I've felt this is needed for a good time now. I'm not gonna go and double check but it seems that any other season we're among the top injured teams. I'm far from a medical person, but there are different ways to prepare and treat your body. While some of the injuries would not have been avoided, some it feels might. What is the other explanaition for a team to constantly be among the top injured ones? Or perhaps we're not? Either way, this year all our important players are out.
Best case scenario, yeah, easily out to two though. He stood up using the ankle though, so I can’t imagine it’s broken.
Yah but it could also be have a hairline fracture.. Im sure they x rayed it.. If its 6 weeks or more.. Than you know there is a fracture
Adrenaline is a hell of a drug
Probably have to cut it offBoots on skates do wonders too!
Until it comes off
Had a severe ankle injury playing hockey 20+ years ago, with the ankle effectively being broken in a comminuted fracture one one side and a splintered fracture on the other as well as all ligaments sans the achilles being torn. Believe me, I tried to get up, but it was impossible. And yes, the actual pain floods through your body like a MF once the skate is cut off.
Broken bones would be way better than an ankle sprain. Broken bones are easy peasy.
Even under the most pessimistic scenario I don't see any way that the Ducks finish worse than Chicago or SJ. Those two teams are truly atrocious from top to bottom.
Same here.. Ive had an ankel injury before too. Took me almost 3 weeks just to put pressure on my foot.. Its the worst.. We will know how bad it is if Z is in crunches or sent back home.. He needs an MRI done to determine if there is ligament damage
Very true. Nashville has done some retooling moves and trades but not competed to a real rebuild and tries to be competitive. Seems they'll be stuck this way and eventually Josi will force his way out while he's still in his prime. I just hope Nashville hits rock bottom when the Ducks are contenders again and don't have to face them in the playoffs, I could see a 8th seed Nashville team beating the Ducks in the 2nd round 4 to 5 years from now.
Thrun is SJ's 1D and I hope him well that playing big minutes in the Shark Tank doesn't burn him out, everyone else they got on D looks horrible and belongs in AHL/ECHL. Yeah he burned the Ducks but karma returned in the form of Gauthier.
