Did you edit this photo

i did not. it's possible someone else did. i am looking for video from that rangers game - that's apparently where it's from. i recall jack recoiling in pain at one point as a trainer tried to work out (or test?) his neck.

Are you talking about the hit on Eichel by Cizikas in NY on March 7?

Whatever the play was behind the net.

I opted for the semicolon instead.

Good choice.

Jack at 100% next season will be great. He's had so many lingering injuries that he's played through, it will be nice to see him at full strength. It's gonna be a, dare I say it, "New Jack".

I'll buy you a few beers of your choice if he gets hurt next season. 👍

That was the immediate aftermath of the play behind the Islanders' net on 3/7, Jack's last game. I hope "treatment" didn't make things worse.

I don't recall a crosscheck to the neck. I'll try to find the video. It wasn't a big deal of a play. Certainly not a penalty TTBOMR.

It was the guy's stick, pinning his neck to the glass.

Also, Jack's been doing the rapid eye movement thing for a while now.

So what you're saying is he is going to have "Natural Born Killaz" playing the whole time he is on the ice?

I don't remember the play to the extent of where the opponent's stick was, but I do remember the reaction Jack had to the trainer on the bench afterwards. If looks could kill the training staff would have an open position.

Look at the urban dictionary result says: don't count on it

I'm sure the Rangers will enjoy that. And we can probably enjoy Strome and a second

No one is trading Eichel to the Rangers.

The more I think about it, I don't think that was any form of treatment. I think it was a diagnostic test of some kind -- as in, confirming that Jack's neck was jacked the fu*k up.

 

[LabattBlue]

I hope Jack can get back to 100% and continue his upward career progression come the fall.

[Kong]

 

I wish Jack all the best and that he gets all the support he needs to get to a good place so he can play well again. I'm very concerned about neck injuries in general though and also about Jack's mental state with the setback and all the losing.

It’s so much pain. Migraine.

Headache. I can hear his bones break.

For whatever reason that's stuck in my mind...it was kinda sad to see a trainer or whoever that was poking around at the back of our captain and see him wince in obvious pain. I hope they knew what they were doing and I'm sure it didn't actually contribute or anything but it didn't look like Jack was expecting that to happen, for one. I'm worried that's one of the last mental images I'll have of him being a Sabre.

If that happened, or if Jack was cross-checked in the neck, I'll send Terry another card.

Rangers are on the right path, they wouldn't make that trade unless it was a bargain basement price. No way they'd offer us true value. They do not need him.
