Injury Report: 2023 - 2024 Injury Thread HF's New longest ever thread

[Mighty Makar]

I absolutely hate this f***en team.

Glad Nuke isn't "sick." Would explain the dip in his ability to battle and play at full speed recently too.

Sounds like another Avalanche groin injury they're trying to prevent from getting worse.

 

[sethro109]

Why did I have to be right? I'm wrong 90% of the time, but this!? This is what I'm right about? I also really f***ing hate that wording. "they don’t think it’s long-term." In other words, there's a chance it's long term.

 

[Balthazar]

Glad Nuke isn't "sick."

Indeed.

Crazy that a LBI for a guy that recently had severe broken foot complications is actually good news.

If Kovalenko hasn't skated yet, he could be a ways away.

He's probably lost some conditioning, so he'll have to rehab his injury, get back in shape, probably pass Bednar's skating test he likes to give guys before they play, and then adjust to the Avs system, and what's likely a faster pace than he's used to, and then prove himself to Bednar on top of all that.

All with just 10 games and about a month left in the regular season.

Might put his chances at earning a spot in the playoffs this year in doubt.

Thank god for the phenomenal trade deadline acquisitions because with the news of LOC, Landy and now Kovalenko essentially out for playoffs, things would really look dire. It was always a far shot for the latter two, but people were definitely penciling them in all season.

[Tralfamadore]

Sooooo Nuke is there or no?

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

I wonder if Georgiev has the crud now. Kivi is still out with it, G had it but looks like he'll play.

George was in uniform on Tuesday, and at practice yesterday, so unless he tweaked something in practice yesterday, I'm guessing he's sick now.

Wait what did I miss? When did they say Landeskog and Kovalenko were out for the playoffs?

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Kovalenko is on track for the final 4-5 games from what I’ve heard. Ya’ll need to chill.

Auto loss

Should also be noted that Jack Johnson is clearly battling through something. He missed time earlier, but he just hasn't looked right for a while now. Can't remember the last time he actually bodied someone up, and Bednar is doing a lot to try and limit his minutes.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Nuke with the "day-to-day" kiss of death. Rest easy, sweet Russian prince. See you next year

Old age

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Old age

Yeah, JMFJ has lasted a lot longer than I ever expected him to when we first got him but I think father time is catching up with the stud. He's still a good depth guy to have so I'm sort of hoping he'll get some nights off before the playoffs start and be a little fresher/harder to play against.

 

[SaltySkywalker]

Oh, idk. Seemed like the writing was on the wall for both of them even though neither have been officially ruled out. Just my own sense of what’s happening I guess. Sorry for any misleading

Question, real talk. Where does JMFJ come from? Are his middle initials MF? I hope it stands for “mother f***in’”

Yeah, it's Jack Mother f***ing Johnson. Because he's that damn good. God lord how I wanted him on the Avs with EJ back around 2010. I'm still glad we at least got to see the Johnson & Johnson pairing again in old age. The one Olympics just wasn't enough for me.

You're only now asking this question?

FTR his full legal name is Jack Joseph Louis Johnson III. Not to be confused with Jack Hody Johnson, the musician who at one time was on every festival tour in the country.

JJ the musician has some really solid albums if you enjoy low key, laid back beach type music. The entire In Between Dreams album is great.

Meh...his stuff ain't my thing. But I did enjoy the Andy Samberg/Bill Hader SNL skit where they played Jack Johnson and Dave Matthews.

Yes.
