We're supposed to just sit back and take the beatings. If we try to stand up for ourselves, we just get beat on worse, and get called out for being goons.
Injury Report: Dany Heatley (Shoulder) UPD: Out for the season + likely playoffs as well
- Thread starter Fel 96
- Start date
So you want your players to intentionally injure a player because he accidentally injured Heatley, and apologized for it afterwards?
He can apologize until he is blue in the face, it still doesn't take away from the fact one of our top scorers is out probably the rest of the season. He gets and 8000 dollar fine. Really? Na na na na na na noooooo. Hell no. Teams with good chemistry stand up for each other and don't tolerate this BS. I don't care if someone does get suspended, a message needs to be sent that this team won't put up with that crap or next time it could be Parise or Koivu.
You are correct. Intentional all the way. Apologies are worthless when the damage is already done.

SJ announcers just said Heatleys shoulder popped out, it is not a wrist injury but a dislocated shoulder according to them.
Depending on the degree of separation this doesn't mean season ending but it could be. I have had varying degrees of separations over the years, some worse than others.
I just watched the replays of it over and it does look like he is reacting to his shoulder as he gets up. Has anyone on the Wild said this was a wrist injury or was that assumption?

Wishing injury on other players isn't going to solve anything. Drop the gloves if you want or hit em' hard with a clean check, but injuring them back isn't going to solve anything. The best revenge is to dominate them on the scoreboard. I'm worried about Torres trying some cheap **** on our guys when we play them again though. **** Torres, he's a cheap piece of ****.

IIRC, Russo said it was his wrist at first.
Not sure now that you mentioned that. Safe to just say "upper body".
Good grief! I am not promoting injury. I am promoting a good solid azz kicking. I never said anything about maiming or dismembering.
I remember back in the Jacque Lemaire day we had a squad with a little less talent but a lot more team unity. Brent Burns was a big piece. Go to you tube and look up Brent Burns Chainsaw and you'll know what i'm talking about. Basically Burrows speared Bouchard and Butch went after Burrows. A scrum insued and Mciver went after Bouchard and Burns commenced to whippin the tar out of him. That is how these things should be handled.
If you look at the chainsaw video and watch Burrows ( the puss that he is) ready to go with Bouchard, all it took was for Simon to tug on his jersey to remind him that if he is going to start something with Bouchard he will have to deal with him.

I think he will be back sooner rather than later. He is still with the team and getting treatment according to Russo this morning which further confirms in my mind that it is shoulder related and not wrist. He may fly back to meet with the team Dr today. It is a positive sign that they didn't send him back right away to be with the medical staff.

I'd say it depends on how will be his health this summer.
Also, we have no idea if/when he'd get the surgery.
He needs to be healthy before next season, you can't buyout an injured player.
It's the reason MTL told Gomez not to report early in the year, because they didn't want him to get hurt and not be able to buy him out.
maybe he can pretend to be healthy until we can buy him out and then get the surgery 
i guess we could trade him, hes not a completely useless player, someone would pick him up for cheapo if he doesnt miss too much of next season (assuming he isnt healthy before we can buy him out)

...or we can hope that Russo is wrong and Heatley won't need surgery, just some rest and rehab....
[fingers crossed]

He wasn't even sent back to Mn to see the Orthopedics team so there is no way they have determined already he needs surgery.
Until yesterday everyone including Russo thought he had a wrist injury.
I still say we see Heatley before the season is done.

I'm no orthopedic surgeon (but I DID say at a Holiday Inn Express last night).
From what I understand, a "scope" is a fairly simple procedure. It's nothing like surgery to repair a rotator cuff or anything like that. The dislocation might have dislodged some cartlidge and they would use the scope to go an and clean out that loose cartlidge.

I have had several shoulder operations. The most recent one was last summer and i was swinging a golf club a couple of weeks afterwards. The work was performed by the orthopedic surgeon for the Mariners and it was the quickest recovery I have had from any of the work done on my shoulders.

I don't think Heater is getting bought out as much as i think he might get traded to a team looking to reach the floor with Wild eating some money. Think about it his cap his is 2 million higher then what he is going to get paid, heatly at 3.5mil or 3rmil (Wild eat 2 or 1.5) is very good for a team looking to add 5+ million to their cap.
So we get a low return gets him off the cap and lets be honest Uncle Leo may not be keen on writing a huge cheque
