Nikolaj Ehlers has eye injury, timetable TBD


Recommended Posts

Nikolaj Ehlers' visor broke when he was struck by the puck, resulting in an eye injury.

 

Ehlers has blood in his eye chamber, but beyond that the severity of his injury is still being determined. He'll be shutdown complete until the blood dissipates, which means that he won't be engaging in any off-ice activities either. How long it will take to dissipate is still being determined. Winnipeg has called up J.C. Lipon for now.

I hope this kid gets well, and quickly.  Alf is saying a prayer for his complete recovery.

Have some respect. It was a freak accident that has nothing to do with being soft or injury prone. Canucks fans of all people should know how severe an eye injury could be. Malholtra went from a top shutdown centre who was in the conversations for a Selke in 2011 to playing with one eye for the rest of his career. 

 

I hope Ehlers is ok. He has a bright future in this league.

Because he took a puck to the visor, which shattered? Yeah, you called it :rolleyes:

He should have seen it coming

A shot that deflected off a stick. Yup. And therefore, soft and injury prone.

I feel like have to formally apologize to Neon Knee for putting himself through this blasphemy.

 

CAN ANYBODY SAY...

I was gonna make a joke but felt it has already been touched on by others. So I guess I'll just wish him a speed recovery. Not sure if the saying applies here but nonetheless. Scary business when any thing happens to ones face, we had a pretty big scare with Hammer and Manny.
