I agree it was scary -- had a knot in my throat. I can only guess that the tests were overwhelmingly negative for any injury and that CJ must have passed ever cognitive test they threw at him before he was allowed to go home. I'm sure he has been poked and prodded again this morning. :p

I hope he had a really good neurologic evaluation. Unfortunately not all doctors are created equal-and for everyone that graduated at the top of his medical school class-someone had to graduate at the bottom. Hope he got seen by a top notch fellow. At the least an MRI/CAT scan of the brain, perhaps an ultrasound. Cognitive tests for sure. As the hours go by and more reports appear here on USCHO it sounds more like a mild concussion or a cervical injury from the fall. In either case, being sent home is a wonderful sign. I hope to see a replay on RPI-TV to get a better idea of what happened. The last bad RPI injury I saw in person was Malchuk's knee at Princeton and that was just plain horrible to witness. Knees are not meant to bend the direction he was in.

Update-Just watched the injury several times on RPITV-no question it is a smack to the right side of the head. Best guess is concussive symptoms. Now the question becomes whether CJ lost consiousness and for how long. Hopefully this is a grade 1 kind of injury with no lingering sequellae.

The GOOD: Polacek and GOulet. Overcoming a 2 goal defecit in the 3rd period. The refs were very fair i thought. The team took a ton of shots. Lee went home with his family, all tests were negative... and i talked mr and mrs lee on the cell phone to albany medical center so they didnt get lost :)
The bad: Koudys just is very young and raw. Merriam let up some awful goals (yes he was rusty but he is what he is a backup goalie)
the ugly: giving up that goal when it was 5-4 with 4 mins left. In our 3 losses all 3 disallowed goals screwed us.

LETS GET THE WIN TONight long time coming for a rpi invitation championship.... bailen will play big and york i feel .

While the refs were indeed "fair", I nevertheless thought they were pretty awful. Penalty calls were very soft (both ways -- honestly we probably benefited from this) and the linesmen were awful. They missed 5 or 6 obvious offsides calls (equally split between RPI and UConn) and were powertripping on every single faceoff (again, this benefited us as they were picking on UConn).

Also, I really liked Rogic out there even though he got hardly any PT. Really wasn't fan of Vines chopping off the bench the way he did in the third period (even though in the end it certainly worked out).

Thanks for the info Doc. Could you please tell us how many grades there are and what the symptoms would be? I am assuming if he lost consiousness that would be the worst-but what does it mean if there are no symtoms following that? Do they treat it the same because the intial symptom was loss of consciousness?

The scoring of concussions is still a little bit of flux. The American Academy of Neurolgy currently uses 3 grades depending on how long someone has lost consiousness. The older (and I think more comprehensive scale had 4 grades which allowed for a better separation of symptoms. Currently Grade 3 is virtually the same as the old grade 4. Grade 1 shows no loss of consciousness and post trauma amnesia less than 15 minutes. Grade 2 shows no loss of consciousness and amnesia lasting over 15 minutes. Grade 3 shows loss of consciousness of type (a) lasting seconds and type (b) lasting minutes. I find these grades for too broad and refinement necessary. The older classifications were based on how long amnesia persisted. I had played some hockey when younger and sufferred a very severe concussion-today would have been classed in the 3 level-years ago in the 4 level. It is 48 years later and I still have some symptomatology. Brain injury is always serious-even a class 1 in the current list. Mike Bergin was a prime example of that last year. Each concussive episode has to be evaluated in each individual uniquely. No two people respond the same. Worst of all the effects are more than cummulative-they seem to be almost exponentially cummulative. Think of all the NHL players who have had their careers severely shortened by them.

...funny how 2 people can watch the same game & come away with opposite conclusions. On the way home a buddy & I were talking about the officials and thought it was one of the better(comparative of course) officiated games. Of course calls were missed but they always will be. I was told Hicks is doing the 1st game this afternoon...phewwwww. He did last nights Har. vs Dart. game...19 penalties, geesh!!

http://www.rpiathletics.com/documents/2010/11/27/2010-11MHKYLineChart_1.pdf?id=936 kind of surprised Malchuk is out...Koudys is in....York in goal...looking forward to seeing Tinordi

Looks like 2 really good top lines to me-an exciting third line if it clicks. Just need to stay out of the box as i get the feeling we may not see the same kind of officiating as last night. We do have some more size in there and of course our number 1 goalie. Hope we can play close to shut out defense and put up enough to forge an early lead that we can play with and extend. We have been rather poor in the first period this year being outscored almost 2 to 1. We do get better as the game goes on but falling behind early just cannot keep going on.
 
Re: RPI 2010-11 Part II: RPI, the Other Team, the Refs -- We're outnumbered 10 to 6.

I know that Merriam had a pretty bad game last night, but I thought that the defense had its worst game of the year in front of him.
Am I the only one who thinks that missing JFK is a major problem? Not just his play on the ice, but he is the glue that holds the defense together.
Need to tighten up tonight.

The linesmen did indeed miss several obvious off-sides calls (my seats are on the blueline) one where the linesman was not on the blueline where he's supposed to be, and another missed called allowed UConn to gain the zone and they scored on that rush. These were not run and gun calls where it could go either way, these were blatantly off. As for face-offs, ECAC officials are incapable of conducting timely, well-executed puck drops...I've given up hoping on this one.

C'mon Doc, lets give Albany Med some credit ...they're a regional trauma center. There is no way C.J. got out of there without a full work-up. :D

You know he's a true freshman right ? I think he plays beyond his years. Sure he makes some young mistakes but he is about 90% as good as Bergin and Patrick has played about 90% fewer games.

Having gone to school there, completed an internship there, did one year of residency there before heading off to Boston University-I can tell you it is indeed a fine institution. I just take nothing for granted in medicine. There are as many arseholes practicing medicine as there are in every other profession.:eek:

DrD went to medical school there. Perhaps he knows something that you don't. :D



Edit: I got here a split second too late. :D :D :D :D

Great win for RPI against a CCHA opponent. Now we need to root for Bowling Green in their league games. Hopefully we can get ourselves some COP points should we remain top 25.

I'm gonna guess that Doc isn't a contributor to their new capital campaign...:eek::D I'm ONLY KIDDING.

BTW, it was great seeing C.J. on the ice after the game. He had a huge smile on his face and seemed to be in very good spirits and went down the line congratulating his team.

Congrats to RPI on the tourney win and thanks for inviting UAH.

Hope RPI has a good stay in Huntsville after Xmas.
