Meathead Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 always thought it was nuts to play with a mask. they make the helmets and cages so light now you cant tell me a goalie would notice the difference i played goalie for a while when i was a kid and you couldnt have paid me to wear a mask. no matter how well you make the mask there is always going to be more shock to the head and a far greater chance of well THIS than a helmet when the puck hits it. you simply cant stop the mask from bending enough to inflict major force to the head like you can with a helmet and mask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masks are scientifically designed to deflect pucks and the top level ones the pros wear are much safer than a standard player helmet. Player helmets can crack or flex since they're mostly made of plastic, whereas most top level masks are a kevlar or carbon fiber composite. Sure, old masks weren't very good, but now there is no better option. There's videos around the internet of masks being tested. They literally fire hundreds of pucks at these helmets from varying angles and measure the shock induced. Goalie helmets are the best they've ever been and innovations in padding and design continue to make them better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assquatch Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 The night Hasek came back, Miller pulled out the "bat the puck out of the air" trick. The next night he again channeled Dom and stormed off the ice. Now he has a phantom injury. Coincidence? I think not. :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumb_dumb88 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Well this season just keeps getting more and more interesting, even in the end stretch. Could we possibily create anymore intrigue for the last 6 games? The Sabres roster is starting to look alot like the Portland Pirates roster... :blink: Let's hope these hungry AHL'ers come in with a vengence.

darksabre Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Consensus in other places is that he's simply sore/tight from taking a puck to the shoulder/neck area last night. I feel like that is more likely than this concussion talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Dudley Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Is this from a hit to helmet last night ? I do not recall seeing one last night only the one the game before. I did see that shot last night just under the chin almost in the adams apple and that was scary. I recall wondering why he did not have one of those plastic chin contraptions that hang below the mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(picture here a uneven eyes gumby in a tux with hockey stick doll) That's it they're officially toast ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrico Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I was worried when he took that shot off the collar bone. Hope it's a concussion over a broken collar bone as those can hurt like a b1tch. Although since he finished the game I'd be shocked if it were broke.

I was worried when he took that shot off the collar bone. Hope it's a concussion over a broken collar bone as those can hurt like a b1tch. Although since he finished the game I'd be shocked if it were broke. I was afraid the same thing on that shot in the third...he was holding his shoulder.

Tyrannustyrannus Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Did it occur to anyone that Enroth was probably playing tonight anyways? If Miller has a Concussion they wouldn't be talking about his return this weekend. If Miller broke his collar-bone, he wouldn't have finished the game against the Leafs.

IKnowPhysics Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Article's up: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news?slug=ap-sabres-millerhurt Without discussing the severity of the injury, general manager Darcy Regier provided the update shortly before the start of the game. Regier said there’s a possibility Miller could be back by the weekend... Last year’s Vezina Trophy-winner was shaken up in the third period of a 4-3 loss at Toronto on Tuesday night, when he took a hard shot from Maple Leafs defenseman Dion Phaneuf(notes). After gloving the puck to stop play, Miller was attended to by a Sabres trainer and was able to complete the game. Regier would only say that Phaneuf’s shot “played a role” in the injury.

Corp000085 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 If he got a concussion against the devils, he wouldn't have played against the leafs, and we'd know he'd be out by now. Hell, the GM is possibly ruling Crosby out till training camp in pittsburgh. If it were a concussion, we'd know about it already. If it were a broken collarbone, Miller wouldn't have finished that game last night. Dude is dinged up, he'd play if it were the playoffs, and it just sets the stage for this weekend's games. If he doesn't travel to washington, then i'll be concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
