Ugh, it is never even "day to day" right, it is a month +
Hopefully we can rally around the adversity and ride it out!

Injury Report: Kane out 4-6 months with torn labrum, Clitsome out indefinitely
- Thread starter allan5oh
- Start date
this is sports writer and fan fiction.
players don't go in the locker room and declare that they'll outplay another team because of injuries and them having more heart.
eventually, skill is needed. coaching, a system and "heart" only take you so far.
losing Kane, though? while he's played better point-wise as of late, i'd rather lose him than 60% of the other forwards we have. this has been his forgotten season.

Over the long term, yes.
Over a shorter span, I would disagree. In fact, look at the Wild when Parise went down last year around this time. Further to that, I could name a few runs by playoff teams where good team play and good/great goaltending has carried the day for a stretch.

With Kane now added to the list, the Jets will have lost millions of dollars of playing time from just 3 players over 3 months, from LE injuries due to blocked/errant shots. Many of these are easily preventable.
I am not familiar with the technology below, but it is clear to me that most players, especially defensemen, will be wearing protective equipment for their feet and ankles in the next few years. It will probably require negotiation with the NHLPA to make it mandatory, but something has to be done to address this.

@mnwild: Mikael Granlund has successful surgery on fractured wrist, expected to miss approx. 4 weeks. Read more: http://t.co/t6ioV3zLWK #mnwild
4 weeks is pretty quick for wrist surgery. Wasn't Bogo out 4 months in the lockout year?

...you must know that the same part of the body can have different injuries
Nope. Broken femur and a charlie horse are the same thing.
I think it is kind of funny. I try to stay positive on the whole injury situation though.

I was wondering...
With all our injuries, might there be an advantage down the road once everyone is healthy? Most guys in the NHL deal with niggling injuries that build up across the season. A long injury stretch gives all that a chance to heal up. Once everybody is back healthy, and the rust shaken off, could that put us in a better spot to deal with the rigors of post-season play?

Never thought of that. I'd expect some rust from them when they come back but they also shouldn't be very fatigued from a long season.

Anyone know the scoop on when the injured Jets are going to return? It's Jan.4, and Bogo and Enstrom were supposed to be back mid January. Are they skating on regular basis? Are they practicing? Any word on Kane? Trouba? Stuart?

I believe Maurice had said yesterday that all 4 injured defencemen skated yesterday. Bogo and Enstrom will return first, followed by Trouba and Stuart in Feb if there are no setbacks.
No real word on Kane. Probably a fractured bone in his foot.
From the Free Press:
"While Bogosian, Enstrom, Stuart and Trouba all skated before Jets practice on Friday, Maurice said Stuart and Trouba are still out until February at least and even a best-case scenario won't see Bogosian and/or Enstrom return to the lineup until the end of January at the earliest."

But there have been other quotes hinting at an earlier return. I don't think we will know until the last minute when one of them gets inserted back into the lineup. We should start a pool for which one is the 1st one back and the date. I call Enstrom, Jan 13th against the Panthers.
Believe me, I hope it's wrong. Hopefully we get word of one of them being involved in practice before too much longer.

Bizarre reporting. Maurice's actual quote was along the lines of mid to late January for Bogo and Toby and late January to early February for Trouba and Stuart.
I think a little embellishment fit the narrative of the article. I expect at least one of them back within the next couple weeks.

Maurice is notoriously full of **** when it comes to injuries. Kane was not back for a while and he played the next game. Does anyone know if any are playing full practices? It's harder to judge during homestands. If they join a road trip they are pretty close to returning.
