Injury Report: Brandon Kozun - High Ankle Sprain - Out 6 Weeks

[Seedling]

Crap. High ankle sprains are very serious injuries. I hope it's not as bad as predicted. I like this kid a lot.

 

[colchar]

Has there been any update on his injury? I don't remember hearing anything during last night's broadcast but I was on the computer with the game on TV behind me so I wasn't entirely focused on what was being said.

 

[Kamiccolo]

He needs to take his time and recover properly. He showed how useful he can be, and needs to heal right so it doesn't have an on going issue. I understand he's probably excited to get back, but we aren't winning a cup this year, and he will be a great part of our teams future on the 2nd/3rd/4th line.


I could see in the future

Leivo-Nylander-Kozun being a awesome two way line for us.

 

[Paradoc]

He's out for atleast 6 weeks per thescore.com update

 

[Leafidelity]

Put him on the IR and call up Carrick

Leivo

poor thing
made the team and everything and 5 games in, out for 6 weeks (sigh)

We should call up Leivo or Carrick, but knowing Carlyle,... come on down, Colton Orr

It certainly is a step back for him and in fact if he is replaced by another player it may mean the end of his time with the Leafs, especially since his speed has kept him in our line-up and the rehabing to get back to that level is pretty hard at this time of the year.

He'll be back in time for the Christmas season!

We don't necessarily need another player. We already have Ashton riding the pine. We don't need to call up another guy to just be a healthy scratch every night. There is no rush to call anybody up.

 

[colchar]

Damn, I really feel bad for the kid after the work he put in to make the team. Hopefully he'll make it back into the lineup even if he has to do a short conditioning stint with the Marlies.

 

[Brown Dog]

Sadly, I doubt we will ever see him again.

 

[Porn*]

sucks about Kozun but I'd call up Leivo to play with Kadri and Lupul.

 

[sync95]

Ashton probably comes in for him. He got ragdolled into the boards. Tough when you play in the NHL at that size. Has heart tho, which can't be said for any other leaf

Although most of the team is comprised of souless players, you can't say people like Komarov and Kadri(To a lesser extent Clarkson) don't revel and love the logo on their jersey. Those guys play with passion, whereas Kozun is simply trying to establish himself with good play and hardwork to get a payday down the road. Don't get me wrong, he's a workhorse, just in a different sense with different motives than the more established guys.

So he competes only because he's looking for a contract? That is a pretty messed up thing to say IMO.. Last I checked Kadri was in the last year of his deal, and yet he plays with more pride? Your post is really misguided.

I heard 6-8 weeks on 1050 this morning. Don't know if that's official but that is the length of time these things tend to take.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Leivo would be nice, but only if he's actually going to play top 6 minutes. Otherwise leave him in the AHL and use Ashton.

I've had this exact injury and know that it is a pain to deal with. He should be off crutches in a month and in a walking boot until the 6 week mark. However once that gets removed it wont take long to return.

Luckily hockey is great for people with ankle injuries and the skate boot should allow him to be back by Christmas.

 

[Schenn]

Damn. So much for the Leafs feelgood story of the early season.

 

[cannucky]

Bad deal all around , I thought he was great when he was playing with Kadri and Lupus and was really hoping Randy would slot him in there more often , gave the other 2 more jump and grit . More is always better eh !

[HellasLEAF]

Really feel for the guy.

All that work in camp and he's out.

He was a positive player for us on the ice. Hopefully Leivo can come up and fill that void.
