I mean, that was already two days in the pasts. With things are now with concussions if he suffered one there would be no way no how he would be allowed to be on the ice playing with the team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah with all of the protocols in place now and the much heightened awareness that goes with concussed athletes, he wouldn't even be on the ice for practice if that was a possibility. And the Devils themselves don't want to see him come back too early any more than we do. Not really fair to speculate that they're going to screw this up...or that somehow we know better than they do as to how to handle Timo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it says something that Meier is a game time decision that maybe he's not exactly 100%. My own concussion symptoms didn't emerge for weeks and then all the sudden there they were, and it sucked. Not claiming that is what's happening, I'm just saying it's possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I hear ya, unfortunately I myself have had 3 knockout concussions and I never really experienced any bad symptoms from any of them thank god. However even still today if I shake my head back and forth my head will hurt… maybe that’s something else 🤣. I do figure with the concussion protocols in place now, they would’ve put him through scans and other things to determine if it was indeed a concussion or not 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely haven't and I think he'll be ready and be good if he's needed. The team played like crap in front of him those first two games so I don't hold it against him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nessus Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I actually think the Rangers are a better team than the Canes. The Rags finished the season stronger, and they had Shesterkin playing lights out. Still, the Devils were able to score multiple goals on several occasions. Doesn't mean the Devils will definitely win this one, but I'm hoping for an easier series this time. I would love to see Meier find the back of the net. Hopefully the injury concern is not a major one. LGD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he still has plenty in the tank. at the end of the day, VV helped us get to where we are today so hopefully he can keep his head up high.. but ya maybe we'll see VV take a game or two. Don't see that happening if Schmid continues playing the way he has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
