Injury Report: Forsling out 14 weeks after wrist surgery

[Toews2Bickell]

Might need to watch a few Turcotte highlight videos if we plan to lose a lot for him.

wash your mouth out with soap T2B....don't say that shit!

He fell at a concert.

Savage as f***.

Fortnite.

Pffttt, all you can get injury wise from playing Fortnite is some carpal tunnel. Maybe a headache from a controller thrown at your head if you are anywhere near me after I place 2nd (like what happened literally 15mins ago).

LHD vs RHD

Murphy can play both sides, and was maybe a touch better on his offside last year. So I'd imagine, provided Joker can impress enough in preseason/camp, that he'd be with Seabrook and Rutta on the right side, with Keith, Murphy, and one of Gustafsson/Manning on the left.

Not everyone can play both sides.

with the prospects in the pipeline besides Forsling he is not doing himself any favours by getting injured in the off season. Perhaps we should sell him back to Vancouver, maybe something around sending Seabrook and Forsling + for Tanev?

wishful thinking I know....

No, but Murphy could last year and we only need him to make the switch again this season to make room for Jokiharju.

Keith-Jokiharju
Murphy-Slim Seabrook
Manning-Rutta
Hillman/Gus

Any relation to Darren?

Murphy looked OK on the left last season, but the defense was awful as a whole. I would not use last season as a reference point for the capability of anyone on the defense. Lol

Playing your off side on defense is extremely difficult. Very, very few guys in the NHL do it, because of this.

Hope it doesn't effect his great wrist shot..

I was thinking the same thing. Here's a good article though.

The Athletic/Powers is saying he got his wrist injured this past season and not recently, like I had thought.

Frustrating to know that he's gone months without fixing it, but I can only imagine his doctors thought it had a chance of healing on it's own and that's why they waited a bit to do surgery.

This. It was probably one of those things where they said "Hey, let's see how it heals on its own. If it doesn't heal right, then we'll do surgery at some point."

Guesswork in a white coat.

Pretty much all medicine is guess work.

Not all, but a lot. It's not called "practicing" or an "art" without due reason.

Nice to see Forsling coming along

Seems like he's on target to beat that 14 week projection. If he's working like that already, I can't see him being out another 6+ weeks.

 

[BK]

I feel like people are sleeping on forsling for the future. Pair him with Boqvist and let’s see how they do.

Looks promising on two fronts. Both working out on ice

Nothing "top shelf" but not griping at all - two big pieces to solving the puzzle that is this 2018-19 squad. Keep it going Crow & Goose.
