Player Discussion Mark Stone | "Insanely Controversial" Edition

[TheNewEra]

I don't mind it if it's week to week, could have been a lot worse from what I gathered so that's a plus and a rested and healthy stone is a scary stone

 

[SPF6ty9]

Whoa whoa let's all slow down I have Mark Stone in all my hockey pools so he should totally come back before the playoffs.

I hope he can swim

...ya me too though As much hate as he's gotten this year, getting Bobby back would be pretty good to keep the offense afloat.

haha me too, playoffs start next week! Hoping to see him on the road trip on Sunday thats for sure.

When's the last time that "week to week" meant anything less than four weeks? Not trying to be Debbie Downer here, just realistic. Sounds to me like a significant MCL sprain, and they're just thankful that it's not a torn ACL...

Looking up recent cases (Parise and Oshie), they were about 2-3 weeks.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Not gonna lie, no Stone in our toughest stretch of games is going to hurt. Hopefully he is back for the last ten games at least.

Our toughest stretch of games was a couple of weeks ago.

Lots of 4 point games with some tough competition coming up

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Rest him till playoffs. Maybe this helps us stay in 2nd

Turris and Ryan coming back is big, Boro is day to day

We just need to play .500 hockey.

Do we know its his knee?

 

[Larionov]

We don't, no, but the fact that they sent him for an MRI would lead you in that direction.

Related, it frustrates the #$#$ out of me that NHL teams won't release injury info. NFL teams give detailed injury reports, and are in fact fined heavily if they aren't truthful on them. In the NHL, though, apparently the paying fans don't deserve to be given details on injuries. (And spare me the "gambling" rationale - people bet on hockey also.) I think that the paying customers are owed a little more information than, "lower body, week to week", but I recognize that this is not a universally held view...

Are schedule is better then Montreal.

 

[Flamingo]

I thought early reports were that he hurt his groin.

I thought I read that a week or so back as well. Could be. Could be a whole lot of things other than an MCL sprain / Knee injury

no way that mark is playing anytime soon.... look at the hobble on him in tonight's video

MCL doesn't hobble you. Pretty much wouldn't even have a limp. I've torn mine right out of the bone (avulsion fracture) and although hockey wasn't an option, walking looked fairly normal.

You can definitely limp with an MCL injury. Depending on the severity (sprain, strain or tear) it can be 1 to 6 week recovery.

Definitely looks like a knee injury to me.

 

[PaulBissonnette]

Oilers fan coming in peace. From what I've read in this thread, I can't gather enough info on whether Stone is worth holding onto with my fantasy league playoffs spanning the next 4 weeks....I'm a huge Stone fan, but should I drop him for someone that will actually be playing? Cheers!

I have had a grade 2 and grade 3 mcl sprain on my left and right knee. You dont really hoble around like stone was, they would also have a much more accurate time frame if it was an MCL injury. So I dont think its MCL but I dont know what it is either, maybe miniscus?

Lots of things can make you limp (not that kind of limp).

Hip flexor; Quad strain, Charlie Horse, Calf Strain, Groin (if its bad), Hammy, Ankle, Knee

Don't forget being a gangsta or a thug. I see Stone sporting that tuque, he's a thug, just ask Cherry.

It's probably a good idea. There's no indication when he'll be back.

If I'm you, I'm dropping him right away. It doesn't look like he'll be back anytime soon barring a visit to the healing waters of Lourdes.

Nobody has a clue. Stone is a gritty guy so it takes something serious enough to knock him out but he will push to get back - which loops back to nobody knows. Best to keep an eye on media reports.

Meh. I didn't think he was hobbling THAT bad. No walking boot or mobility restricting knee brace so high ankle and LCL/PCL grade 2 sprains are likely out.

If I had to guess I'd say hamstring injury.

He'll miss 4-5 games is my guess.

More worried about Anderson at this point.
