Blow for Rockford to start the season

Well...that sucks.

Life happens. He's getting paid a lot not to play.

Who?

 

[WarriorofTime]

Brutal injury and really a tough blow for his hockey career. Wish him all the best in his recovery.

I don't care how much a person is getting paid. You will never be the same going under the knife. I hope for his sake post hockey he's able to not have chronic pain the rest of his life. I know all too well from having spinal fusion.

Still an absolutely brutal injury.

Man, seems like this injury is popping up more and more in sports for some reason.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I didn't mean to come off callous but tendon injuries aren't joint back neck or brain injuries. He'll be fine.

He will make a 99.9% recovery. The 2 injuries you just paired together is like comparing a banana to a snake

Actually, for a sport that involves explosiveness through the lower extremity, an Achilles Tendon tear can be really problematic long term. Hope he is not one of those cases.

I'm referring to a post talking about having lifelong chronic pain.

Has something to do with the boots of skates being lighter and more flexible maybe, saw a clip of bauer talking about how they have tech way beyond whats in market but can’t release it without phasing it in as our bodies haven’t adapted to make the jump yet.

You both are right potentially and in reality, as obviously everything is connected but specifically when there’s a lack of stability or weakness that your nervous system detects in your ankle/foot outrightly, your body goes ahead making the decision to displace the load elsewhere to other joints in a matter of hundreds of milliseconds. Cal Dietz from University of Minnesota has a soapbox he will sing to you about it(and several spring ankle exercises you can find on YT), the fun fact he proposes in line with that is that all elite athletes have one thing in common which is they have the strongest feet compared to others. Says something maybe about strome and his generational skating ability etc but the more you know

Ah, missed that. Yeah that should not be an issue in a case like this. Pain isn’t usually too much of an issue, explosiveness is.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Activated off season opening IR and placed on waivers. Will be a nice addition for Rockford

 

[Mrfenn92]

Cleared
