Injury Report: 2017/18 Puck off the Foot Report (Upshall out indefinitely)

[BangarangxRufio]

Yeah, but id feel a lot better at the 12 month point. The surgeon who did my daughter and hes know to be the best in the business and who probably did Fabbri’s told us that 10 months is the key date. He said the stats go way down if you make it to 10 months. Now this is girls soccer, so im not sure if the stats are revelant to pro hockey, but I think soccer is WAY more dangerous than hockey. Ice is more forgiving than the ground.

Today i learned Ice is softer than soil and grass...
Im really just messing with you I have no clue which has more relation to knee injuries, just the first thought that came to my head after reading the post. I dislocated my Patella playing wiffle ball (true story) so I think I would know the most dangerous sport for knees.

We can theorize and torture ourselves all we want but what's done is done. All we can hope for now is that Fabbri can recover and stay healthy.

I had no idea that we had so many knee surgeons posting on this forum.

Its not that its soft or hard, its how the knee plants and turns. You dont have that with ice and ice skates like you do on grass/turf with football and soccer. That’s why ACL’s aren’t common in the NHL. Soccer and football, its actually the non contact tears that are so common.

oh i understand, i was just being facetious. I didn't play hockey after 7th grade, but i played lacrosse through high school and have seen them occur from non contact plays.

^^ Can we convert him, Ed, or Dunn to RW? Parayko could play RW but none of our LHD can effectively play the right side.

Thanksgiving joke of course.

How quickly will we see the famed Bouwmeester slap pass? I'm going with 9 minutes into the first period.

I'll take the under on that.

 

[Note Worthy]

So are they going to slide Bouwmeester next to Pietrangelo or leave Eddy there?

I hope they stick Bouw with Parayko but I wouldn't be surprised if they bump Eddy down.

This feels like if came out of nowhere.

I know Bouwmeester coming back is a net positive, but our defense has been playing so well as a group that this almost feels like it's just going to complicate things.

While this is true, it's honestly pretty easy to narrow out Gunnarson as a negative and sore spot in that group. It always feels wrong to change something that's been working but Bouwmeester is a huge upgrade of Gunnarson.

Haha... i’ll take schenn putting it in the back of the net

HA. I just thought about that. What if Bouwmeesters slap pass was waiting for the right recipient. like finding the connecting puzzle piece. now every time it goes, Schenn is there to 1x it for a goal.

Did I hear right that Berglund is back and playing in the next game?

I believe they will decide after the morning skate

 

[Blanick]

I believe they will decide after the morning skate

Yep it sounds like he is very close but they want to see how he feels tomorrow after the morning skate. Yeo stated that he looks ready to him.

I know a lot of people like to bag on Berglund, but I think his coming back will be a HUGE help to this team.

He's a great depth player that can play any role we need him to and pretty well. He's never turned into the guy we thought he would, and I think people hold that against him, but he's a great guy to have on your team.

 

[Spektre]

The Blues are in 1st place in the West. They have 3 players in the top 10 in scoring. They're 20th on the PP and 25th on the PK. I'd think he should be able to help out on the PK but how else is Berglund going to be a "HUGE" help?

 

[Stealth JD]

so the only injuries are to Sanford and Fabbri.

That's actually not horrible all things considered...quantity-wise.

Net Front presence on PP.
Wins tons of board battles.
Great possession guy for 3rd line.
Scored 20 goals last year // Much needed depth scoring.
and as you said
Solid PKer.

Simply put he a better player than anyone in our bottom 6, who will be joining our top 6. He improves the depth of our team.

Great to have Bergy back!

Time for the Bergy celebratory dance.

Because even though the Blues record is fantastic, he addresses one of their most glaring weaknesses, which is their super weak third line.
