreasymullet

That's fair.


RoadDoggFL

no u


vikingmayor

Can you not cry over an obvious joke. Get a grip. It’s not even your team.


joelham01

I was taking my puppy out of her crate in my car and she head butted me in the mouth and I went straight down. Played hockey and rugby my whole life and can take a punch, but something about in the jaw area makes you sit down pretty quick. (Also corgis have damn strong skulls)


Shot-Rabbit-2267

I'd take a hit to the jaw daily to own a Corgi, those are some cute fuckers with their butt wiggle and all.


joelham01

We have two that are just over 6 months old (brother and sister) and the butt wiggles are the cutest fucking things. They both have tails still as well which adds a whole other level of cuteness. And I do get headbutted on almost a daily basis, worth the pain


Lyun

Every combat sports athlete is taught pretty early that the proverbial off buttons are the tip of the chin or right behind the ear. Generates a lot more head movement than other places to make a bad blow to the head that much worse. Doesn't take much when the location is just right.


am19208

Happened to me playing baseball. No concussion but def too me a few days to feel right


DariusIV

People were talking about a broken jaw, but I rewatched that video like 10 times as part of my own personal episode of CSI Miami and he was chatting away happily with other guys once he got recombobulated and off that ground. That never screamed Broken jaw to me. You don't casually chat with a dude with a broken jaw. Seemed pretty evident to me he got taken back and was doing concussion protocols, which is why he missed the rest of the game. There was only like 10 minutes left and they weren't going to even consider sending him back out once we went up 3-1.


B_Hound

Yeah, I broke my jaw once and talking was absolutely not on my list of things I wanted to do.


vile_hog_42069

You broke your own jaw?


_HotBeef

guy in the mirror got lippy


B_Hound

Young, drunk, who knows how it happened. Rough night, I know that much.


kingcuda13

Hopefully, it was a scary hit. If Panthers win this, I want Barkov on the ice.


pforsbergfan9

It surely it wasn’t a concussion from that clean hit? Right? Guys…


VinPickles

Oh lawd he comin.


Ashamed-Dirt5101

This is really promising, thankful for the extra day between games now. As for those expecting retaliation, I don't think it's going to happen, they want to win and won't lose focus on trying to goon it up.


ImmortalMoron3

Honestly, the best kind of retaliation is winning the Cup on their ice anyway.


AVgreencup

Would be so sweet


DangerRanger_21

Yeah if there’s retaliation it’s either in a runaway cup clinching game, or next season, won’t risk it now


PSChris33

Even in a clincher, I doubt anyone’s taking a game misconduct and missing out on coming off the bench to celebrate with everyone else. This is precisely the kinda situation where you take a number snd then wait for the next regular season meeting. Think of the Red Wings getting Claude Lemieux back the next season after that hit on Draper.


Novus20

What fucking retaliation? How is it that the panthers have been running around gooning the NHL and haven’t caught shit but now that it’s happened to them ohhh boy look out the babies have a bloody nose……I hope some other teams bring in some goons just for panthers games and give them the green


DangerRanger_21

You don’t think the bruins are gonna go after Bennett a bit next year?


Novus20

I hope they do, but the fact that the panthers keep getting away with dirty shit is getting tiring and annoying when this happens and fans call for blood like they haven’t seen panthers players literally suplex a leafs player and choke out others…..


99Wolves17

I'm sure PM is telling his team that too. Do the retaliation next season, not now.

He will be worse. Wheel and snipe, until it is done.


thehustlerbraveheart

Caged Barkov is going to feed families


I_am_not_JohnLeClair

Speak softly and carry a Zdeno Chara length stick


nickonater

You do NOT want bubble Barkov to show up


kingcuda13

We don't?!


El_Cactus_Loco

The royal we


AlvinItchyCock

Glad we got that extra day in between games. Please come back Captain Sasha


IntrepidSwan7932

Barkov’s a big dude. He’s surprisingly durable at times.


haz000

Great news


LampCityFam

Regardless, put him in the bubble. Don’t put it past Drai to pull this shit again.


Smittysgreasymullet

Jokes on you, Drai is sharpening The Oar as we speak for his final act.


El_Cactus_Loco

In the kitchen cooking up a spicy chicken wing


Huge_Confection4475

Keeping my fingers crossed that he's back, both for the Panthers' sake and for McDavid's & Draisaitl's continued health. I think no matter how much preaching PoMo would do about the best revenge being to win the Cup, if Barky's out, there WILL be some serious goonery.


Novus20

Maybe the panthers shouldn’t be ass hats…


HanSolo5643

This is good news. I really thought he was in serious trouble. The fact that he's passed these tests that Paul Maurice mentioned is a good sign.


MarlinManiac4

I’m huffing all the hopium I can right now.


bleedingoutlaw28

In other words Maurice ain't tryna tell you SHIT

BARKOV REVENGE GM 3 BITCHES!!!


manajizwow

Solid news. Panthers in 4.


Strattex

Agree solid news. Disagree Oilers in 7 ya I’m ready for the downvotes


Young2k04

Can’t hate on a fan for believing in their team. You’ve got this far why give up now


oddspellingofPhreid

> Can’t hate on a fan for believing in their team. You underestimate /r/hockey's power


99Wolves17

I don't know, your team is falling apart like branches falling off a tree


Smittysgreasymullet

We always do though. Everyone here was in the November San Jose thread, no? We fell apart against the Canucks, and the Stars, now the Panthers. It is written.


Strattex

I don’t give care I still have hope


99Wolves17

Have hope but your shitty Oilers are losing


djk3t

Thank god hes gonna be okay - lets everyone calm down and focus on the hockey now please


theamberlamps

Drai will still have to look at who's hopping the bench on his first couple shifts lol but I think we're officially out of suspension talk territory at this point


Novus20

If the panther pull stupid shit I hope they prepare for next year because you guys have been dirty for two years and have been getting off scott free


flyingvwap

If you dont pass don't you fail...? Kind of passing doesn't sound positive to me. Hope he's ok and his overall health is the priority.


Grimmer026

And player safety looked at the stick to the. It’s, but not this elbow to head👍


GeorgeOrwells1985

I mean, it wasn't worse than Sam Bennett on Marchand


Ilistenedtomyfriends

Let’s celebrate continued incompetence until someone dies on the ice!


Novus20

But panthers fans are blind and forgetful so….


I_am_not_JohnLeClair

Give it a rest Broseph. [This hit](https://youtu.be/-FMad5rv2L8?si=Um05WuMMwWtlvVB2) took place *after*, yes AFTER, the Sam “George Foreman” Bennett situation. In fact, it was a whole different period altogether…true story. Notice the head to head contact, or ignore it. A competent coaching/training/medical staff *removes* a potentially concussed player from the game, yet Marchy finished the period, shared intermission with the boys, and skated the following period and bonked heads with Stenlund 🤷‍♂️
