GDT: 5/13/16 - 8:00PM EDT - #2 Tampa Bay @ #2 Pittsburgh [ECF GAME 1]

Now we need a Bish is injured this is fine Avatar.

 

[avalanche45]

I don't even know... does the leg have an ACL or MCL? I'm used to baseball shoulders lol

Both. There are 4 main ligaments in the knee - the ACL and PCL (which keep the knee from going too far forward or too far back) and then an MCL and LCL (which keep the knee from going too far side to side).

I'm going to guess it was his MCL.

 

[The Macho King]

Guys, I think MVP goes to Callahan this game, that was a clutch hit in the first and really turned the tide of the game towards Tampa. Without that hit and his PK I don't know where we'd be, didn't get on the score sheet but he played the best 2 way game on the entire team.

I'm ****ing furious with Coop, only 14mins tonight for Cally, most of it with no talent players like Baguette.

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

From my limited "at best" medical knowledge watching sports NEG x-rays mean little when it comes to what we are really worried about (ACL)..


Anyone with better info than I?

Yeah that is right. A tear of the ACL or one of the lateral ligaments would most likely be seen on an MRI but not an X-ray.

my last hospital visit went to do a mri but went to a smaller machine not called mri but its a fourth of the size of any mri ive ever seen does same tests etc..

pitt might have one in their stadium? it would not surprise me

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Koekkoek looked ****ing good though. Excited for this kid.

Same. It's been awesome watching him handle all that comes with playoff hockey and still look so poised. He's welcomed the challenge and has really fit right in seamlessly. His future's very bright.

 

[wxkid23]

I'm shocked the money these teams make every team doesn't have an MRI in house

 

[LightningStrikes]

Hope Bish is fine. Huge win though!

Thank you for the info

Probably a CT scan. I dont think Pittsburgh would have one in house but even if they did a lot of times they are going to wait for the swelling to go down before scanning him.

 

[CupsOverCash]

No Bish, no Stamkos, no Stralman, no Johnson for half the game. This is fine.

I very much doubt they'd have machines like that at the stadium. They're expensive as ****. I've had MRI done twice in about a year because of my back problems and the lines for it have been ridiculous. No one wants to pay for it on the private sector because it's so expensive, partly because the machine is so expensive in its self.

Fun fact: There are more MRI machines in the city of Pittsburgh than all of Canada combined.

 

[Stammertime91]

I feel like all of this right now...

 

[wxkid23]

Quick google search shows around a million for a quality machine. That's peanuts with the revenue we provide

just so you know first mri was 1996 was two machines in state of michigan

last year spring hill florida 37 places not counting hospitals had mri machine

no bull 37 places in spring hill lol

mri's are everywhere now at least to me had to go to university of michigan when broke my neck in 96 lol

ya i know about the swelling i figure he had some tests hopefully is fine i thought how he fell was mcl knee like avalanche guy did

I guess those are more common in America then

 

[wxkid23]

Losing Bish IS our biggest piece but It's not like Andrei isn't battled tested. This is a kid who battled the KHL as a teen. None of the other netminders left on any team are game stopping. The picture keeps getting more ugly but this team can still win it all. It's unreal to say this. Tell me we have No Bishop, Stralman, Stamkos, (insert name half of every game) .... I would say your insane. These playoffs are insane and this team can bring the cup. I hope the guys realize this. STL/SJ are waiting on the other side.... that sends chills into nobody

 

[Kramerica Industries]

I've only turned on the Lightning Live postgame a couple times this postseason...is Engblom involved at all in any of them? Would be a bit disappointed to find out that he isn't...

 

[pucyelnats]

A fantastic start. The team is rock solid even missing some key players. Bishop going down is worse than not having Stralman or Stamkos, but Vasy looks fine and if Bishop doesn't have anything torn or broken as Cooper posted, then hope to have him back ASAP.

I heard nothing about an MRI. I heard Xray. Means nothing fwiw

Not that it means nothing, but it doesn't mean a lot

 

[The Macho King]

Cally's hit certainly wasn't clean. It's an open question of whether it's a suspension or not, though.

I guess we'll see. I wouldn't be shocked to see no suspension, and I wouldn't be shocked to see him get a game. With Brown back his loss will hurt a little less, at least.

 

[Werewolf]

Bradenton is giving away Penguins promotional items. Rally Towels for all Pitt fans that show up the third game at Amalie Arena. #BoycottBradenton is currently trending on tweeter. Never again will Bradenton get a penny from my pocketbook. **** Bradenton.

He had all the tests done otherwise cooper would have said he was unsure on bishop or done for the season. So now it's not season ending and we won't know what is wrong with bishop till after the season! Like the torn groin last year.
