Yep they are going back to Miami Monday now at least. 

After watching the series between them neither would have the advantage over the Canes IMO,  For TB they can only score on the PP (strength agaist strength) and Hedman and Vasilevsky have both been very shaky.

FL has a horrible PP and PK with an awful defense and two shaky goalies.

Holy poo! I just saw there video on Twitter. What the fug were the trainers doing sitting him up on the ice? That almost looked more dangerous than the hit itself.

Taraves was trying to sit up on his own but had minimal control over his faculties in this instance. That’s why the trainer immediately grabbed his neck from both sides. At least that showed us he had full control of all his limbs even if he was completely discombobulated.  
 

There is no reason for a trainer to intentionally sit him up. The most is rolling him on his back in case of seizure.

The clip I saw started in the middle of it all. That makes way more sense, that he tried to sit up himself. It still seems wild that they don't have neck collars available on the ice for situations like this. Seeing his head fall back limp the way it did was scary to see after a possible spine injury. 

Luckily, it appears he somehow got away with only a concussion from that collision!

"Only a concussion" the way he was on the ice reminded me painfully of the way Luke Kuechly was after his concussion vs the saints.

Yeah, scary poo! Wasn't trying to minimize the severity of his injuries. Concussions are no joke. But, the way he went limp on the ice, it looked like he might never walk again.

True, sorry I didn't think you were I just meant it was a heck of a concussion the career ending type.

No worries. I didn't take it that way.  Just wanted to clarify what I meant bc it could have come off pretty callous the way I worded it.

Prayers up!

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
