Injury Report: End of season injury report

[hohosaregood]

Now who else would want to sign a 38 year old man coming off of major knee surgery but the Sharks.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

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

Sooooo...day-to-day with a lower body injury that will end up being out about a month longer than they implied?

Well, I don't think they were complete tears and he has like 5 months before the start of the season (and his ACL wasn't as bad as his MCL reportedly).

I'm not too optimistic about a 38 year old coming off of major knee surgery being in game shape by the time the season starts, assuming he won't be able to do any (leg) training over the summer.

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

He's right. Keep that whine game strong though.

They probably mean "He expects" lol ...

Joe Thornton is terrible triage nurse. But he's a great hockey player!

 

[Coily]

Thornton's body is so used up at this point...

The guy is the poster child for toughness.

Yea seems like Jumbo has some crazy injury every year. A less durable person would've retired by now.

wut, he's usually remarkably healthy. last crazy injury he really had was when raffi separated his shoulder and he still dominated.

 

[rangerssharks414]

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

Dammit.

Sharks announce successful surgery for Jumbo.

Now would be the time to honorably seperate from resigning Thornton AND Marleau.

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

If the players don't say anything that's one thing, but we usually find out through the media if they actually have something going on or wrong. That's never, to my recollection, happened with Pavelski. It seems unconscionable that in multiple years of the "Pavelski must be hurt, he looks awful out there" we didn't get at least one or two "oh yeah, it turns out he had a broken hand or a knee sprain or something" in that time.

I don't even think that he should need to have an "excuse" for poor play, but.... he does kinda need something to explain his spurts of bad playoff performance. And an injury is a lot better than a shrug and presumption that he just sorta sucked.

Joel Ward wearing a sling at A's game tonight. Perhaps shoulder surgery? Don't think I read anything about him on the end of season injury reports.

Warrior.

Warrior.

From pictures looks more like elbow or forearm.

 

[Sysreq]

Apparently Melker had to get his nose repaired surgically due to some kind of break.

 

[DG93]

Warrior.

Is he a good outside shooter?

We never read or hear about all injuries, which I have tried to get through to people over and over again and know as a fact, so thanks for sharing and helping to reinforce my point.

All that means is that everyone is playing through injuries. It is the nature of the NHL playoffs. Being paid the big bucks means you come through even when injured, especially when medical technology can severely reduce an injury's impact on performance.
