The Blues’ flat play has been concerning, certainly, but it looks like fate has decided to male Blues fans reconsider what “concerning” even entails. The team has been surprisingly healthy recently (Oskar Sundqvist notwithstanding), but that streak of good luck has come to an end courtesy of a hit to the head from Austin Watson.
As Hyman points out, there was no penalty on the play and there hasn’t been any sign of the potential for supplemental discipline, either. Watson’s shoulder very clearly makes direct contact with Pavel Buchnevich’s head, and Buchnevich spent the rest of the game in concussion protocols.
