Injury Report: 2014-2015 Injury Thread

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Figured it's time to get this going, as the Avs already have a handful of injuries.

Updated 10/1:

F Patrick Bordeleau - Back surgery, out 3 months, likely returning sometime in December

C John Mitchell - Migraines, apparently not related to his concussion. Skating again, could be ready for opener.

F Jamie McGinn - on track for opener

F Tomas Vincour and Ben Street - Out 4-6 weeks

Sounds like McGinn is some ways out:

Jamie McGinn (back) update: doesn't even have a stall in locker room. Update later after I talk to Patrick Roy

Add to McGinn update, he has not been seen skating thus far and his now vacant locker stall belonged to Paul Carey, reassigned

EDIT: or maybe Roy cut Carey so that McGinn could get his locker back.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

If McGinn is out for any sort of time to start the year, I'd say Everberg is a good bet to replace him, given what we've seen. He's spent a lot of time with the Avs skilled guys, and spent TC with Briere and Talbot. Without McGinn and Bordeleau (even if he wouldn't have been in the lineup), the Avs lose some size and physicality and Everberg brings some of that back.

Patrick Roy says #Avs taking 28 players on Montreal/Quebec City trip. Landeskog (back) and Briere (son injured in Philly) should be there

What's with all the back-injuries this season.
It's like the knee last season.

We covered a lot with Patrick Roy today. He also said Jamie McGinn (back) is weeks away, not yet skakting, and the team will not rush. #Avs

 

[foppagirl21]

Yikes, not digging the back injuries, but I'm glad no one is rushing them back (no pun intended).

 

[henchman21]

Well... I bet that gives Carey, Hishon, and Everberg more incentive.

Carey already got demoted, no?

I must have glossed over him getting cut.

His back gave out from carrying all that fat around?

 

[The Kingslayer]

To soft to be an NHL regular. Carey should be in the A

And people were worried that Avs would have too many forwards and no room for some.

The season hasn't began yet and there are already injuries. I'm pretty sure less than half way through the season Avs will be short of forwards.

Weren't back injuries a problem last year too at one point? I remember Roy joking about how it must be the beds on a road trip.

 

[freeboy]

Yep
Well who stays if we need another guy? Rendolickie?

 

[sebavalanche]

I'm pretty sure Roy said McGinn & Mitchell will be healthy by the start of the season opener.

 

[freeboy]

fantasy... If Mitch has not been cleared to skate he wont play.. migraines are super debilitating..... may never play if they cannot control them. Im not saying he wont play, just if you have one or two fine, but if he is having cycling migraines there is no way he could play until they stop.
Hopefully McG will be available, but he was listed as weeks last I saw...
again I hope all this is hot air...

 

[Balthazar]

I'm pretty sure Roy said McGinn & Mitchell will be healthy by the start of the season opener.

He said Mitchell would, but not McGinn.

 

[Ivan13]

McGinn has chronic back issues.

 

[Nzap]

He said Mitchell would, but not McGinn.

He said McGinn should be ready for the season opener.

 

[Frenchy]

He said Mitchell would, but not McGinn.

He said McGinn should be ready for the season opener.

So will he be ready or not ?

 

[Bubba Thudd]

So will he be ready or not ?

That's the 64 dollar question, isn't it?

 

[tigervixxxen]

I'm a bit skeptical but Roy said in his latest presser McGinn should be ready by the opener.

 

[sebavalanche]

Roy said he expects Mitchell to play in pre season and that he believes McGinn will be ready for the season opener.

 

[Former Ladder]

Remember last year, though, that Roy usually erred on the optimistic side of timetables. I remember several occasions that he said someone would be ready only to extend their injury time.

 

[henchman21]

Roy said he expects Mitchell to play in pre season and that he believes McGinn will be ready for the season opener.

The Mitchell answer was different just now. He said they don't know, but it might be mid October before he is back in the lineup. IMO it really sounds like PCS and they simply don't know when it will go away.
