I, too, was dumbfounded when Raymond was "helped" off the ice. Not sure who dropped the ball there, but found it very strange at the time to see:

Burnstein and/or the medical staff should be fired for their incompetent handling of the Daniel Sedin and other injuries. Should Daniel have played the pp shift after the Keith elbow? Ok, maybe a warrior like Daniel convinced Burnstein that he could play the next shift but he should have been sent back to Vancouver right away and not having to travel to Dallas first.

Other examples of lousy assessments by training and medical staff - Mason Raymond should have been taken off on a stretcher in the Boston series; the wrong diagnosis on Cody Hodgson, etc. It even goes back to the Mike Robitaille lawsuit back in the 1970s.

Honestly both those thing are hard to diagnose. Back injuries are hard, but I agree that it went badly for raymay. I just dont blame the med staff for it. Daniel Sedin didnt get hit all that hard from what I saw, it was most likely the contact with the jaw that caused it to be so severe. He got hit in the worst possible place for concussions. We were in a game against probably our most hated and heated rival and concussion regularly take a day or two to set in quite a bit of the time.

How you think the 70s med staff is relevant is beyond me though

if the management of this team, are comfortable with their medical staff, who are we to say they should go?.....

But it isn't the training staff's job to 'diagnose'. They are more specifically "first response" when something happens on the ice and even those who've only taken a St Johns OFA level 1 Saturday course would assume a person has a spinal injury if:

  • There's evidence of a head injury with an ongoing change in the person's level of consciousness

  • The person complains of severe pain in his or her neck or back

  • The person won't move his or her neck or torso

  • An injury has exerted substantial force on the back or head

  • The person complains of weakness, numbness or paralysis or lacks control of his or her limbs, bladder or bowels

  • The neck or back is twisted or positioned oddly

...and in the case that any number of these were readily observed, you immobilize the patient C spine not encourage them to get up and skate off with the assistance of a couple of other players.

I can still recall watching the Raymond injury unfold and asking WTF are they doing?? He's obviously suffered a spine related injury and they don't even immobilize him and handle him properly. They made the guy get to his feet and make his way to the bench so we could show those Bruins they aren't so tough. Imagine the consequences if that single action caused permanent and irreprable damage. The training staff should have been hauled up on the carpet for the handling of the Raymond injury without a doubt.
