Apparently Backlund's injury happened training back in Sweden. It doesn't sound to, to serious but Hartley wants him ready so he'll sit. At least we know he's in good shape and he knows the system.
I dunno. sounded like it had already been a few weeks and now hearing a couple more?

Sounds like he was training while it was sore, because he didn't think much of it at first, but then it didn't go away and he eventually started treating it like an actual injury and rested it.

Watching the scrims today, Wolf looked surprisingly good. The Flames might actually have a useful tough guy on their hands. Ferland also looked really good.

Sounds like #Flames C Mikael Backlund’s injury (ab strain) is worse than originally thought. “I’m worried,” said head coach Bob Hartley #NHL

Taken out of context a little bit. He didn't have any update from the medical staff regarding a setback or anything. He was just worried because he'd been expecting him to be on the ice at this point, and he is really counting on him for the start of the season.

I listened to the whole interview to try to make my own judgement, and of course the part about Backs was right at the end.

I didn't see the games but I'm hearing David is a sheep in Wolf's clothing?

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I don't think it'll be as serious as some are taking, but you just never know. My guess is he will miss the first week of the season, so it won't be that bad. Better right now to miss the preseason than missing a month of the regular season.

Then again, it's just a strain and not a tear.

I wasn't trying to shoot anyone. Just wanted to make sure the facts were straight and II wasn't googling the tallest bridge to jump off.

As far as being NHL ready, though?

He's a lot closer than many of us were thinking.

:laugh:, II will be alright. He might even be able to play one of the last preseason games, since it's only a strain.

Pfffft, this isn't my first rodeo. I have had my bridge picked out since the start of the summer. Who's up or a trip to San Francisco!?
