[Brooks] Quel bordel. Chytil est de retour à son domicile de New York après évaluation, peu de détails disponibles, mais il semble que l’incident au cours duquel le numéro 72 est tombé sur la glace cet matin soit lié d’une manière ou d’une autre à une commotion cérébrale présumée du 2 novembre. C’est certainement un revers et cela crée des complications pour NYR, Drury.
What a mess. Chytil back in his NY home after evaluation, few details available but it seems the incident in which No. 72 went down on the ice this AM is related in some way to Nov. 2 suspected concussion. It's a setback for sure and it creates complications for NYR, Drury.

Time to retire. This is much more than hockey
Now this is bad. Previous tweet was speculative. Now we are in the shitter
Feel awful for the kid. Now we gotta get ourselves a 3C.
Drury will make it happen. God damn this whole thing sucks.
Our adhoc « rebuild » looks even worse than it already did 🙁
Drury needs to do the right thing and rethink his commitment to these veterans 🙁
I hate this for him. He’s got to go full Kenny Rogers and know when to fold ‘em… for his long term health sake.
I understand that he wasn’t actually back yet but the idea of them bringing him back this season was a mistake in the first place. Should have taken the season to heal.
Fil 😢
Fuck
Damn really hope he’s ok in the long run, this is bigger than hockey now. Might be time for him to retire so he can still live a quality life
This absolutely sucks. Just hope the kid can be okay again after all this, only 24 years old.
They gotta sit him for at least the next 365 days no less, if not retirement is closing in even faster
I mean thank god something like this happened on a 3man optional skate instead of getting ran over by Brent Burns in a playoff game and ending up in a bed unable to eat or drink for the rest of your life
An average NHL career lasts 5 years.
There is just no way he will ever come back to his real self as a hockey player again, time to retire from the game and enjoy life instead
Omg. How does it keep getting WORSE.
What we know (per reports from Lazarus) is Chytil was on the ice in pain for a few minutes and couldn’t put weight on his left leg. The team then called it an upper body injury. Chytil had been in a non contact jersey and there were only two other players on the ice with him, who helped him off.
If I’m wagering a guess based on the circumstances, Chytil experienced a still underlying concussion symptom event that caused him to collapse, causing some sort of left leg injury, which is what caused the pain. This would most likely just mean the current concussion hasn’t healed fully yet and would need more time than originally thought – and would qualify as a setback to the original concussion. I would assume a reconcussion would cause a dazed feeling, not writhing in pain. Plus, the wording “setback to the original injury” doesn’t imply a second concussion, which would be a new injury.
I’d say prepare him for September over April, use the extra deadline space on a 3C and a finishing RW. If it become necessary to find a permanent 3C, Drury can absolutely figure that out. Just find some team with a middle six center up for grabs and offer guys like Jones/Robertson/etc plus pick(s).
This is awful. Lots more to life than hockey.
Fil has to retire man. It’s not worth it
My heart is broken.
This is sad honestly. Hopefully he will be okay long term. We’ll see if this team can come together now knowing chytil mania isnt coming back this year. Lets go get vlad back and a new 3c.
In hockey terms – they’ve gotta put him on LTIR and trade for a center asap. You’re not going to get far in the playoffs if your third line is a glorified checking line that only Will Cuylle can score from (and if your putative first line can’t seem to generate anything at 5v5). In personal terms – I really feel for Fil; this is bigger than hockey and he has to do whatever is right for him to ensure his long-term health beyond the game. Maybe that’s retirement or maybe it’s just sitting out until sometime next season, but I hope that whether he plays again or not he’s able to fully recover and have a long and healthy life after his career is over.
All the best to Fil.
I think it simplifies things for Drury, not complicates them. Fil won’t be the answer for this year; take the money saved due to LTIR and find the best replacement he can. Hope for the best for next season
Elias Lindholm YOU are a New York Ranger!
Just retire, Chytil. We love you and want you to play but your health is more important. Please don’t risk a lifetime of CTE complications.
It’s not a complication. It’s clarity. Shitty clarity. But still clarity.
He’s done. Honestly I’m thankful it happened this way and not in a game.
Now we know he’s done short AND long term.
We have the money to afford someone in the immediate and with so many teams near cap, it’ll drive the cost down. We CANNOT give up a 1st.
And I think the reality of either Miller or Schneider being traded skyrockets in order to get a cost controlled young 3C on our roster now as well in the offseason
This is depressing. Feel so bad for him. Part of the ranger family forever Fil no matter what happens. Been a pleasure to watch you develop into a legit NHL player.
I hate this so much
My heart breaks for him and his family. You got this Filip.

Hang it up, Fil. It’s not worth ruining your life. Drury, pick up the phone and get a center. Try not to fuck up the trade like you usually do.
