Connor Brown hurt vs Dallas - possible groin said Stauffer post game.

That is a shitty injury for a guy coming off ACL surgery. Bad enough he's trying to get back to speed with a knee issue, but now add groin that is such a hit and miss injury to recover from.

Call up lavoie now and let him take browns spot permanently

Also send down Broberg, cap or not.

Groin injuries can be really bad. I have a feeling he'll be out long term. Really unfortunate, because he seemed like he was finally starting to get up to speed. Now, it will be start from square one, whenever that is.

Day to day is more like week to week with the Oilers so expect to be back in late November taking till late Dec to hit his stride.

 

[Stoneman89]

This sounds terrible, but in the back of my mind, I thought maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing for Brown to go on LTIR. One game short of the 10 game threshold where we get stuck paying him 4 million next year, and Ken Holland gets an extremely fortunate get out of jail free card to dismiss one of his blunders.

Great, our best player not available. Hopefully Leon and Connor can somehow carry the team until he gets back.

Edit: Wish I wasn't even joking about this.

So unfortunate and he was starting to play well too.

I like Holloway a lot, but he does have an injury history, and from what I've seen, tends to play a little reckless. Sometimes like a chicken with the head cut off. It's great to see the energy and enthusiasm, but I think he needs to dial some of it back a bit and play a smarter more controlled game, both to find success and also for his general health.

Can't catch a break. He was starting to look a lot more engaged

I loved his play from the last 2 games. Strong on the puck, a real PITA to play against, etc. He will be missed.

So who comes in? I think brown is ready for next game so gags probably moves down there

Brown should stay down in the AHL with Campbell for the rest of the year, if I had my way.

Hopefully awhile is "2-3 weeks" and not "2-3 months."

Sucks for Holloway. Was starting to trend up.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

poor Holloway, guy needs to tone down his recklessness

far too injury prone

 

[mkatcherin00]

Didn't he just lose an edge? How is that reckless?

Too bad. He probably won't be back until Feb/March

He did lose an edge but he's seemingly always going a million miles an hour and something bad is eventually going to happen. He really does spend a lot of time falling down.

Translation : I'm nearly ready to come back and make sure my bank account is filled next year.
