Kyle Okposo: Suffers Mild Concussion Thursday
Update:
Okposo has been diagnosed with a mild concussion after leaving the ice on a stretcher following a hit from Calgary's Dion Phaneuf in Thursday's preseason game, NY Newsday reports.
Recommendation:
Okposo was motionless for several minutes before being removed by the on-site medical staff. The Isles took exception to the hit because they felt Phaneuf left his feet and delivered his shoulder directly to Okposo's head. Phaneuf's unwillingness to drop the gloves as the game progressed also irked the Isles, as they wanted him to back up his physical play. Fortunately, it sounds like Okposo is going to be OK, as he was cleared to fly with the team back to Saskatchewan afterward.

Looking at the video . . .
it looked VERY suspicious, and I don’t blame the Isles for getting pissed . . . but it looked clean compared to damn near anything the likes of Marty McSorley have done.
Glad to see that he’s apparently gonna be just fine.
One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.
