Yep, suspension or not I am devastated at the potential loss of Lupul for any length of time, I would hazard to guess out for the season  :'(

 

[Oracle]

Do we really care if its a blindside hit or not? Do we really care if Jay effing Rosehill gets suspended? I want McClaren to break his @!#\*!& face.

I bet it's a concussion and I bet he's done for the year.

I'm down with that.

Edit: better yet, who of their star players can McClaren and Orr sandwich from behind?

 

[princedpw]

Has Lupul had any concussion issues in the past?

Has Lupul had any concussion issues in the past?

He's had a couple, yeah. Last reported one was in 2008.

Has Lupul had any concussion issues in the past?

I'm sure he has .

"There's no rule you can't hit a guy in the head, you just can't target it". lol

"It's a head hit but it's not suspendable"

"I don't think it was a head hit, he just hit Lupul's head with his shoulder"

No, these are not quotes from Orwell, these are tonight's broadcast, lol!

 

[leafplasma]

Going to be hard to replace Lupul but I guess it is good that we held on to the likes of Bozak and Mac now, good to have depth I guess.

 

[princedpw]

That sucks.  I'm sitting in an airport ... didn't see the hit.

 

[pnjunction]

He's got concussion history, we're screwed.

Can't help but feel like Lupul's play was too good to be true for the Leafs, so we get struck by what feels like a curse.

Being a Leaf fan is so depressing sometimes.

 

[TML fan]

van Riemsdyk needs to step the hell up.

I know it is laughable.  I think that they are even second guessing themselves as they spew.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

If Lupol is done for the season and this happens two days ago... I wonder how different our trade deadline would have gone?

 

[TML fan]

I don't think any different at all. They still have MacArthur.

 

[Strangelove]

It was pretty clearly accidental and a freak injury.  Head getting jerked in two directions at once.  Hope he's good to go in a few days.

 

[BrownRolo]

It is almost definitely a concussion, and when the Leafs traded for him wasn't the main concern his concussion issues? Wasn't he trying to come back from a concussion? Anyways, too bad for the Leafs and him.

 

[sneakyray]

he had back surgery and a subsequent blood infection that he was out for over a year for.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

1st shift is not a good one.

 

[bustaheims]

Well, that was . . . unpretty.

 

[13th fan]

Wow Kule !

 

[Kaberle15]

we stink dudes
