Not official no, but this guy is usually pretty reliable.

Yeah, no worries, most of the who's who of hockey reporting on twitter follow him, so he is as I said quite reliable.

TORONTO -- There was no quiet room for Colby Armstrong. No imPACT test, either.
The Toronto Maple Leafs didn't have a chance to follow any of the guidelines set out in the NHL's concussion protocol because they were unaware the forward was even experiencing symptoms until almost 48 hours after the collision that caused them.
Armstrong was injured during Saturday night's game against Vancouver but didn't let the team's medical staff know he was feeling nauseous until Monday afternoon.
"It took us all by complete shock because we had no idea that he had his bell rung the other night," Leafs coach Ron Wilson said after Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to Los Angeles. "He kind of kept that from us."
In fact, Armstrong told reporters on Monday morning that he expected to play against the Kings despite a minor foot injury. Now he'll be sidelined indefinitely with something much more serious.
Wilson offered a surprisingly frank recap of how the situation played out.
"Well here's what happened," he said. "In the game the other night, (Armstrong) hit Ryan Kesler and actually he cracked his toe, but that wasn't an issue. He didn't tell the trainers or the doctors yesterday that he had his bell rung. (This afternoon) he was nauseated, blurry vision, so he's got a concussion and we didn't know that until later in the afternoon.
"He's going to be out however long he needs to be out now."
The 29-year-old winger has missed time with a variety of ailments over the last year and a half, playing just nine games for the Maple Leafs this season. Wilson hinted that that may have played a role in his attempt to hide the concussion.
"Things have been going so badly for him with injuries," said the coach.

I think I remember the hit. Although I have no way of finding it right now, I think Armstrong went to hit Kesler as he was coming around the net in the corner and he hit him, but the hit didn't really do much and Kesler just stood him up. They commented on it during the game as the hit didn't move Kesler.

He's likely out at least another month or two. Guy just can't catch a break.
