Injury Report: Jacob Middleton (upd: week-to-week LBI)

[LadyStanley]

LBI

Not looking good. Baker thinks it's similar to what he had. Rusanowsky speculated broken ankle, messed up ligaments. Speculating out for the season.

That's gonna be a torn ACL or MCL

So...who else do we have left to call up? Carrick?

also, hope Middleton makes a full recovery. He didn't deserve that.

 

[slocal]

Criminy, you're on these injuries like a vulture personal injury lawyer.

 

[Alwalys]

what a garbage play and terrible luck to fall like that.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Do your job, George.

 

[Negatively Positive]

Middleton was looking decent then he gets hurt. Bummer. Will this be Davidson's time to shine or will it be Carrick. Guessing they'll reward Carrick since Davidson's just a warm body.

 

[themelkman]

Davidson your up

 

[LadyStanley]

As of today, 7 D on active roster. Davidson will probably get into the lineup.

So, it's just a matter of finding that 7th healthy body. Meloche has been recalled. Other options are Carrick, DeSimone, Knyzhov, Roy. (Sharks sitting at 47 active NHL contracts, so Gregoire or Keaton Middleton **could** be signed to NHL deals.)

Is there a reason we haven’t tried Roy in the NHL? I remember he was one of the more promising players

His setbacks. The cuda played him at forward for a while when they didnt have enough. It seems clear they dont see him as an important part of the D core back there, so I doubt he gets a callup anytime soon

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Can hardly find a mention of the play in question around the web, let alone see it scrutinized. This will get buried since it wasn't a guy like Kane making the hit.

 

[LadyStanley]

Sunday is nominally a Sharks day off, so public announcement might not happen until Monday.

 

[weastern bias]

Brandon Davidson, come on down!

 

[tealzamboni]

He was having a nice run recently. Hopefully, he can recover and compete for a 6/7D type role.

It seems unlikely to me we even qualify him at the end of the season.

Hornqvist is an extremely dirty player

 

[slocal]

Much better than I anticipated.

Hornqvist is an extremely dirty player

Incredibly sneaky and doesn't get the attention he deserves for it. Could've won the Conn Smythe for taking out Hertl's knee.

 

[LadyStanley]

FWIW, Keaton Middleton (brother) won't be the savior (if he were signed to NHL deal) as he's on the shelf (UBI IIRC) for the Cuda.

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

Much better than I anticipated.

Considering how it looked that's some unbelievable luck. Between his injury and Hertl's, his was easily the one I would have predicted for multiple torn ligaments.

Seriously. I can't wrap my head around the physics and results.

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

Seriously. I can't wrap my head around the physics and results.

The simplest explanation I can come up with is more elastic ligaments. It's something the doctors said I was blessed with and probably saved me from more serious knee injuries multiple times.

He's a pos.
