BRUHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Just hard for me to maintain hope at this stage.

The Ducks changed the tweet

 

[ADHB]

They corrected it. It's a little better?

 

[Paul4587]

What did the original tweet say?

What did the original tweet say?

That he wouldn't travel with the team for the rest of the road trip. So while this doesn't say he will, I guess it at least leaves open the possibility, which means it's not an injury that is guaranteed to keep him out for 2+ weeks.

RC just forgot the party line on all injuries...day to day. That first tweet was probably an honest assessment.

Ah ok thanks for that. What a disaster our forward group is at the moment.

agreed. I doubt Rakell plays on the road trip. f*** this team is cursed.

 

[SaltySkywalker]

Was it really bad? What seems to be the injury?

 

[GermanRocket7]

Does anybody remember any other team having been bitten by the injury bug that much in the past twenty yers? I have a very hard time coming with a suitable example.

Tampa last year, Pittsburgh in 10-11 where Crosby and Malkin both missed the second half of the season and Staal only played a half season too, Boston this year so far has also been pretty bad but not quite on our level.

Thankfully we're only playing the best team in the West tonight

 

[KelVarnsen]

The Ducks are truly cursed. The Ducks hoping this is a one game deal really means "we will see him in a few months."

 

[Arthuros]

Oh good, we get to see Thing #1 and Thing #2 on the ice at the same time.

Really hope we see Fowler Bieksa and Beauchemin Vatanen. It’s not ideal but it’s better than the absolute train wreck that is a Beauchemin Bieksa pairing.

Either that or we play the other 4 guys 30 mins a night each haha.

 

[Frosted Tips]

His arm probably has to be amputated, but sure, it's just "one game".

It's like a metaphor for how we've been playing this entire year - trying to play hockey with one arm lopped off entirely.

You're right, Eaves' beard is pretty ridiculous

that's a top tier PP group right there.

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

Anyone see how Silf got hurt? Did it look ugly?

 

[Kalv]

Now Silf.

Ok are we sure it is not related to the conditioning coaches and/or coaching decisions? Obviously some of them like Eaves is not because of that, but... aren`t we getting injured way more the last 2 years than we had during all of the years under Boudreau?
