Injury Report: 12/19 Hertl

[Tkachuk4MVP]

I can't even focus on my paper right now I'm so happy.

 

[AstroDan]

That just means Torres/Demers will take him out in todays practice...

 

[ScottyDont]

Different knee injuries I know, but anyone remember how long Torres wasn't wearing his no-contact jersey before he actually played again?

That's a good question. Different injuries but similar body parts so the no contact should come off at similar times.

Torres seemed like he was in the no contact jersey for months before changing over.

False alarm, its laundry day so their out of the non-contact jerseys.

Nope. Brought 'em out for PK work later in practice.

I guess then it's time to get hype.

From the Couture live chat today:

Q: How is Hertl looking out in practice?

Dr. Logan: He's looking great! Big smile as always. He's a kid that just loves playing the game of hockey. Hopefully he can get into the lineup soon

Different injuries, but also one guy's 20 and the other's 32. I'm optimistic of a much quicker timetable for Hertl's return.

[Gene Parmesan]

I doubt he plays in the 1st round.

 

[KirbyDots]

[Negatively Positive]

Rooster.... has to be the rooster.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Nah he will just do the Jumbo slide into Browns knee then claim it was an accident where he was at risk too

 

[dwood16]

Some people here are way too stuck on the whole Paves needs to be on the 3rd line trip. The lines need to be whatever is best chemistry wise. Chemistry is everything.

 

[Clarkington III]

If he can play against the Kings, start this:

Hertl Thornton Burns
Marleau Couture Nieto
Torres Pavelski Wingels
Desjardins Sheppard Brown

And have Brown say hi to Mr. D-bag (Dustin) BRown...

Then take the suspension and roll this:

Hertl Thornton Burns
Marleau Couture Nieto
Torres Pavelski Wingels
Desjardins Sheppard Havlat / Kennedy

If Hertl comes back and is at the point he truly is good to go, this is what I would prefer. Can always put Pavs back up on Jumbo's wing if the chemistry isn't there and push Hertl down to the 3rd or 4th line with Sheppard as 3c.

I would assume that if Hertl comes back at this stage, he's not likely to get into game shape until we're deep in the playoffs depending on the timing of it all. Hertl-Sheppard-Wingels would not be a bad 3rd or 4th line.
