Injury Report: Andersen

[mikeyfan]

we will have an idea on his return when the Canes send him to Chicago or somewhere else for Conditioning , I least I would think they would send him somewhere for conditioning

Everyone knows goalies don’t need conditioning they stand there right

My beer league goalie gets pissed when I point that out! Bunch of snowflakes they are.

Only goalies opposing us get this luxury

Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen returns to practice with team

Andersen has been inactive since early November while dealing with a blood clotting issue.

Skating full time with the team. I also hope he goes on conditioning to AHL first. He hasn’t played in like 3 month…and would be good to test this blood clot situation in not an NHL game.

It's a good idea in theory.

But without an affiliate, is there a local AHL medical team Andersen and Carolina trust enough for a conditioning assignment?

Charlotte's goalies suck @$$ this year and have won like 3 of their last 10 games...they sure could use some help a bit, maybe mend that relationship a bit?!?!?!?!?!?

Wishing him all the best..that's some scary stuff.

My bestie had this develop on a flight from India for work. She was in her late 30s at the time. She wasn't allowed to fly for a year and stayed on blood thinners for almost two.

I really hope I’m wrong but I just have the hardest time believing he’s going to come back from this and be an effective starter in the nhl. I’m not a doctor and I really hope I’m wrong

"effective starter in the nhl.;

I view this differently than an orthopedic injury.

Presuming the condition has been completely solved and he no longer has blood clots and is off thinners, then we get a rested Freddie back in time for the playoffs. It's very encouraging that the Doctors are letting him practice.

btw: there is no reason to think that his hand/eye capability has been impacted either.

I have no knowledge of this condition. Does anyone have any insight into how this does affect playing? My interest is really that do you think this condition is maybe what has caused Andersen to be really cautious or not "100%" for much of his career?

I think this is something that would have been caught previously in his career if it had come up, either in symptoms or in preseason physical screening.

In that video Chip posted, he says he only learned about it a few days before the announcement. It was very clearly something new the docs found, and told him that he needed to shut down hockey and go for immediate treatment.

Yes. And they'd be checking most players for any unusual bruising or swelling as well as bloodwork as part of standard clearance to play by the medical staff.

Clotting issues are not something any athletic medical staff is going to overlook checking. And when you combine that with cut risks in hockey, they are going to be more vigilant about checking for any of those issues, either over clotting or lack of clotting.

The fact Andersen had pain, they found it, and they shut him down makes me think it's a recent medical development for Andersen. I doubt he had this last year or even before training camp this year.

Also, the fact he's been allowed off blood thinners and back on the ice leads me to believe it was an acute issue. If Andersen had a chronic blood clotting issue I doubt they would allow him back on the ice, and certainly not this season.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Cautiously optimistic but I don’t think this is something that will physically affect his play at all once cleared to fully return. Mentally possibly but not physically. It’s not like he had hip surgery

 

[Another Empty Netter]

Get well soon Freddie, Carolina crease starting to look better and better these days

Tripp was saying on the broadcast the other night that Freddie was looking sharp in practice.

According to Waddell Andersen might play next week.

I’m curious how the goalie share will be at that point?

Maybe Andersen and Kochetkov splitting?

I think they keep Martin around in case of injuries. Waive or trade Raanta?

Most likely waive Raanta unless they find someone interested. Waiving Raanta also opens up the possibility to bring him back after the deadline, which is more valuable than whatever he would bring back in a trade.

I think you have the right idea: Andersen/Kochetkov splitting down the stretch, and the hot hand gets to start the playoffs.

My money is on

"Shoulda draft Kochetkov"

How did you know?!

And ye I did try to trade for Kochetkov in my fantasy league. Didn’t happen so I have to hope Andersen can stay healthy
