Statement from the Flyers late last night:
Flyers forward Scott Laughton will be staying overnight at Jefferson Hospital for precautionary reasons. All tests are negative.
That’s great news. He was moving his arms and talking while on the ice, so that seemed to rule out the worst in that situation.
Strange play, too. Not the typical neck compression you’re worried about on hits into the boards, but a weird torque of his back-neck as he hit it with such force.
Side note: I’d take a swipe at Jim Hughson, the Canadian broadcaster in this video, for his dig at Flyers fans while Laughton was on the ice, but Hughson provided the soundtrack to my childhood in video games. So, it’s OK, Jim, you can stay. You make me feel warm.

He seems to be doing better than me. Talked to Mr. Snyder, he like the goaltender change.
Anything on the roast?
looked like he was faking to give the flyers a rest
Jesus.
When the screen went black i decided to mow the grass. Is the series over?
Remember when the whole McCout thing went down and Sean Brace got LeSean McCoy on Vvdeo and he claimed McCoy said he made a mistake????
How irresponsible can you be? Hey Brace if you want to be in the media, follow some rules of responsibility.
You are a joke.
Wonder if he got his dick sucked by one of the nurses over at Jefferson . Word on the street is Scotty is a pussy hound
Where’s the “dig”?
“Fan involvement again…” at 45 seconds. But in hindsight, it wasn’t Hughson who said it.
Side note? Speaking of side notes wonder if Wayne gave those brothers tickets behind the bench
I wonder what that maniac Edward Murphy thought about this
Dearest Mr. Bryant,
While this was in fact quite the serious incident, the visual evidence is clear. Mr Laughton is a bit of a ‘vertically challenged” individual, a Hartnellesque character to coin a phrase. Although Mr. Karlson applies just the slightest bit of pressure he sets Mr. laughton off balance just enough that he toe picks himself here and corkscrews himself down into the dashers. While unfortunate, it seems as if the clumsy goose is recovering nicely, even perhaps receiving oral favors from the nursing staff as Mr. Huge Fan of Pete the crab so wryly suggested. My overwhelming concern for the safety of our boys in orange does not leave me blind to the fact that unfortunate incidents do occur in the pursuit of Lord Stanley’s cup. I am very excited about the news that Mr Gretzky the consummate professional and Lady Byng winning gentleman is purchasing the Snider family shares and taking over the presidency of the team. Never again shall we see the logo’s of Koho and Mylec discreetly shoved into the equipment bags of our beloved Flyers again by Mr. Bricker that scallywag!!!
