Backes and Oshie both have concussions. #stlblues

Oh Boy...

**** me gently .... I drafted Oshie this year because he fell so far in my league that I thought I got him as a late steal. I really hope this doesn't last long and that he gets his shit together.

Schwartz and Tarasenko may just exploded again this week. I guess Steen will move to center the top line, or Lehtra may get a chance?

Hitch said Oshie has something else going on as well; not sure if it's the bacterial ailment or what. #stlblues

Sounds mysterious ....

[VincentVega]

That would explain his poor production this season

I doubt they break up Tarasenko and Lehtera. They've been playing well together.

"Backes is concussed, out ... Oshie is concussed, out," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "Oshie has something else going, plus the concussion. We're not sure whether it's the bacterial (infection)."

...

Both Backes and Oshie were concussed in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime victory over Dallas.

Backes' head hit the ice after a hit by the Stars' Trevor Daley with 4:49 left in the first period.

Oshie's came in the second period, after he was shoved into the goal post by the Stars' Patrick Eaves, smacking the left side of his face.

Backes left the game and underwent concussion protocol. Oshie remained in the game and did not seem to be suffering any effects.

"No, it came a day later," Hitchcock said. "There's more to it than just the concussion right now. We've just getting an evaluation on that. We'll get that report tonight."

Nice to see Paajarvi getting back into the lineup. My UHL roster would sure like to see some production from him at some point.

Oh man...thought I'd gotten lucky with injuries so far, but I guessed I knocked on fake wood...

Feel bad for Oshie, get healed and come back strong...thankfully our league voted in IR+ so I do not need to wait

[rataylor22]

Steen-Lehtera-Tank could be great. Three real big guys.

Crazy all the undrafted Europeans that get pursued/signed every offseason, of course it's a loaded team like the Blues that strike gold.

Any more news about this piece of dead weight? Im about to drop him for Marchand.

[PrairieDog]

OK then, might as well start planning for next year

Holy crap what a bad start for all but one of my 5 leagues...

[Luffy D Monkey]

Can I get some advice on what to do with Oshie plz?

Starting to sound like just hold him? He has a bacterial infection to go with his concussion. Maybe we can attribute some of his slow start to that.
