    Hope he doesn't go the route Mike Sauer took! And we all know Sauer has never returned from his
    concussion.

    Terrible news for Mark and the rangers. Can only take so many of these before you need to get out and insure the rest of your life will be ok

    Is it possible Staal retires, Girardi gets bought out and Klein goes to LV?

    Again, bring up Graves. Get him as many games now before the playoffs.

    I'd like to see Graves for a least a few games if they think he's ready. Let Staal rest through the AS break.

    I agree bring up graves now and get the kid some experience. Also, clendening should be rotating with girardi and klein.

    Hate to see a guy finish like that but this is Staal's third major head injury. Time to retire and time for the Rangers to give Graves a look.

    These athletes never quit. They have to be forced out the door. Especially hockey players.

    I agree cage but concussions have nothing to do with toughness. Marc is plenty tough but unfortunately concussions reach the point of no return with regards to making sure your ok for the rest of your life. Has had 3 already doesn't mean if he has a 4th he will.
