Injury Report: 2017-18 thread: first of many

[Kalv]

We have to make some laugh out of this depressing thing. Good attempt with that gif.

Some gif skills could be used with the Naked Gun scenes - Nordberg got unfortunately beat up more than once, that part on the boat in particular.

Each major injury notification with each Nordbergs mishap

I'm not sure if this was reported or not, but Lindholm's "upper body injury" is apparently a concussion per NHL.com

Stephens said this:

But knowing Stephens he might just not have a clue.

Stephens doesn’t speculate. I would say he’s right. It also matches the rumour going around that it’s a wrist issue.

Any update on Kesler?

Any update on Kesler?

He's on the current road trip, and I think the target is around New Year's.

last I heard from my guy he is supposed to be back a little ahead of schedule which would make sense if he played some of the games on this trip.

Except that we have never been told what the schedule is. So, we're really still at, "who knows" status.

Out of his own mouth, Kesler said after chirstmas, technically, he said holidays

The original schedule that was made public was either after Christmas or the new year. can't remember.

There never was an original schedule given. But yes, recent "talk" has centered around "the holidays". So, I'd still say who knows what that means.

 

[Trojans86]

I thought bm announced when he expected Kesler to be back. that is the schedule i was referring to.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Perry not yet skating, tentatively aiming for an early January return.

 

[DaGeneral]

Kes and Perry coming back at a similar time. Finally.

[Dryish]

Groin? Please not groin.

 

[Kalv]

Here's the moment Wheeler connects with Gibson's leg:

 

[Mallard]

Someone posted the video in the John Gibson thread. Looks like a knee injury.

 

[duckaroosky]

So all we know so far is the dreaded LBI?

 

[Tyler Durden]

Any latest on Gibson? Will he miss some time? If so approx how much?

 

[duxfan1101]

 

[Duck Off]

he's practicing right now too so he's at least healthy enough to backup which is great news. I hope RC plays Miller more now though. Gibson has faded a bit the last 10 games. More rest would suit him well IMO.

 

[Mallard]

Gibson named starter tonight. I imagine he was pulled vs Winnipeg for precautionary reasons.
