oh yeah, and in case anyone missed it (wasn't mentioned itt that i saw), but Hamhuis is probably out for a while again, for the Canucks. kind of a crappy play, he gets
hit in the numbers by Getzlaf as he turns to reverse the puck. plus he looked to jump a bit on it, so charging or boarding? nope, no call again, whatever. apparently the league looked at it for a while today, but also decided to take no action. did they even look at the Michalek on Ballard play from the game before? probably not.
so if i had to guess it's a concussion, the way his head his the glass and how he fell to the ice looking unconscious. team hasn't said anything yet, which these days seems to mean they're waiting to see if they can call it something other than a concussion. and like i said the other day, pretty standard for the Canucks D-men to start falling one by one as we head towards the playoffs, happens every year. and funny considering a guy they signed partly because of how durable he has been over his career has suffered two injuries in 47 games (foot, and now head). he'll likely join Edler and Ballard, and recent replacement callup Sweatt, on the "out for a while" list. Rome and Alberts just came back from injuries, and Salo should be back soon. Canucks D is like Pittsburgh forwards, or something.
