Flyers vs. Leafs - Nov. 1st, 7:00pm - CBC

Lots to build on in this game. Hope Tanev isn't out too long but probably will be at least as long as the last time. Still wish someone had pounded on Michkov. I don't think the play was malicious but probably one of those intentional/not intentional sneaky dirty hits from behind.
 
I was at the game tonight. I was most pleased by Macelli. With Nylander out, he looked like the leafs best transition player. He successfully skated and passed the puck up the ice consistently last night.

He's had some concussion history before this season.

To have that happen the first game back from a concussion in the Devils game probably means he is going to be out for a long stretch

Now I know whiplash can cause a concussion but I'm not so sure about a concussion here based on how they treated him. They don't usually strap you in and immobilize you with a head/neck brace and all that for one. Seems more like a whiplash scenario that left him feeling/not feeling the legs/arms/whatever. Berube said he was moving around and that he might be coming home with them which would be a good sign. Either way a scary situation.

I'm not sure about the NHL, but in any minor hockey sport, if there's fear of a neck injury, the player is strapped down.

If there is numbness or tingling, it is a red flag and medical staff are supposed to carefully stabilize the head and neck from further movement until the person can be medically evaluated - regardless of the sport or non-sport situation like an accident. Numbness or tingling can also be a symptom of concussion or a damaged disc/pinched nerve - other things - not just nerve damage from whiplash.

Without the replay, since a lot of people were following the puck that was elsewhere, many would not have seen in detail what actually happened. Many medical folks were on the ice before the replay. Only Tanev would know if he was feeling numbness or tingling. They seemed to talk with Tanev while he was face down and then called for the stretcher. Tanev may not have moved much because he'd been told not to previously if he's feeling numbness.
