Unless that’s an incomplete list, the only injury we didn’t know about until after was Helm’s abdominal tear
Cogs had broken fingers, we know that, so add him to the list as well. And wr know Landy has a bad kneeUnless that’s an incomplete list, the only injury we didn’t know about until after was Helm’s abdominal tear
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...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.
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.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....

If we would’ve lost to Tampa and that news came out I’d have been livid.
From how he played it certainly didn’t seem like it was a resolved issue.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.

They’re lucky that it didn’t bite them in the ass.Agreed, who knows what his vision quality was. Maybe they assumed 95% vision was good enough
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

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