Injury Report: Eric Fehr (hand)

[Mess]

Too bad

Fehr is a loss and likely after last game would have been in most of these games down the stretch.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Fehr did a lot of valuable grunt work last night. That should not be overlooked.

 

[Bluelines]

Sounds like it might be long-term:

Clearly Lou has taken his methods to a nasty level...

Lou: Yer not playing again

Eric: I'm not?

Lou: Nope , you broke your hand.

Eric: I did?

*****CRUNCH!!!!!******

Lou: Yep, ya did....bada bing bada bang

 

[WilliamNylander]

Seems like he's done for the year...brutal

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Hopefully he can come back for next year. Would love him as the 13th forward next year.

Wow, 40-45% possession for our 4th line last night...they were really hemmed in all night huh?

apparently

my eye test told me they did exactly what the 4th line is supposed to do, heavy on the forecheck, high pressure on the backcheck and earn their paycheque

That is not score adjusted, remember we were leading the whole game.

4th line also had 0% zone starts last game, they were always starting on their own end. They had a fine game.

Well thats unfortunate. He was solid yesterday and was pretty good. Prefer him over Leivo but oh well. Hopefully Leivo realizes now you cant show up to compete for 4 games and than take 4 games off. Leivo should take the opportunity and run with it whenever he plays again.

 

[Leafsman]

Were you watching the game? They were awful until the 3rd.

Did you watch the game? No one on this team was awful!

Loved the fourth line, especially in the 1st period. They set the tone, and game out of the gate swinging. That is the exact kinda play you need from a 4th line in order to defeat better opponents. Put the other team on their heels! Loved it! Columbus did come back to answer but not before it was 2-0. Great game!

 

[Bullseye]

Football players can play with a cast - what about a 4th line winger in the NHL?

Very nice debut last night.

 

[Daisy Jane]

poor thing.

 

[FlareKnight]

That certainly sucks for Fehr. Waited patiently for his chance to get in and was effective on the fourth line and PK. Hopefully for him it isn't as bad as it sounds.

Luckily we do have good players ready to step in and Sosh is probably not long term banged up, but it is unfortunate. Good for Leivo, too bad for Fehr who made an impact last night.

 

[Schenn]

Poor guy. Thought he played well last night.

 

[The Caveman]

Losing any veteran presence is tough. An extra centre as well. Leafs have had extraordinary luck with regards to injuries this year. Let's hope that we stay healthy. He brings calm and experience, and as we head towards the playoffs, that's important. He played well last night.

Man you'd think we lost JVR for the year again or something in this thread. This is who Eric Fehr is; an injury-prone 4th liner (kind of a weak one at that). He had a sub-par game which is higher than his standards, suggesting it wasn't likely to last. Subbing in Leivo for Fehr made our team better today but you can barely tell in this thread lol

nice parody.

 

[Willy Stylez]

Man feel for the guy, that's unlucky. But.. lets go Leivo!

 

[Menzinger]

Sucks to be injured but if this gets Leivo in the lineup could be a blessing in disguise

Not that I want to make this a Leivo thread but did you even watch him play?

 

[Leafidelity]

Too bad, he fit in well on the 4th line.

 

[TheBigThree]

I didn't think he was very good minus that long PK

Don't agree.

 

[Black hat blue eyes]

Wait, does this mean we can't expose him in the Vegas expansion draft?

 

[SprDaVE]

A broken hand doesn't take 3 months to heal?

Either way, I don't see why he couldn't still be exposed despite an injury.

 

[TheProspector]

Wow, 40-45% possession for our 4th line last night...they were really hemmed in all night huh?

You know that 40-45% is below replacement rate, right? That's horribad.

Leafs were REAALLLLLLY lucky last night. Not good at all.

 

[Hotlanta]

He played fine 5on5 and well on the PK, and got away with a couple borderline hits. Basically what Soshnikov brings but with less speed and more size. It is always nice to have veteran depth so it is a shame, but I guess this means Gauthier is coming back up if he hits IR.
