I heard this yesterday morning, but didn't believe it since I didn't believe this 'source' would be exposed to the info. He said Zucc was told he'd only re-gain 80% of his motor skills and that he's in awful shape.
The last guy I know of to have a fractured skull was Blake Geoffrion, and he had to retire.
Also, I don't get the comments by AV after that game that Zucc was 'alright' and the comment from McDonagh the following Monday that it isn't too serious.

And Buch resigning for a season in the KHL because of the Rangers NHL level depth. If this was true, we'd need to replace one or two (MSL) NHL level scoring line wings.

Do you have any thoughts on Tambellini and his ability to be a top nine winger?
I don't follow the prospects as much as I used to, but he's apparently done really well this year.
it makes the Yandle trade a double gut punch since a) Yandle hasn't been the offensive force we thought we'd be getting and b) Duclair was traded and he could have been a potential (imperfect) substitute.

maybe it was testerdays game thread,,,? Anyhoo, he said he wasat game and heard it was bad news for Zucc, worse than a concussion. I feared the worst with this ass soon as it happened... fractured skull doesn't surprise me 1 bit!! I feel for Zucc & the whole Org... We're jst under this black cloud with career ending inuries (or deaths) Goal scorers can't score, heart beat of team is done for season...(hopefully he will still have a normal life)
We just seem to have to persevere thru more than most!!!

that a guy that wasn't hospitalized is going to lose 20% of his motor skills. I can believe the fractured skull. Still if he had brain swelling that bad, he'd have been in the hospital.
Overage 6'3 guy. I havent seen him or any great writeup of his development this year, but even if I had it would be hard to tell if he's just bigger, older, stronger than the competition or if he turned a corner. I wouldnt expect him to play in NY at all next year, but who knows -- Slats isnt shy about rushing prospects with little AHL experience.
What I have read indicates that he still isnt a power forward type -- more in the mold of a lesser Rick Nash who doesnt throw his size around with hits and establishing position down low.
People on HF who claim sources (some of whom have posted correct info before) are hinting at the same thing. Mods over there delete anything not from a verified source because they suck, though.
that a guy that wasn't hospitalized is going to lose 20% of his motor skills. I can believe the fractured skull. Still if he had brain swelling that bad, he'd have been in the hospital.
Being out for the season would be likely.
He was in the hospital. Brooks said he was in for at least one night.
I have a hard time buying the motor skills thing too - it just seems too soon to know (and like I said, I don't think the guy I heard that line from is someone in the know).

Yep, that's precisely the right analogy.
Zucc also hasn't opened my snapchats in like a fucking week.

One night is observation - anybody that gets smacked that hard in the head is should spend the night in the hospital.
Just hope he gets better and is not left with concussion symptoms for an extended period.

I'm hoping this is the case. Seems believable that this is the injury and his season is over. But hopefully the motor skill part is off and his career isn't over.
But if it really is a situation where not only his career, but his life-long health is in jeopardy, that's just awful. Best wishes to him in being able to get back to, at the very least, good health and a normal life.

Hockey players, tradition bound (lose a couple of teeth taking a puck in the chops, stitched up, return next period), old fashioned suck it up and return to the ice: the comments of AV and McDonough, I fear, may be the bravado, the refuse-to-acknowledge-the worst warrior types of Canada and the north--we're going to muster through regardless, a type of noble obliviousness to the worst...
just horrible news if true. Last year, MSL's mom, this year, Zuccs, Blueshirts don't need any more of these
Who said that he's just got a concussion and has to avoid lights, TVs, etc. so he's very bored. FWIW, it just sounds like a concussion that's a wait and see injury, not a skull fracture/brain damage situation.
We heard similar stuff about Hank while he was out. "Career might be over.. might be at high risk for strokes, etc"
A lot of it turned out to be bogus.
The stroke thing came from Lundqvist himself. The career might be over stuff came from fans worrying - there was never a source, and the beat reporters said there was no career risk the day he was diagnosed.
The overall point is that tons of misinformation gets thrown around. I'm glad the info was shared but I can't take 2nd/3rd hand stuff as fact until it comes from a more reliable source.
But this is different than the Lundqvist situation where it was strictly fans speculating about the severity of the injury rather than people claiming information.
I can't fathom though if he really had a fractured skull that the Rangers wouldn't just come out and say he's out for the year. I did see that fulltilt link yesterday, but it's all speculation.
The last guy I know of to have a fractured skull was Blake Geoffrion, and he had to retire.
Makes no sense.
Zucc had a concussion back in 2011 (I believe) with the Connecticut Whale, but only missed a few days.
Feel terrible for him.
Makes no sense.

Not really speculation when someone is claiming information from a source. Speculating is what we're with that information.
You're welcome for today's lesson.
Also, the player quoted in the link is wrong because Zucc did suffer a concussion before.
