Had to be helped off the ice and limped to the dressing room.

I doubt it. Probably higher. Guessing calf.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Un*******believable.

 

[ShootIt]

Well, preseason this year has sucked big time.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Looked bad

 

[pb1300]

I think that is extremely premature, the potential Achilles cut. If it is a cut, it seems it was higher than the Achilles.

If you have chickens, now is the time to sacrifice them.

 

[Boruto]

Oof, you guys are getting reamed this week. Tuck Barkov in a bomb shelter until the storm passes and the season starts. That looks fairly high and I doubt he puts weight on what was obviously a laceration so not necessary as bad as "had to be helped off the ice" looks I hope.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

God that sucks. Do these guys not have those Kevlar socks?

 

[Benched]

Well this is just ****ing great. Two of our best offensive weapons out to start year. Huby possibly long term

 

[PanthersHockey1]

We will have to deal with it. last year we didn't make an excuse as to why we won the Division when Montreal died.

Marchesault proved tonight he can at least skate alongside with barkov

No words.

Just frustration.

 

[FrolikFan67]

the "beginning of the season" curse...

sounds like we should at least expect 4-8 weeks.

 

[Felidae]

So presuming he's absent for the first few games, who will be with Barkov and Jagr?

 

[Vilam]

Ugh. Sour start to the year.

There's no curse, just stupidity. Hubs was willing to roll the dice by not wearing kevlar-socks and he lost.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

If it's longterm, maybe we should look at Kucherov.

Hey Batting, float the idea by management lol.

Likely cheaper option, perhaps rakell? Kucherov would be sweet tho

 

[Mogo]

If it's long term even when he comes back we all know Hubs is a slow starter so if its 8 weeks we'll have to wait 12 weeks before he can put up some numbers

Here's hoping it looked worse than it was. If it was a deep cut/something broke I wouldn't think he would even been able to limp off the ice and would rolled around the ice in agony

Well they threw Marchesault out there with them and he looked pretty good so that's one option.

 

[spacemanatee]

seems like this will be a rough season

 

[Bure1096]

Huby was seen walking in a boot, saying it's an ankle injury. Gallant says it doesn't look good.

Wish we would've rolled the dice on Yak a few days ago....
