Hurricanes future on defense gets hit hard
 |
| Ryan Murphy |
Ryan Murphy, the Carolina Hurricanes' top pick (12th
overall) in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft was hit hard during an Ontario Hockey
League (OHL) game between his junior club, the Kitchener Rangers, and the
Niagara IceDogs on Friday night in Kitchener, Ontario.
According to a report from the Waterloo Record, Murphy was
hit by IceDogs player Tom Kuhnhackl on a play behind the Kitchener net.
Kuhnhackl appeared to have left his feet before he contacted Murphy into the
boards leaving the Carolina prospect on the ice lying motionless for a time
before getting up and leaving the ice surface on his own.
Murphy is not playing in the Rangers lineup in Saturday's return game against the IceDogs and is listed with an upper-body injury.
The OHL suspended Kuhnhackl for Saturday's game and further suspension is under consideration by the league.
There has been no subsequent report on Murphy's condition since Friday night's game which has many in Kitchener and Raleigh, N.C. concerned on the future of the talented young defenseman.
It's not the first time that Murphy has been sidelined with a similar injury as he sat out a few games back in March 2011 after taking an elbow to the face in a game against the Kingston Frontenacs.

Get in the game
As the players hit the ice, the rosters of Fantasy Hockey managers everywhere were activated.
True veterans of this unique and engaging way to follow the sport and the league had their rosters ready and updated while rookies to the league still have a lot to learn - i.e. activate players who are scheduled to play on a given night because that will be helpful in accumulating points.
Not mentioning names here.
Friday night spotlight
Friday night brings another set of league games to kick off the season for teams and their fans including the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh, N.C.
Caniacs have been anticipating the season's start as much as the team has and have provided supportive turnouts at Prospect Camp and throughout sessions of the team's recent training camp, including the annual Red-White Scrimmage.
The Hurricanes face off against the Tampa Bay Lightning at the RBC Center on Friday with the intention of redeeming themselves against the Eastern Conference foe that denied them a playoff spot last April and to get a positive start to the 2011-2012 season in front of their fans.
X's & O's
The new feature titled X's & O's will continue on Friday night as the team's plays will be posted via Twitter and drawn up to help fans understand what the team's new game plan is intended to do.
