The Verdict: Rad Brad Concussed
Posted by Patricia Greuter under Notes Notes Notes! , RAD BRAD LUKOWICH
So, thanks to the elbow of one, Mr. Colby Armstrong (who, apparently does have quite the strong arm), Rad Brad Lukowich will be out of the Devils lineup for an indefinite amount of time with a concussion.
Better yet, one, Mr. Colby Armstrong, who was not even penalized on the blatant elbow, will likely not even see any disciplinary action from the NHL. They’ll be too busy giving Time Out to Chris Simon, I reckon.
Sure, Dumbass Simon deserves all the attention in the world right now, as he McSorley’ed his way into the league’s (in)famous Hall of Shame, but damnit, this is really not good for the Devils. Already without Colin White, who apparently injured his hand in the pregame skate, the Devils are now down two defensemen…with no wiggle room to boot.
Uh oh.
Will Matvichuk make a triumphant return finally, or do we dare see Brendan Mark Fraser back in the lineup again? Surely depends on the severity of Luk’s injury, but either way, I’m quite bummed. Gosh darnit, our boys are still struggling, even with the miraculous Patty El shootout winning goal, and the last thing this team needs is a severely depleted lineup, barely rounding third and limping into the regular season’s home base. Rochester’s Finest Brian Gionta is still day-to-day with, again, what the Devils call a “tweaked groin,” which, boys and girls, let us remember is really Devils speak for “Brian Gionta’s bottom half has mysteriously detached from his body.” That leaves us without three key players.
Again, I must say, uh oh.
Uh oh indeed.

Is there a video of this somewhere? I bet THN is celebrating right now.

I can’t find any video. Between the Simon talk, Pittsburg staying or going, and the death of the father of the Pens’ coach, this is getting swept under the rug. I’ll try to get the video up on my lunch break.

Make sure you get the angle from the other side of the rink. THAT is the camera that shows it really well.

I just finished uploading the video to youtube. As soon as it is processed, I’ll post the link. Don’t worry, I got THAT angle.

Haha… thanks for THAT. I’ll check it out later

that’s crap. Janssen’s hit was legal, just like a second late, and he gets suspended, but elbowing is illegal, and Lukowich ended up with a concussion, just like what’s his name, and Armstrong doesn’t even get a freaking penalty. what did we ever do to them (aside from the doughnut crack)?

Kobe Byrant got 1 game suspension, why can’t Colby?
Yeah, I’m that bored to listen to NBA news.
NHL is soooo much better!
