Major Concern Has Philadelphia Flyers Star Awkwardly Crashes Into Goalpost
Last night's 3-2 loss to the New York Islanders left a bitter taste for the Philadelphia Flyers.
The captain of the New York Islanders made a controversial move by tripping Farabee, leading to a collision with the post. While Farabee's current status is uncertain, there's hope he's not seriously injured. The lack of action raises concerns, especially regarding player safety.
«This could easily be suspension worthy. A dirty play from Anders Lee, slew footing Joel Farabee into the post. I'm surprised Farabee wasn't injured on the play, his body/leg went weirdly into the post. #LetsGoFlyers»
Despite the full play being taken into account, only Farabee faced penalties due to the incident. Adding to the concern, Farabee had just started feeling like himself after neck surgery last season, raising worries about potential long-term effects.
The NHL's approach of blaming victims for their responses rather than holding the real instigator accountable is a point of frustration.
«Despite being given a recovery timeline of three-to-four months, Farabee still took part in training camp and even appeared in all 82 games of the regular season. But he very clearly wasn't Joel Farabee. It was obvious he was nowhere close to 100% following his neck injury, and it plagued him throughout the season. As a result, he struggled to find consistency for much of the campaign.»
