Lupul has another Concussion

Quote:

Flyers forward Joffrey Lupul is out indefinitely with a bruised spinal cord and a concussion after a violent collision with teammate Derian Hatcher during the 3-2 win over Toronto on Saturday. Hatcher's open-ice hit on the Maple Leafs' Alex Steen was so hard, the defenseman's momentum caught Lupul, knocking him backward. The back of Lupul's head struck the ice. This was Lupul's fourth concussion and third as an NHL player.

What do you guys think will happen once Lupul comes back? Do you think this injury might affect him the rest of the season? Do you still think he can keep up his production and play from before the concussion?

My opinio is that that is the end of the Lupul as we know.What i ment is that he willl not go so flying on the ice as he did so far,and that the way h eplays the only way.This inyury may take a pice of his thing..

RE: Lupul has another Concussion

It seems that the spinal cord is the biggest problem here. From the sounds of it the concussion was not that serious. You can never be sure about how a player will react to an injury but he has had concussions before and still seemed to be aggressive on the ice after them in the past so I would guess and hope he will react similarily this time.
It is one thing when you get injured for the first time during a certain play. I remember Alexandre Daigle driving to the net getting hooked down crashing into the post and breaking his wrist and never had the same intensity after that. The fact that Lupul has had injuries before gives me hope that he will be fine once he is recovered physically.

Hatcher owns Lupul--bang boom bang edition

Vicius body check on J. Lupul once D. Hatcher misses A. Steen.
