I would expect he needs at least a practice or two taking live action shots to both see how sharp he is and to be certain the concussion is OK (skating and exercise are one thing, live action another) ... a logical return would seem to be Saturday against Toronto and the two against Edmonton ... a good test, both mentally/physically and in terms of performance, to see if he is ready for the playoff grind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly an upper body injury ... but the below replay doesn't seem to show any upper body contact Apparently the injury has been nagging for a few days but the team saw no reason to expect it would get worse in-game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Now we know more about Danault and it's not good news. He has a concussion which probably takes him out of the lineup for the two Edmonton games. For some reason, I immediately thought of an Edmonton writer celebrating at this news after he called Danault a noted cheap-shot artist last month, a comment so random that it has stuck with me all this time.

As nothing seemed to happen last game to cause a concussion and DD said Danault had been bothered for a few days why was he playing? In this day&age, even a few days of just headaches should be cause to consider a concussion ... if there were any other symptoms that just makes it worse ... especially if there was any type of contact in the game previous to the symptoms that could possibly have caused a concussion ... this concerns me.

Commandant Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 I dont think they are lying about Danault having a concussion. If you want to rest him, you don't let him play half a period, pull him and go the rest of the game double shifting cause you are down to 11 forwards. Defeats the purpose to rest one guy and over tax the others. If you were coming up with something to rest him you pull him before the game and have Belzile or another taxi squad guy in the lineup. The others Weber, gallagher, byron, Price, we know they were hurt. They missed big games. We saw the injuries happen. Drouin, seems serious, not rest. So i dont think this is resting anyone.

I'll change that to "they are not rushing players back" if you prefer. Also, one or two of the injured players probably could have played in a playoff 7th game if needed, but that situation did not present itself. If after the first game against the Oilers the team has not clinched, maybe they play one of these injured palyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Knowing that Price has been ruled out for the last two games, should the Habs consider asking him to take a conditioning stint in Laval to try to get him into a game before the playoffs start? (Laval's last game is on the 17th, by the way so if he's not ready by Wednesday, he could be ready by the time Laval's schedule wraps up.)

Absolutely IMO ... assuming the plan is for him to tend the nets in the playoffs ... doing so with no prep games would be asking too much of the Carey Price of 14/15, let alone the Price of this season.

It's been two years since he's been anything close to being on top of his game, and four years removed from truly being on it. They're only going to win if they can recapture their scoring magic from early in the season. But since this team is great at surprising for brief stretches, they'll probably shock the Leafs and then get swept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Wait a minute, i am pretty sure i read all year Price sucks, but Allen is great. Even with in the same number of games Price is above 500 and Allen is below 500? Why do they need Price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
