The Rangers lost on home ice to the Flyers, 5-3. Very bad loss for the Rangers. Those are 2 pts they had to get.

I think the more important thing is not the game but Shanahan, and his family.
Hockey comes second

I don’t think you should have looked at this game as a fan, but as a person......right now you should be praying for Shanahan and his Wife and Children. Not about 2 point’s man!

That's brutal, the Flyers are the worst team in the NHL.

Curious, I hadn't heard anything about the Shanahan injury. So I went digging and found this...

Rangers forward Shanahan hospitalized following collision with Philadelphia's Knuble - NHL - Yahoo! Sports

NEW YORK (AP) -- Brendan Shanahan was hospitalized Saturday after a hard collision with Philadelphia's Mike Knuble that left the New York Rangers forward unconscious on his back for several minutes.

Shanahan skated toward the bench as Knuble came the other way. Neither player saw the other and they slammed shoulder-to-shoulder. Shanahan went flying backward and struck his head against the ice when he fell 7:27 into the third period of the Rangers' 5-3 loss.

X-rays and a CT scan were taken on Shanahan at St. Vincent's Hospital. All the tests were negative, but Shanahan was to be kept overnight for observation. The Rangers said he was awake, alert and moving all his extremities.

"It's always hard to see any of your players go down whether it's coincidental or otherwise," Rangers coach Tom Renney said. "It's tough, but we're going to have to overcome that and play in the spirit of what he's all about anyway. Hopefully he won't be out too long."

So it looks like the worst case scenario didn't happen -- he's awake and moving his limbs, which is good.

Any idea how much time Shanahan is expected to miss yet?

its one of those situations that is touch and go you sit for a week or so and start seeign how your body reacts just to some cardio and some skate arounds(no equipment or hitting)
This is definently one of the scary things in hockey, cause he whacked his head off the ice. Just gotta hope he can recover, the rangers need to move on, but shannhan has to make sure he takes care of his body first
