Anybody get to see it and see how he faired? I think it was Molino actually but maybe got recorded as MacEwen? Didn’t see the game but apparently MacEwen took a scary hit and was down a while before leaving the ice under his own power and didn’t return to the game. Later Lewington and Molino fought (according to several reports) but AHL website seems to have recorded MacEwen with the fight. EDIT: Comets thread has the details. Colby Williams crushed MacEwen with a big (maybe dirty) open ice hit. Zack was down, trainer came out, MacEwen went off and never returned to the game. Molino tried to get Williams back: Molino then got jumped by Lewington (who ended up taking an instigator). And Bancks eventually fought Williams (in retaliation for the MacEwen hit). At least I think that’s how it went down? Edited March 31, 2018 by SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Nice to see that from Molino, especially not being the biggest guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good you followed up with all the happenings though clearly a lot went on during this game. Hopefully the big guy is ok they could really use and really need that big body and skill in the playoffs. Good on his teammates having his back as they should although hard to really tell from that small clip but looks to me like Williams might have left his feet and contact was to the head.

The hit in that clip is actually Molino hitting Joe Whitney. That is what lead to the Molino fight. The hit that MacEwen was injured on was a neutral zone open ice hit. Big Mac has a bad habit of skating through the neutral zone with his head down and 90% of the players in the AHL do not take advantage of a vulnerable player like that but there are a few that will.

No confirmation of a concussion or how long Big Mac will be out for other than listed as week to week. Certainly looked like a concussion though.

SilentSam Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) I missed this fight against Latta, 4-5 years older than MacEwan, and a fight card 2 arm lengths longer than Zack. Zack is going to surprise us bigger next season, at aprx. .5ppg , this kid is a beauty. Hope to see him feed off the excitement of the playoffs. http://www.hockeyfights.com/fights/140047 Edited April 17, 2018 by SilentSam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So one-sided despite Zack very much holding his own. Audio only and you’d think Latta absolutely destroyed MacEwan and the kid ended up stretchered off. When in fact, other than maybe eating that one shot near the end, the fight was very even and Zack got in some good punches himself, especially during the early sequence.

Zack , by all accounts of any interviews I’ve read, is very determined and goal orientated.. he will push strong for the Nuck’s next season absolutely.. the question is, do you want to bring him up only to have this strong YOUNG man destroyed by a Ryan Reaves or other meat hound. There’s a mental edge that sometimes needs to be protected with youth, . as much as I would love to see Big Mac with us next season, a half season or one more in Utica will not hurt him or us.. it would help keep the farm solid, and Zack solid for the call up, which would happen soon into next season. Its Zacks TOTAL game, and that means mentally, as much as physically, that needs to be protected. Kid can skate above average with great skills... let’s give him a chance to Stick when he arrives.

I think Gaunce really needs to be looking over his shoulder. Guys like Zack and Gadjovic are coming to take those spots, and those new guys will bring some actual snarl and bite.

Guance came back stronger after his injury and conditioning stint in Utica this season. The AHL , our farm team Utica, is becoming a great barn for our horses to develop in. Benning needs credit for this.. he is setting up what the Canuck organization has never effectively had.

All they did was pull each others helmets off and get some jabs in. Then MacEwen gets him in a headlock, and they go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
