Armia was coming through the middle when Abid followed through with a cross check to the head. The Finnish winger finished the game, garnering over 18 minutes of work, but was plagued by headaches afterwards and was immediately ruled out of Tuesday's action.
Armia missed one game in October after getting his bell rung, and Sabres fans are now forced to hope that this isn't a recurring issue for the budding 19-year old sniper.
Abid wasn't penalized on the play but was given a four-game suspension Monday by SM-Liiga disciplinary officials.

As far as I know that was Armia's second concussion. Experts are starting to believe that after 3 concussions an athlete should retire. If Armia makes it to Buffalo, I wouldn't count on him lasting long here. What a shame.
If that were true, every player in the league would be retired by now. Concussions happen some worse than others. Hopefully he can bounce back
"If that were true, every player in the league would be retired by now."
And that's going to change once the multitude of ex-players start sueing the NHL for its lack of protection regarding concussions while they were playing.
Bs. One of my d.d.p teachers back in high school, played football and has 6 concussions and still was able to move on play in his senior year.
