7ETA: I just saw a zoomed-in view of the hit on the local news, changing my interpretaion of the play (see EDITS below). That clip also showed Kyrou on the bench afterward, putting his open hand over his eyes while gripping his temples. Sure looked to me like a guy reacting to a headache.
Stopped to play the puck ... ALONG THE rink glass ... and his head SEEMED TO MAKE contact WITH THE GLASS after a clean hit. Hockey sucks sometimes, especially when you're on the 2022-23 Blues roster.

9I know he holds his head, but I wonder if it's actually shoulder injury. Did they officially say concussion or just upper body?JMC-STL wrote: Tue Dec 20, 2022 8:22 pmStopped to play the puck right at a rink glass stanchion, and his head made contact after a clean hit.

11Kyrou out with that late game hit, and Buchnevich and Schenn get Acciari.
Blues get an early power play! Let's open the scoring!

12Thomas had a nice shot with that poster. But, The Blues (Leddy) take a penalty.

14Faulk with a nice scoring chance on the PK!
Nice couple of saves by Greiss!
And Dunn hits the post!

16The Blues were really getting careless with their passes, and after giving about 5 in a row away, it came back to haunt them, with a goal against.
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues at Seattle - 9:00 12/20 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
17The Blues had a 3 on 2 and great passing, but Tarasenko missed the shot with quite a bit of open net. 
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues at Seattle - 9:00 12/20 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
18The Blues were too lax and careless in The 1st Period. They need to bear down more, and tighten up in The 2nd.
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues at Seattle - 9:00 12/20 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
19Blues are going to have to do better than 2 shots at even strength on goal.

20No. They didn't specify. But do they usually announce if a person is out with a concussion?Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Tue Dec 20, 2022 9:17 pmDoes that include his head though or do they specify?BluesSK wrote: Tue Dec 20, 2022 9:06 pmJust upper body.Dave's a mess wrote: Tue Dec 20, 2022 8:36 pm

21I guess Toropchenko just shoved that backhander into the goalie's stick, hoping his trailing teammate would knock in the rebound, but, I wish he'd work on moves and close-in shots.
At least Greiss made a great save, keeping the score close, when The Kracken came into The Blues' Zone. But, soon after, The Blues took a penalty.

24I hate the way this team crumples under any sort of adversity.
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues at Seattle - 9:00 12/20 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
25The Blues seem to be two strides slower than The Kracken, and have not enough energy to follow their shots and knock the puck in, and also too little strength on their passes.
