Injury Report: Jonas Brodin (Broken Cheekbone, Skating)

[melinko]

Crazy to think that once Suter/Koivu/Parise retire Brodin will still be in his prime.

Crazy to think that when Brodin retires Selanne will just be hitting his prime.

I said last year Brodin should be getting more pp time on the 1st unit and i'll say it again. His passing is crips, tape to tape and his vision for the ice is beyond suters. As soon as this kid grows his pair and starts taking over and not defering he'll take another step which seems crazy because he's already so damn good.

For the 1st unit get parise, pom, koivu, Brodin and Suter and see some magic.

 

[Minnesota]

I got a little scared last game when he got steamrolled. The kid still needs to put on more muscle.

Apparently the Ducks think they have the next Bacon. These types don't come around every year.

Lindholm?

 

[tomgilbertfan]

So is every young swedish defensemen that does well going to be called "This year's Brodin?"

Thursday night in Tampa though, Scotty Bowman, one person who knows Lidstrom better than most, used Brodin and Lidstrom in the same breath multiple times. Bowman, the Hockey Hall of Famer who won an NHL-record 1,244 regular-season games, 223 playoff games and nine Stanley Cups, coached Lidstrom for nine of his 20 years in Detroit.

...

“He doesn’t have a gap,” Scotty Bowman said. “He’s such a good skater, if you notice he’s always up. He doesn’t back up at all and that’s the way the good ones are. Like Lidstrom, there’s no room.”

...
“Brodin is so young and will only get better. He’s going to get stronger. Lidstrom wasn’t that strong when he first started. Lidstrom was never a big, strong guy, but he built up to be stronger.

“What I love about Brodin is he passes the puck so well. If you chart the game, most passes are on the stick, not in the feet or behind. [Suter and Brodin] is a nice tandem. Now [the Wild] just need to get another tandem. But it takes time.”

Lindholm?

yeah

 

[mezcal]

Are we talking about Jonas "Swedish Crown Jewels" Brodin?
Slump?

No sir. Diamonds are forever.

That was genius.

 

[FVM]

He'd be the #1 defenceman on the Finnish olympic team.

 

[forthewild]

Lindholm is a fine young dman, he's got 2 assits in 6 games and is a +9, i need to watch him some but he's a fantastic young dman.

I wanted him in the draft and was sad when he was gone. **** the ducks

No worries bro. If the mountain won't come to Muhammad then Muhammad must go to the mountain..

[AJ Thelen]

There has always been talking about his need to bulk up..

Well he is now 88kg.. Thats just 3 kg lighter than Suter.. He is getting there.. Very soon..

And i think it crazy to think about the fact that since he got over from Sweden he has gained 15 kg..

I'm still holding hope on luring him to apply for Finnish citizenship. Girmundur and Koivu are doing the undercover work behind the scenes as agreed by Finnish hockey federation. He's Bacon, after all. I'm sure we can tempt him with some real Christmas ham, sausage that is not sweet, and karjalanpiirakka. What do they have in Sweden anyway? Meatballs and... surströmming? *shudder*

 

[W75]

Sweden:
Surströmming
Meatballs
Jansson's Temptation
Mellanöl

Finland:
Liver casserole
Black sausage
Timo Jutila (as a mentor)
Koskenkorva

Yeah, I think we've got a chance there..

Nope. He's becoming American, if anything.

Why, you ask?

Surströmming < Liver casserole
Meatballs = Black sausage
Jansson's Temptation < Mentor Timo Jutila
Mellanöl <<< Koskenkorva

Finland wins 3-0. Yeah, we have a chance.

Nope. He's becoming American, if anything.

Why, you ask?

That stings man, that stings. That's a heavy blow.

Deleted already.

 

[rynryn]

that always happens...someone teases, then it's gone before i can roll my eyes.

we're bordering on annoying with our Brodin tire pumping lately btw...inserting him into poll discussions between two different players isn't the way to go.

 

[behemolari]

Crazy to think that when Brodin retires Selanne will just be hitting his prime.

Crazy to think been waiting Selanne to hit his prime since 80's

 

[Minnesota]

^ That's great.

 

[AJ Thelen]

Played 1:01 against Preds.. Serious injury?

Puck hard to the face. Did not return. Someone at the game said it looked like they had to pick some teeth up off the ice. Went to the hospital and was discharged. Nothing has been released.

We are praying like hell it's just something with his jaw or teeth and that he'll have to wear a full cage for a couple of weeks.
