NHL Monday: Bruins continue early-season woes with loss to Lightning

The only question is which Philly team will show up the rest of the season.

Flyers 1, Panthers 0

The Blues updated the media on Monday evening confirming the concussion and that Fabbri will be out indefinitely. Blues coach Ken Hitchock made a comment about Fabbri’s condition that brings the NHL’s awareness of concussions into question.

Hitchcock’s understanding of a concussion seems to be at odds with reality here. According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of a concussion “can be subtle and may not be immediately apparent.“ Perhaps Hitchcock expected a player with a concussion to be incapacitated; that is obviously not the case.

This kid is good.

Remember when NHL fans were obsessed with throwing animals onto the ice to celebrate goals? Now we live in much simpler times, when fans just raise children into the air and shake them.

That kid does NOT look like he’s participating in that celebration. At any rate, the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup last year, so expect the Islanders to do the same now.
