FML. I doubt we see Ferly again given his concussion earlier this year.

[CaptainCrunch]

yeah, I have a feeling that Ferland is out long term, he looked absolutely cross eyed. It makes you worry about concussions, he's had two in a year.

[jar_e]

I think by Ferland's reaction immediately after and his frustration on the bench/hitting the board with his stick, it's probably not going to be good. He knows something is up.

If Hudler misses anymore then this game, I'd be incredibly concerned for this series.

[codynw]

Ferland got hit right in the head and looked completely out of it after. He's probably got another concussion.

[calumniate]

First one was so ugly. Dammit jones

Haven't seen Johnny in the 3rd either??

[Roof-Daddy]

Johnny is on the bench. Hartley just not playing him. Don't know if it's a precaution or if he's actually benched for bad play. Either way it's stupid.

Also......**** you concussions. **** off.

[Tiger]

It seemed like his leg was bothering him when he was leaving the ice (Ferland that is)

[Darkwater]

Horrid news. I hope they're alright. Johnny too.

[Blarg]

If Hudler and Ferland are gone for an extended period, I could see Poirier and Wolf filling in for them respectively

Johnny probably sat because of the score and for his give away up the middle.

He was doing a fair bit of wincing

Really sucks about Ferland. As if he hasn't had it bad enough, he finds a little success and some joy in his life and he suffers another setback. BS.

[browna]

Ducks were ready for Ferland whereas the Canucks (and no one else) was. Plus the Ducks have to average 3" taller and 25lbs heavier so not sure if he could keep that up.
Hudler is disconcerting, looked like a back tweak.

Yeah, I think that's why Ferly looked so mad on the bench. Another really frustrating setback must be a helpless feeling, especially given how good things had been going.

I think Ferland is done. That looks like a concussion. I think he was pissed off because he knows.

Johnny I think its a combination of protection, rest, benching

What the heck happened to Hudler? That would be a huge blow.

This was more about the Flames playing like hot garbage, than it was about Anaheim dominating.

Score in the game doesn't matter anymore. Its only 1-0.

Learning experience after a long break in the playoffs. They werent ready to play.

[BlAcKNoVa]

Ferland's was quite obvious what happened to him. But I'm not sure how Hudler got injured. Could it have been that slash he recieved by...was it Getzlaf? I didn't see what happened to Gaudreau though so I can't really comment on that but my brother mentioned he was hit from behind?

Agree. I would add benched to make him watch how the Ducks played and was told to see how he could exploit them. Like making a player sit in the press box in the middle of a game.

[red sky]

Why the hell did Ferland play another shift after his collision? He should have been taken back and evaluated then. He had a great hit earlier in the period that went unnoticed by the announcer. Whatever his name is.
