Concussions can sometimes be the hardest injuries to overcome, hoping for a speedy recovery.

I saw that being discussed on the HF message board http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=673301&page=6 (post 128 and several later ones). The first name wasn't mentioned, and I originally thought that it was Jacob, even though Hawkesbury was mentioned. I hope that Yanik has a complete recovery, and I hope that JL realizes how important a college education can be.

Awful situation. Hard to believe the league hasn't/won't take any action against the kid who hit him, especially if the kid was indeed taunting Yanik as he lay prone on the ice. I've got to think that H'bury needs to raise a stink about this ... Add in the fact that every contact sport is stepping up its head injury awareness and prevention. Sounds like Yanik will be lucky if he makes it back onto the ice this season. Needless injury, IMO.

Way too early to know how severe this will be. From the description it does sound like a category 4 concussion (most severe). This could keep him out of action for an extended time-perhaps indefinitely. I hope the symptoms resolve quickly and he makes a complete recovery.

It makes you wonder what it would take to get a suspension in that league.:eek:

RB- What's the latest from JL's tourney? I think you should add his tourney stats to your recruit tracking list...just a thought. Thanks for compiling that by the way...:D

They play tonight in the semis vs. TCW at 7PM AST (6PM EST). I'll post anything he does on the score thread.

His brother gets a concussion and he stops scoring. Coincidnece, or has he changed his game?

Doubt it. IIRC, Janik was cheapshotted from behind...hard to prevent a loose cannon from taking a run at someone . That's not something that changing your game can prevent.

Agreed, but maybe JL is looking for the headhunter and not concentrating on his game. Probably this isn't correct and the whole team is not performing well.

No, they played two games to seed, and they earned a bye into the semis. They lost in the semis yesterday. They play tomorrow at 12 Noon AST (11 AM EST) for the bronze medal. They will play Russia who they trounced in an exhibition game, but I suspect that Russia had just come off a long plane ride.
