Concussion is still certainly the first thing to think of here, so don’t think this video is me saying that’s not possible. This is just an alternative pathology to think about when the blow to the head wasn’t as intense as we can often see in hockey
-
He and his family are going through a lot already. Hoping and praying for the best.

As a wings fan who was watching live, knowing his history with head/neck injuries in the past with hits from Jamie Benn in 2020 and Mathieu Joseph (who was also involved in tonight’s play) in 2021, this was definitely very scary to watch. Hopefully he’ll be alright, and be brought back in the appropriate amount of time. Thanks doc!
-
Larkin also has a small history of head and neck injuries and that was my biggest worry
-
When an athlete goes down then doesn’t move, it’s so damn scary. Thanks Dr Brian.
-
I chuckled a little when you said he took "a presumably benign looking shot". from a 6'2" 205lb guy with a hockey stick.

Interesting video! In my opinion no matter if it was Carotid sinus hypersensitivity or a brain injury, this was a good opportunity to discuss CSH. I'd never heard of this and talking about things like this is exactly the point of this channel! It's unfortunate that a player was injured but I think it's great that you can bring something good and educational out of a bad situation! My thoughts and prayers are with the player and his loved ones and I wish him a speedy recovery!

Hey Brian could you cover Patrick Kane’s hip resurfacing procedure? I know the basics but I’d love to hear from a professional what happens, how they do it, what it’s correcting, then prognosis and why it’s ended so many careers
-
I’m not a doctor but it looked like #27 hit him “on the button” on that sensitive spot along the jaw that you see fighters get knocked out a lot when hit.

Very few things are as shocking to read as ___ lying motionless. Whether it’s an athlete or someone on the street when it’s this bad they are not moving the situation is truly critical. God Bless that young man. Hockey is a great sport and it matters but a persons day to day ability to live breathe eat function as a person take precedence over everything else.

I was at the game….it was absolutely terrifying. The entire arena was SILENT! You couldn’t heard a pin drop. I sat there nearly holding my breath just praying he’d get up! I hope he is okay and can recover quickly. He and his family are already going through enough. Appreciate this break down and the medical knowledge, I work in healthcare so this is helpful for education!

Jamie Benns hit to the neck of Larkin was not “benign”…. It was a brutal, two-handed cross check to the back of Larkins neck, while the latter was bent over for a face off. Benn leaned over Larkin, and put all of his weight and strength into a forceful, downwards cross check. That play was brutally dangerous and so far out of the realm of normal hockey violence/danger.

One of the best YT channels out there days. So much information for people who don’t know much about this stuff
-
Thats crazy I hope he recovers and comes back better than ever!!!
-
Thank you! Saw this and was really wondering what could have happened. Hope he’s okay, he was so passed out. I was surprised he got off the ice without the stretcher.
-
I got crosschecked in the neck when i was younger, pretty much in the same spot on the neck. It slid a vertebrae sideways and pinched a nerve down my right arm. I just about passed out. I could hear my teammates saying that I was turning green.

We were there and saw it happen . He was out cold before he hit the ice . He was out for a while . He finally woke back up and they had to help him off the ice and he was still out of it .
-
Love your channel, Doc. As an ex-pro player, I can say that initial cross check to the neck is WAY more traumatic than you asses it to be...."If you know, you know". Two hands close together holding a stick at full force into the neck, even at cpose range, can be devastating depending on where exactly the trauma is inflicted. Keep shining, doc 🙏💫

great coverage
