Injury Report: Frederik Andersen UPD - Practiced Monday

[Daisy Jane]

this is better than watching General Hospital.

 

[Warden of the North]

Anybody know if Sparks has been called up?

Yes.

 

[Kazparov]

A lot of people who get hit in the jaw get concussed that way.

^ This ^

The "button" for knock outs in boxing or MMA is right on the jaw.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Did you just...???......

I'm just stating a fact - we've ran good this season re. injuries, nothing more, nothing less.

 

[saltming]

But since sparks is called up will he make sure, by any means, that andersen won't play? Will babcock admit to the world that zach is indeed his love child? Will William shave his flow?
Tune in for answers to these questions and more as MLSE Turns!

Everything is

 

[Bluelines]

The fact that he was practicing has to be a pretty good sign though right?

He wouldn't even be on the ice if he had a concussion.

One of the protocols he has to go through is a stress test, he has to exert himself heavily and then go in and do his baselines again. Him not being in full practice tells me he has not passed all the standard tests...yet. We will find out later today if he has passed all the standard protocols.

Young and the restless in here.

 

[DarkKnight]

Well he did go out there early and then stay for a good chunk of practice. So if he could be out there all that time then hopefully it means he can go tomorrow.

Otherwise yeah it goes to the backup to grind out a game.

Good point, he was out before practice as well.

 

[FearTheBeard]

Yeah, the schedule is fairly easy going for the next 3-4 games. As long as he's back for Saturday they will be fine.

They can win a game or two without Andersen. Just have to minimize the risks taken...the Leafs don't lose many games in regulation. We will definitely get points.

The game in Nashville will be a very tough game, the other 3 shouldn't be too bad.

Anybody know if Sparks has been called up?

Yes, he and Kapanen have both been called up this morning

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

I think the real question everyone should be asking is...has Dave Feschuk gotten in touch with Frederik Andersen's mother yet?

 

[WTFMAN99]

I'm definitely invested in knowing his status.

McElhinney to start tomorrow per twitter

If andersen is the backup all is well.

No no no

 

[ACC1224]

Don't see the point of that. Let Sparks sit on the stool, Andersen can watch from upstairs.

God dammit. Well, that explains the Kapanen call up, going to need to outscore our goalie issues....

the fact that Andersen was on the ice today tells me he isn't out for long I almost expect him to go on Thursday

 

[ACC1224]

how long ago was it there were threads begging for Andersen to sit so the backup could start? That didn't last long.

 

[al secord]

I hate twitter.

 

[mcleex]

It's good news to hear that he was practicing tho right?

If he's OK to go, then he needs to start against FLA. We need wins against FLA/Det/Buff and hopefully Tampa, i don't want to HAVE to beat Cbus/Pitt/Caps.
