[Long live the King]

Well fuck

[Long live the King]

Big chance for DeAngelo now...

[Rangers4Life]

That sucks, hope for a speedy recovery. All the signs are pointing to selling at the deadline.

[Albatrosss]

Wow. One the bright side, they will all get back right before the playoffs and the rangers will win the cup

[Dunny]

What is the timeline on such an injury?

 

Again, really wish the guy grew up an Islander fan. I get why they signed him but he looks like he's on same diet I am, I don't see how this ends well here.

[Albatrosss]

6 months i think. But with good behavior could be 3-4 months

:tweet:@NYRangers: Shattenkirk said he's been dealing with the knee injury since late September and into October. He said he tried to play through it but felt he's "come to a point now ... [that] it's the right time to get the surgery."

You can?t do anything right shattenkirk!!

Timing makes sense if they expect to make the playoffs. Get the surgery now, be back in late March, early April. Get a few games in before the playoffs.

More Shattenkirk on injury: "I think this is the first step to get back to where I am and come back and have a meaningful impact on this team down the stretch." #NYR

[Dunny]

Ok, well, makes me feel a little better actually.

How fat is this dude gonna be after two months on an immobile knee, though.

[LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN]

September? Is this guy for real? And management knew nothing of this? C'mon. What a load of B.S.

Of course they knew. It probably wasn't so bad and they just braced it. They figured it wouldn't get worse and he could play though it. Well, not so much...

Was gonna say the same thing. Dude's gonna be Byfuglien size.

Team really has caught the injury bug. Sucks for a team that played with heart to pull out of that horrendous start.

[Giacomin]

Aren't many meniscus surgeries a 6-8 week affair, for athletes? Guessing we'll hear more, after surgery.

Where'd you get your M.D.?

Had my left done, will have my right done probably in April.Depending on how severe or small a tear, could be as little as 8 weeks.Pretty much he can start rehabbing within a few days of surgery once the swelling goes down.

He should start training with Kessel.

Or simply shut him down and protect the asset knowing this may be a lost year.

I think there's just no chance they've already decided to be sellers. I guess I could be wrong, but I really doubt it.

 

More likely is that they're going to look at it as an excuse to embrace the tank if the team struggles, or, if the team still wins some games approaching the deadline, hold assets and look at Kreider and Shatt as your deadline acquisitions.
