Injury Report: End of season injury report

[Lebanezer]

Fascinating that Deboer didn't mention Haley. Haley certainly exceeded my expectations.

He lost a critical fight to Lucic. Ever since that game Deboer banished him from the team. He was the chosen one!

That's good news. Still anything done on the ACL means a long term recovery.

Haley certainly exceeded my expectations.

How could he not!?...

Have to agree with this. Had he beat up Lucic, I think he would have played in the playoffs. But he just got manhandled.

If you have couture on instagram he's got some photos of his mouth, that **** is horrifying.

For the curious, it's actually not as bad as I had thought.

Forewarning for anybody hesitant; it looks like a shot from the dentist chair with his mouth pried open and showing his missing teeth + some residual blood.

 

[hohosaregood]

His teeth look like they're barely staying in the holes.

Lol it wouldn't have made a difference.

Lucic is a half foot taller and has significant weight on Haley. Micheal did a great job to just hold Lucic off.

If he tore it and played 2 games in the Stanley cup finals I would call it courageous. Trying to play the entirety of the playoffs is foolish.

But if he sat out this series because "it's not the finals" he would've been crucified for being a soft, weak-willed chocker who doesn't have the hardcore, Toewsian-level intangibles necessary to win the cup. Just like he's always shown...

It was medically and rationally stupid to play on a wrecked knee, but in terms of hockey machismo and defying the dumb "soft gutless loser" cliche he's been saddled with he's pretty much done the only thing short of a cup that will help cast off that misconception.

Pavelski, on the other hand, has to be close to earning that label. He's had several years where he's player awful and looked like he's hurt, or we go "he's so uncharacteristically bad that he must be hurt and then we don't see his name pop up in these injury post-mortems.

Thornton after game 4 or 5 when asked how he feels physically. " I feel great"

Translation: "I'm high as ****ing balls on painkillers right now. I'm practically orbiting Jupiter."

Every List is not complete. Jumbo always says he's fine and often hasn't been and the team also does not say anything.

The players need to start a "victims of Brent burns/friendly fire" support group

Marleau tipped that shot from Burns...

Marleaus way of trying to stay in the top 6.

 

[drunksage]

Just saw the Thornton news... damn, I hope nobody calls him a gutless choker anymore.

C'mon, man. Marleau is the gutless choker. Thornton is the tin man choker.

Came to this board to find out why Donskoi seemed like he fell off a cliff after last season. Wasn't disappointed. (Well, the shoulder thing sucks of course, but it is somehow relieving that there was a reason other than "he just sucks".)

Hopefully it's the main reason why he sucked and hopefully he can recover from it completely.

Well, Deboer said a lot yesterday and actually said no when a reporter specifically asked about Pavelski. I mean, he didn't have to say anything about Marleau's thumb or Hertl's foot since there were no real signs unlike Thornton and Couture, but he did. So based on what we know right now...
Everyone on the team definitely has bumps and bruises like they do every year, but that never stopped us from calling out Marleau when he played worse than those who had major injuries.

Oh give it a ****ing rest with the incessant Pavelski apologia.

Pavelski was centimeters from tying game 6, which would have put him at almost a ppg for the series.

Among other injured players for San Jose were forward Patrick Marleau (broken left thumb), forward Tomas Hertl (broken foot), and forward Joonas Donskoi (separated shoulder).

 

[FunkyPhin]

I love pavs he was/is one of my favourite players on the sharks, but he has been pretty dreadful since the finals of last year to now, including the world cup.

His skating is horrendous, his shot is non-exsistent, I've seen him pass up multiple shooting opportunities to try for these insane uneccasary passes. His entire game plan looks like it's either try for a tip or hope for a garbage goal.

I'm amazed he put up the points he did this season, but you can't keep him, it is quite clear that he is headed into a decline, and his value is probably at its peak right now, trade him and get some nice young core pieces back.

 

[DrFeelgood]

According to Sharks twitter, they expect Jumbo to be ready for the start of the season. I think that's being optimistic
