Brodin & Granlund hurt
Michael Russo @Russostrib
RT @TomGazzola: Mikael Granlund in big time pain after getting hit in corner by Colten Teubert. By way he reacted, looks like it's his knee.
Michael Russo @Russostrib
RT@TSNJFranklin:Taylor Hall crushed Jonas Brodin with a hit,it looks like Brodin's head was the initial point of contact.Brodin assisted off
Tom Gazzola @TomGazzola
Hall said during post-game media scrum that he heard Brodin broke his collarbone on the hit that got him ejected from the game.
Crap ...the game of great prospects just got depressing.
The Barons had Granlunds number on their mind after almost knocking out RNH's front teeth a week ago. No doubt they were showing him some extra love.

Michael Russo is saying it is not granlund's knee that was injurred....
quite shocking really, after watching the replay.
Hall isn't exactly a textbook hitter... and Brodin is lucky that Hall isn't Torres.
On an unrelated note, I'm even getting nostalgic for Shanahan videos... what the hell?!?

http://www.startribune.com/sports/blogs/177102811.htmlJonas Brodin, a 2011 first-round pick and stud defenseman that would have a chance to make the Wild if the lockout ends, will miss several weeks with a broken clavicle.
Mikael Granlund, a 2010 first-round pick fresh off being named AHL Rookie of the Month, will likely miss a few weeks with a muscle strain in the lower part of his right leg. The Wild will know more possibly later today, but that's the thinking, hope and look of his situation right now.
----
The plan is for Brodin to come to Minnesota early next week for an MRI to see the extent of the injury. Typically, the standard for an injury like this is six to eight weeks to heal, but GM Chuck Fletcher said doctors need to take a look at pictures to see if it may be quicker or longer.
"He's stunned," Fletcher said. "He was kind of shielded on the play. I don't think he saw Hall coming and it came out of the blue. It's not good, but broken bones should heal and he'll get good care. It's a shame. He was playing so well and getting great experience."
As for Granlund, he landed awkwardly after taking a hit in the corner. He's getting more tests today and was feeling better this morning, but the early indication is he will miss the rest of the weekend and maybe next weekend and hopefully be back in two weeks.
"You see him go down and think the worst, but this may be relatively good news," Fletcher said.
That's good news for Granlund. Could have been much worse. Bad news for Brodin, though.

really, this is as good as you could of hoped for after seeing the replays...
both players could have been much worse off.
Granlund is going to see a lot bigger hits than the one by Teubert. If he gets injured on a hit like this, imagine how much worse it will be when he gets hit harder than that.
Future band-aid boy?
It's not like he got hit and was concussed or dislocated his shoulder. He landed awkwardly on his leg, or twisted it as he fell.Originally Posted by Nehithaw

It's funny you should say this, I was inclined to write something very similar myself. I know there's a huge Granlund fan base out there and for good reason but I've had a bad feeling about this kid for a long time. He's had the living S$%T knocked out of him enough times to raise some red flags......don't shoot the messenger.....just sayin
Granlund is expected to return either today or tomorrow as Houston is playing b2b games against Oklahoma.
