To the surprise of no one at all [John-Michael Liles](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55475/john-michael-liles?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) has been placed on the IR with "concussion like symptoms" after being diagnosed with a "sore neck". If this sounds familiar to you that's because it's exactly what happened earlier this season after [Brian Gionta](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54964/brian-gionta?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) kicked [James Reimer](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54304/james-reimer?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) in the head.

Liles got crushed by [Paul Gaustad](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55215/paul-gaustad?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) on what looks like a pretty clean hit:

This could be a big loss for the Leafs. Liles was tied for 14th in points by a defender with [Dion Phaneuf](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54651/dion-phaneuf?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), Michael del Zotto and [John Carlson](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/58044/john-carlson?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) overall, and 10th on the powerplay (tied with Phaneuf, [Kris Letang](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55422/kris-letang?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and [Duncan Keith](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/56112/duncan-keith?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)). Those are some pretty serious names. 

The Leafs need Liles to make a speedy recovery to help the playoff effort or to increase his value for a move at the trade deadline. He's been an excellent use of a late 2nd round pick so far and obviously we here at the blog wish him a speedy recovery.
