If his pancreas was damaged he will be feeling ill for a long time. Remember similar injury sustained by a player on my hockey team. He couldn't do anything physical for six months.

That's a massive blow. Especially with losing players to the Gold Cup coming up. I'm sure Vanney will be facing questions on the timetable for his return tomorrow at training.
The doctors will need to evaluate his pancreatic functions and that will take time. Dam tiny organ controls a lot of life sustaining activities, so anything less than a 100 percent recovery will be needed before he can resume training. He will likely need to wear some form of underarmour for the foreseeable future. If they used laparoscopy, he may be ready by the playoffs. A lot depends on the degree of the injury...surgery is a last resort when they find extensive bleeding etc. This could have killed him.
I feel awful for Beitashour and his family. He kept playing the rest of the game (and hard). Indeed the pancreas is a nasty place to sustain an injury (or a disease). "In stable condition" doesn't sound great.
Think the Montreal dipshits will stop whining about the game now? That should have been a red. You could just tell from early on that the ref had no clue how to manage the game. SSH in front of me is an old ref; always very fair or balanced towards the refs; gives us all a hard time when we're being homers. But he was going ballistic on Tuesday, especially about the Fisher hit and before.
Damn. Too bad. Sounds like the Endoh experiment will make it's return.
Huge respect for Beita for keep playing until the end. Hoping for a speedy recovery for him.
Ridiculous on how the tackle by Fisher was overshadowed by Bernier's red card. I doubt Fisher meant to injure Beita like this, but this tackle should've been a straight red, I don't care how much you want to let things go, crossing the line is crossing the line. Listening to Biello's post-game interview made me even more furious, how does he not know his role.
Organ damage is bad, especially with the pancreas. It looks like it will take a while before he gets back with the team, this is sad. I expect CSA coming down with multiple heavy suspensions.

Sadly I don't expect anything from CSA, hopefully I'm wrong...
Thoughts and prayers to Steven and his family, Fisher should have been red carded for intent to injure.
Damn.
Moving this here from game thread. I was torqued about this play in real time, now I am seriously pissed.
Abdominal surgery!
Fisher should be arrested. That is premeditated. It's assault. Hockey players have been charged for less.
Caldwell's taken a major hit to his credibility here. If he has half a brain, he'll apologize for his call.

He came over to 112 after the ceremony/slow clap, signed some stuff, gave a kid his jersey.
I'm genuinely upset by this, and I was irate when it happened.
Get well soon.

I'm trying to calm down from being so incredibly pissed off about this. Attempting to be rational is hard at this point. So very much wrong with this whole situation and I know there will be no remedy meted out that tries to restore balance. The CSA will do sweet fuck all to MTL or the player. The PRO will do nothing to sanction a ref that shouldn't be taking charge of timbits games. Even the almost meaningless case of Caldwell's stupidity on the call will have no remediation. (and I respect Caldwell as a player/father/human. he was so solid for us and I was sad to see him retire but he blew that call which is a disservice to those who are new to the game and don't know the laws yet.)
Fuck.
I hope he recovers well. that is a tough one to come back from.
Awful news.
I think it would be wise to assume Beita's done for the season and move a mid (Cooper) for a decent RB that has the quality to fill in long term.
Do we dare say we look at Fraser Aird?
Only stating his name as he is the only unattached Right Back / Right Wing Back I know of off the top of my head.

Anyone have any idea what the recovery time on something like this is?
Best wishes to Beta for a full and speedy recovery
Very difficult to predict recovery time without knowing the extent of his pancreatic injuries. He could be fine in a month, or, it could take more than a year to ensure the organ is working properly. Or, he may never play again.This is not the same as a torn muscle or busted bone. He needs the pancreas to survive. If it fails, he could be in deep trouble (he is lucky he was treated so quickly, but continuing to play may have worsened the injury, if it was bleeding for eg.). Odd that MLSE has been so quiet about this.

really depends but with the pancreas often times you need to get nutrition intravenously for a couple of weeks and keep the proteins low. not sure exactly what went wrong here but the time lines can go from a quarter to a full year and possibly be career ending. His tweets seem to be optimistic though so I'm holding out hope it's the low side of the recovery spectrum.
Hey, is there anything that we can do for Beita? He took one for the team, literally, and it sounds like he is still in the hospital. It would be nice to show our appreciation in some way. I am happy to coordinate, if that would be helpful, and if there is something that makes sense.
This is the kind of situation where I wish we could get a player on loan, it they feel they need more cover at Beitashour's position. I wouldn't want Beita forced out by some new signing when he comes back from injury.
Although from Vanney's interview with John Molinaro, it sounds like they will make do with what they got.

I hope Beita gets better soon. I've seen rough plays like that in lower levels of soccer, but not an injury like that. It seems like a bit of a freak injury to me.
Terrible hit. Hope Beitashour makes a speedy recover. We need him.
Didn't even fucking try for the fucking ball - piece of shit.
