injury report: Igor Shesterkin is Day-to-Day with Mild Groin Strain

Link:

I can't help but think about when Richter tore his groin in his second year. He didn't regain his form for... years.

I knew about the bad knee injuries he had late in career (I saw them happen), but I didn't know he had a bad groin injury early in his career. Hasek tore his groin and was out for months.

He injured his groin in the middle of 91-92. He came back late, but was not the same. The following season was an unmitigated disaster, culminating with him being sent to the minors. He didn't recover until 93-94. 94 and 97 playoffs not withstanding, one could argue that he was at his most dominate pre groin, as he was a Vezina finalist that first year, something he never was again.

I hopped up here to see if there was any update this morning. I watched this one at the bar, so there was no sound, and it looked like he hurt his back or something. I don't think the shot even hit him; I thought that's what it was at first, but after the replay it looked as if the shot went over the net.

I hope he's ok....he was playing so well lately, too!

This looked BRUTAL, but non-contact injuries are odd. Let's hope its a low-grade sprain and not a tear.

Should get an update today, yeah?

Edit - I suppose the hard truth of this is that the likely minimum absence is a few days to a few weeks - and a few weeks basically means he's done through the deadline. Injuries suck, but they suck particularly hard this year because missing four weeks means missing something like 16 games, and not 9-10

Just looking at that for the first time I think it's his right hamstring he tore.

Actually, I agree with that. Better than a groin, but not by much.

Are they ever going to say anything more than "lower-body injury"? lol

Yeah I know...Gimme a break with that shit!! Trouba has a broken thumb, and it's an "upper body injury"...:doh:

That breeze is the slight exhale.

I didn't want to write this earlier, but I get the impression that Igor is a bit of a drama-queen if you will. I'm hoping that's the case with this because it certainly didn't look good from his initial reaction.
