Around SBN: Why Hockey Fans Should Root For Devils Vs. Kings

Remembering Toews' Concussion


I found this article from 2009 when Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews was knocked out with a concussion thanks to a Willie Mitchell hit (wasn't suspended). He missed 6 games (about 2 weeks of action). As for long term effects... he went on to be the MVP of the Olympic hockey tournament, as well as winning the Conn Smythe and Stanley Cup in 2010. Just thought I'd post this, in case anyone was looking for some encouragement regarding Sid. Go Pens.

Thanks for posting this =]

On a related note, why did the Fanshots and Fanpost get switched? Bizarre.

I have a theory

Frank got kidnapped by some evil Japers’ person who wants to take over SBN and turn everyone into gross Craps fans. He’s starting off by using Frank’s Pensburgh powers to randomly delete innocent pro-Pens comments and warp the very fibre of this site’s being by switching fanposts and fanshots to throw us into a black hole.

Thanks from me, too, for the story and for the comment on the shots and posts switching. I thought something was different :)

Ug, I remember that hit and how sick it made me watching him try to get off the ice.

Get better soon Sid...
