Sharpshooter Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 He'll finally get that time in Hartford he's needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I would be shocked if they sent him down, pleasantly shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Why? For conditioning it might be the perfect time to send him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he'll need it, though. Odds are he'll just get a bunch of practices in, then step in when docs say he's good to go. I mean, what's the difference between coming in cold and coming in after playing a couple games in the A? Same goose eggs either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been calling him krappo busto for a reason. But at this point anything is worth trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valriera Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Good sign, especially bc it's a leg. If he's ready to skate again he'll be back very soon. Likely just his first practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) I figured it was an ACL injury when I saw it happen. Instantly the mind usually goes to a tear with sports, which is surgery and a year recovery, but maybe he just sprained it. There’s different timetables depending on the severity of the sprain. A grade 1 or 2 sprain takes about 6 weeks to get to full strength. He’s at 5 1/2 weeks now. Edited January 4 by BrooksBurner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely a sprain of one of the ligaments in there. If he’s practicing, albeit non-contact, and he’s been skating on his own for a while, he’s gotta be relatively close to a return.

I know it's probably not going to make him any faster, but a full recovery from the sprain is less debilitating over the long haul. I just can't wait to get him back. He was playing pretty well when he went down. I think he had a goal in that game or the game before if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdog99 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 whats the deal with the NHL being so secretive about the nature of players injuries - certainly more so than the other major sports, it seems. its kind of juvenile...'belichik' like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
