Injury Report: Kevin Shattenkirk Meniscus Tear. Out indefinitely.

[will1066]

HSS is busy with Rangers these days. Kreider was/is also there.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Gorton definitely should be open for business. We need to get our hands on at least one extra first round pick.

The silver lining from all these injuries is we're (AV, namely) forced to play a simpler game. I'd rather watch structured hockey by plugs than high fallutin' razzle dazzle pond hockey by the big brand names.

I wonder who they would use instead - if not for the Stepan trade earlier this summer.

 

[LieutenantLackluster]

Does AVs style of play cause more injuries or something? Ive never seen the Rangers have so much trouble staying healthy.

No man, hockey is a dangerous sport and injuries are part of the game.

I always figured since the Stepan trade happened before Shattenkirk came to NYR with a discount offer that ADA was planned to be the PP1 guy from the get go.

Holy S***, if this team wasn't selling before they better now

If we make McD and Zucc available, we should be able to get more than 1.

 

[Fitzy]

Well, that explains a lot if true. He's been so poor the second quarter of the season.

 

[mrmovies779]

Already done.

i'm still working on my 1st cup of coffee-cut me some slack

 

[EpicDing]

Yeah torn meniscus can be a pain. It can cause your knee to "lock up" at times and severely limit your range of movement til you can "unlock" it. Would explain a lot.

The amount of injuries this season is getting bizarre

 

[Lays]

How long is he out? Tweets won't load. We should call up ADA and play him with McD instead of Holden. Let's ADA show his game offensively while McD defends


Edit- ADA got called up

 

[LeetchisGod]

That is the direction that I would go but I don't see it happening. Nash, Holden and Grabs will probably be on the table though.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Being a Rangers fan is so draining sometimes.

Not really, we have just been luckier than other teams most years.

 

[member 116805]

So we've played an injured player all season? Lol, how stupid

Shattenkirk will likely be out until after the TDL. ADA already called up.

 

[mrmovies779]

only fear of selling i have at this point is-other teams now see how thin we are up front and on the back end,and will try to lowball us knowing we need desperate help now.I trust Gorton not to make a panic trade though.

 

[nevesis]

 

[JimmyG89]

It makes a ton of sense why he has looked slow in a lot of games. He needs to be healthy. This should allow us to evaluate DeAngelo and possibly Pionk. Sell off Holden and we could see both.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Played on it all season. Jeez.
