The third day of the Blackhawks' prospects camp ended early Wednesday when defenseman Simon Danis-Papin hit the ice face-first with a scary neck injury. Danis-Papin, at 6-7 the tallest player in the Hawks' organization, collided with a teammate early in the third period of a scrimmage. He was largely motionless while trainer Mike Gapski and his staff administered medical treatment for about 20 minutes. After the other players were sent off the ice, Danis-Papin was taken by ambulance to Loyola Hospital, where he was to have X-rays taken. Gapski said the hospital trip was precautionary.

Poor guy, being 6"7 he had a long way to go before he hit the ice.

Danis-Papin gets hurt and they put a picture of Denis Savard and Martin Lapointe, who's not even a Hawk anymore! Nice going!

Hope the guy is all right.

Yeah, I know what you mean, DCruiser, sometimes the stories and pictures don't match at all.

Remember how a face plant ruined Kevin Stevens after he was hit by Islanders Rich Pilon's visor?

Stevens was never the same after that.

I always blamed it on Bonnie myself.

Brother Brett couldn't take a hit either.

I've never heard of this guy, but i hope he's all right; GO HAWKS!

I would watch a Pay-Per-View of the Lindros brothers and President Bush on Jeopardy. It would take all night though

I hope he's ok. I loved watching him play while he was at UMaine- nothing like see all 6'7" of him come bearing down on anyone with the puck and watching them panic. :)

The Blackhawks definitely picked up a quality player.

Hank, any thoughts on the Jason Strudwick signing, I'm not familiar with him.

July 10, 2008  04:36 PM ET

Sorry to go off topic.

No, he's waiting with bated breath to see what Mats does, 'cause he really really likes him.
