Neal skates...

[bringitonhome]

Yet another pen down. Annoying!!!!!

[iWonTheCup87]

lets wait to hear his condition before we say hes out

[wondermoose]

Yup, I figured it was about time for this post.

[DocEmrick]

Looked like a possible concussion. He was definitely disoriented after the play.

[hbysmd]

the fact he said "what happened" indicates he was KO'd. i dont think he misses any time though

[HockeyDaddy]

Beat me to it!

Someone put my mind at ease, I feel like injuries are threatening to ruin the whole damn season.

Crosby will be back before you know it and then there will be hell to pay.

These injuries are keeping us from developing line chemistry. That's extremely troublesome. Need to be clicking on all cylinders in 4 weeks. Hopefully we have 2 or 3 games the last week of April where we get to set the lines.

Only thing that can derail a deep playoff run this year is injury.

[canaan]

I think the frustrations building knocked him pretty good.


Del Zotto did that intentionally.

[FreeCandy44]

Lame

[bringitonhome]

I dont see him being out more than a week. Just like letang. Lol.

[lemieuxReturns]

Can you be knocked out without suffering a concussion?

Can you be knocked out without suffering a concussion?

I believe so.

[thepittman]

Can you be knocked out without suffering a concussion?

Sure can

[Pitt87]

Can you be knocked out without suffering a concussion?

Absolutely. There is actually a nerve in the area of your chin/mouth that can be hit just right and turn everything off for just a second. It looks just like Neal did skating off the ice; poor balance, disoriented, but otherwise fine.

[GenoMachino71]

It's nice knowing at worst they have 3 to 4 weeks until playoffs.

Sure you want these guys to develop chemistry and be clicking on all cylinders going into the playoffs, but it's nice knowing the Pens pretty much have 3 to 4 weeks to make sure everyone is ready to go. It's not like we're the Rangers and fighting for our lives to make the playoffs.

No pressure for anyone who is hurt to feel they need to rush back. So that is a positive.

This thread should've been titled "Neal remembers.."

[viva la ben]

Del Zotto looked behind him, saw Neal coming, raised his elbow and twisted. How is that not intentional?

[Inkio]

I was attacked with metal pipe to the back of my head. Knocked me out for 10 seconds, got up said what the hell happened. Got checked out and had no concussion. Sure is possible.

P.S.
I wasn't able to watch the game. Any video on the hit yet?

Del Zotto jumped too

Oh we saw his condition. He was definitely "out".

[Pens4Life]

Give him some rest,he was out of form anyway,not so good last 5-10 games.. Lets hope he will be the old Real deal when comes back.
