I think like at least a dozen of us predicted something like this would happen.

A handful - myself included - guessed it would be during a practice. Figures...

Sucks about granlund. Good news about backlund. Not too pissed about the others.

I wouldn't say he's made of glass just yet.
I haven't seen him shying away from any physical play and he's been fine.
Nasty hits to the head will affect any player regardless of size, toughness, etc.

I'm getting sick if these Canucks getting away with with these attempts to hurt our players. One of the most dangerous attempts occurred in the Friday night game. It went pretty much unnoticed cause Brodie was strong on his feet. I think it was in the 1st period. He was chasing down a puck in the flames end and it was sitting between the face off dot and the boards behind the net. Burrows was chasing him and gave him a shove right from behind while Brodie was going straight toward the boards after the puck. He was about 10 feet way going at high speed and almost lost his balance. Had he not recovered like he did, he would have fallen forward and gone head first into the boards at high speed. It was such a dirty, dangerous play that could have broken his neck. Luckily Brodie was able to recover his balance and not fall down. I'm sure most people didn't notice but I rewound it a couple times on my PVR in frustration that a piece of $&#% like burrows almost seriously hurt one of the flames' best young players. In an exhibition game no less. I really wish mcgrattan would just go and tune him up one of these days. I'm sick of burrows being in this league.

Honestly, somehow I completely skipped over the Smid injury. After I read your post I had to go back to the OP to figure out what you were even talking about. Sucks to hear. Hopefully he's good to go for the opener

[Flash Walken]

Does smid have any teeth left?

He wasn't exactly sporting a sparkling grill to start with.

How exactly does one "narrowly miss" a staph infection?? Ducked behind a wall as it came walking by?

Was really disappointed in Grats and Bollig for not doing anything there. Is there a better time to send a message than during a meaningless exhibition games that you don't touch our skill?

If they aren't going to enforce then what's the point of having them?

Caught the infection before it spread?

Then he still had an infection....

Ladi Smid gave #Flames a scare. Severe tooth infection. Narrowly avoided Staph infection. 5 teeth removed. Should skate

None of the D prospects have overwhelmed so far but I would guess Wotherspoon or Ramage are the most ready.

Bad news now. Markus Granlund suffered suspected concussion last night in Vancouver.

9 injured #Flames on 45 man roster that remains. Crazy.

Bad news for Granlund. Good news for Bennett? (Depending also on Backlund)

Great news for Gaudreau. Shift Raymond to the right (when actually healthy) and slot Johnny in the top 9.

Yes. Which was originally reported.

So how did he narrowly miss having one then?

Edit: So you're saying he narrowly missed a staph infection by having one? Logic!

[Finger Cookin]

I'm no doctor, so I don't know how a tooth infection can progress into a staph infection.

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Local colonization of tissue versus a systemic infection. There, is everyone happy now? Moving on…

[codynw]

When did the hit on Granlund happen? I don't remember seeing it. And who threw it?

Second period, before his penalty. Believe it was Tanev (but not sure)

[Freeway]

Tanev, about 7 minutes into second, elbow right to face.

Staph is just the type of bacteria involved. He either did it didn't have a staph infection. Not sure how you "narrowly miss" having it
