Injury Report: Kreider fully cleared to play

[UAGoalieGuy]

That's some scary stuff. Glad he's healthy but really no point in rushing back.

 

[Levitate]

they're not going to rush him back, if he's back it's because he's healthy, don't be concerned

 

[Captain Lindy]

This is nuts...

Thank God there was a game that day or he might not have been sent for medical attention. Scary!

This is too true

Great news

 

[Gravey22]

Great News!!! We do not see him for another week or so, I hope. Get him full speed %100 before hitting the ice for a game.

If the health concern wasn't directly due to a clotting problem (which seems to be the case from all i'm reading) then that issue shouldn't be an factor anymore. Seems like the surgery corrected that.
None of us are experts in this i'm guess so when he comes back is still anyone's guess.

As far as the stuff with the blood clots go you're right, I'm just guesstimating based off of what I've seen with other guys who have gone through this.

However, he did just have a rib removed. There is going to be rehab that is required to rebuild/strengthen the muscles around that area. That is going to require time (as well as getting back in game shape, though these things can be done simultaneously.)

He'll come back when hes ready to come back, but I'd caution against expecting him back soon. We're likely looking at a return date around a month from now.

Simple rule of thumb. If you cough up blood, definitely tell somebody.

What if it's because you have a scab in your throat and you just can't stop picking it? Asking for a friend.

We wil end up in the playoffs with Kreider and Buch return and with our AHL defense, which is better than our NHL defense anyway.

YES!! Cough up blood, GO TO HOSPITAL ASAP!

Wonder who AV will take out of the lineup when Chris is back. DD, Holland, McCloud and Lettieri. Centers would probably stay. Then it becomes pretty obvious.

We're going to be short a few forwards via trade by the time he comes back so there will be a spot for him with out having to remove anyone.

Grabner and DD - you're right.

I'm hoping that it's only one of Nash or Zuke, and if so, that one warm body is coming back to insert into the line up.

It should be both of them. There are fringe players down in Hartford who can be called on to fill in if need be. I could see them taking a body back just to have some experience.

Remember Carey is also skating with the team as an extra.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

2 weeks best case scenario, more likely longer than that.

Buch . . . oh wait.

 

[will1066]

Buch . . . oh wait.

DD never goes out of the lineup. It's like he has diplomatic immunity.

 

[Inferno]

Should be mcuseless...will likely be letierri

This is nuts...

Then in the fall, I started to have some trouble breathing. I’d be out of breath sometimes when I never had before. I’d come to the bench tired after shifts, even some shorter ones, I was having a harder time recovering, and I really couldn’t figure it out. For two or three weeks there, I was coughing up blood at times, but I never said anything. I mean, you never really feel that good during the season, so I thought that it was just part of it.

And then when we came back after the [Christmas] break, I woke up the morning of the Washington game and my right arm was numb,” said the 26-year-old workout machine. “I figured maybe I’d slept on it the wrong way. But then after the first period my arm had swollen to basically twice its size and the docs took a look at it and could see that the circulation had been completely cut off and got me to the hospital immediately.

No exaggeration, most people (as in >50%) who ignored those symptoms would have died as a result of this embolism

Nash has to be moved. You have to get something for him.
