Injury Report: 2021/22 Injury Thread Part 3

[forsbergavs32]

Unless that’s an incomplete list, the only injury we didn’t know about until after was Helm’s abdominal tear

 

[Richard88]

Would be interesting to hear when Helm got that tear. If he was dishing out 22 hits in the first two games of the SCF with an abdominal tear that's pretty tough

 

[pont]

I definitely have new found respect for Darcey. That had to be frustrating as hell for the guy. I take back all the swears I screamed at my TV after bad goals too.

 

[hawk30]

I broke my thump once. Hurt like hell

Cogs had broken fingers, we know that, so add him to the list as well. And wr know Landy has a bad knee

 

[The Shermanator]

Yeah I'm sure that was just a quick list and lots of guys had other bumps and bruises. Maybe nothing bad enough worth mentioning.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I'm still highly skeptical about the Kuemper injury, mostly because if he truly couldn't see pucks down low, why was he starting in the finals....



But when you think about it it feels like almost every "bad goal" he allowed was a shot on the ground.

Also kinda probably forecasts that a tandem of Francouz and Annunen are not an option for next season if they were willing to play Kuemper over Francouz in that condition. Kuemper is the better goalie of the two with the higher upside but if his vision was that f***ed up I sure as hell would've not put him on the net lol. But I guess it worked out in the end so whatever...

Yup that’s where I’m at. They could be saying that to downplay his performance. And if it’s legitimately true there’s no reason he should’ve been starting with the way it clearly affected him.

If we would’ve lost to Tampa and that news came out I’d have been livid.

Bednar said he got treatment for the condition. Going to an optometrist 2/3 time a day and that he was recovered.

Sounded like mainly an issue in the St Louis series and Game 1 of the WCF but probably some lingering issues in the SCF.

From how he played it certainly didn’t seem like it was a resolved issue.

Agreed, who knows what his vision quality was. Maybe they assumed 95% vision was good enough

They’re lucky that it didn’t bite them in the ass.

 

[AvsWraith]

There's no way that Toews and Makar weren't hurt.

 

[Nihiliste]

Rants had some sort of hand injuries. He wasn’t shooting well and noticed his hands were wrapped while lifting the cup.

I’m sure most guys had something except maybe Sturm, JJ and Newhook who didn’t play a ton

Sturm got hurt in Nashville and then his play was subpar for the rest of the playoffs. I’m sure he was playing hurt

Agreed. Only injury DK had was hurt feelings and poor confidence secondary to a severe case of suckage.

Listening to the Altitude Bednar interview, he said Helm had a shoulder injury and in the same breath said someone else had an abdominal injury.

Listening to the Altitude Bednar interview, he said Helm had a shoulder injury and in the same breath said someone else had an abdominal injury.

At the 14:55 mark he says, "...we got Helm and, uh... uh... (he can't remember who it is) somebody else, with Abdominal injuries, and Helm has a shoulder injury as well. So, those guys will get checked out to see if they will need surgeries too. We'll have a few guys that are going under the knife here." Then he added, "It's almost easier to list the guys... <who aren't hurt">, but they cut him off mid-sentence and he never went back and finished that statement.

Meanwhile Cooper is painting Tampa in the most dramatic "we were SO injured" brush imaginable.

 

[The Pwnerer]

We go 16-0 with a fully healthy DK.

 

[flyfysher]

This all reads like the team was held together with masking tape and glue at the end.

 

[The Shermanator]

Holy shit!

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

So how soon does Dermy lay into Johansson in that first tilt vs. The Preds this year?

Tampa seems to want to be celebrated like they won 3 Cups in a row even though they didn't. It's kind of weird.
