Hopefully he's okay.

Wow that was quick!!!!

[Konnan511]

As disgusting as it was watching him flail his legs around, that's a great sign that most likely his only injury would be a concussion and not any type of cranial or other head trama, plus even though he obviously looked scared he was also responsive and aware.

Get well soon Patty!!!!!

Bill Roose reported on twitter that Eaves was loaded into a DMC ambulance and taken off for testing and probably observation.

[Aussie_Wing]

He just has no luck. He was playing so well tonight (as usual).

Get well SOON Patty.

[IllinoisRedWingsFan]

Hope he is okay.

[WizardOfOz30]

I'm sure he'll be checked out and hopefully nothing to worry about. It looked like he passed out there for a few seconds but he was definitely alert but shaken up when he was trying to get on that stretcher.

Get well quickly Patty!

Poor Eaves, just when he gets to play this has to happen to him. I don't think it is fair that he has to sit while others who are contributing nothing to the team get to play every game. I hope he gets better soon.

Wow, I hope he is ok.
Reported it hit him in the right ear, no helmet, full impact, dangerous stuff.

[Hockeytown0001]

I thought he was unconscious at first. He may have been for a few moments.

He was out for atleast a minute.
Some rough luck this season.

Edit: Felt like an hour watching it.

It was a weird injury. At first he was down on his hands and knees as he reached up to grab his ear. But after about a second or two he passed out and "star-fished" on the ice. It looked like he was out cold for about 5-10 seconds. Then he came to and kept kicking his legs.

The player that shot the puck was 21 year old rookie Roman Josi. Josi was quite the class act, he went over to Eaves as he laid on the ice and he also went over to Eaves as they roll him off the ice and gave a stick-tap to the stretcher. Josi looked like he was going to throw up, he felt so badly about accidentally injuring Eaves.

I hope Eaves is alright.

I can't imagine how bad it would hurt to have an 80mph frozen puck drill into my ear. When a snowball hits my ear at 15mph I'm crying like a little girl.

Get well soon Pat!!!

Get well soon, Patty

How this guy doesn't play every game especially over emmerton is beyond me. Emmerton is invisible, does nothing with his minutes. Eaves shoots and can kill penalties... And compliments Helm most of all better than anyone. I liked Cleary with them solid line.

First White blocking a shot with his face and now this. Although it was a horrific scene, this just shows how much heart the team has to sacrifice themselves to block a single shot. I'm sure Eaves didn't intend to block it with his ear, but every time a player blocks any shot they risk having something like that happen. That, to me, shows they have heart, not to mention balls!

Get well soon, Patty!

@kausatoday Kevin Allen
Detroit's Patrick Eaves suffered a fractured jaw when hit by a puck. He's at the hospital and will be examined to see if surgery is needed.

[wingfanatic4alltime]

I agree 100 percent with Ken Daniels when he told Mickey that he had no idea how his generation played without helmets. Get well soon Patty!

[redwingfan19]

and you damn well know that once eaves is back he will be right there putting himself in harms way blocking shots again. wish there was more guys on this team that had guts like that.

get back soon patty!
