Cole Cofield would be right, many Canadian players have confirmed

Last night, everyone held their breath as they watched Cole Coffield go down in battle.

After all, it’s normal to worry When you see a hit like this, it’s directed at the first scorer from the club. He was taken out of the game and the word “concussion” became relevant in his condition.

After all, even if the check was legal, the outcome would have been the same: Cole was out.

In the end, the Canadian didn’t fare badly, considering the win, but let’s say #22 might have helped his people with an extra man during the match.

Having said that, because we talk about a man before we talk about a player, we worry more about him than about a striker. We hope he doesn’t get hurt.

And according to his teammates, who spoke with him, “he’s going to be fine.”

Juraj Slavkovsky didn’t say what the problem was, but it’s clear that everyone has seen the footage. We suspect that the fault is not in the knee, for example. The Canadian spoke about the upper body.

Note that other players spoke on this topic and confirmed Slavkovsky’s words. Nick Suzuki is one of them.

In a post-match press conference, Martin St. Louis stated that his No. 22 striker would be re-evaluated today. We can expect to miss today’s optional training.

Will he wear uniform tomorrow in Ottawa? Too early to disclose.

If Cofield can’t play tomorrow, it means the Canadian has to play someone else’s. But yesterday CH played only 12 healthy strikers.

Jonathan Drouin is close to returning to play, so will he be ready to play tomorrow? Good question.

If Drouin and Caufield can’t play, the Canadian probably won’t be able to play with seven defenders since Mike Matheson and David Savard are still on the sidelines. So someone from Laval must be called again. Anthony Richard?

To summon Richard, the player has to accompany Jonathan Drouin and Brendan Gallagher on the usual casualty list. Sean Monahan and the injured Quebec defenders are among the favourites. The same game must be done to activate Drouin.
