Injury Report: Matt Dumba (Upper-body, out significant amount of time)

[57special]

He's in Calgary with family, and will have surgery when he comes back. Sometimes they want to wait for the swelling to go down before they go in.

That’s Jordan Greenway...

I don't know how you can confuse Dumba and Greenway. They look nothing alike. Besides Greenway is lefty which is clearly seen in the picture.

i didn't even think of him. i'm a terrible Wild fan

Torn Pectoral muscle, had surgery today, out at least 3 months just anaounced

Okay, so he's pretty much out for the rest of this season. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't sound like the type of injury that should effect him in the future. So it's not all bad.

It wouldn't be so bad if this team tanked and ended up with a top 3 or 5 draft pick. Could get a really good young player and with Kaprizov coming over it could solidify the future.

 

[absolute garbage]

That's rough. Doubt he will play this season, but should be 100% for next season. Wonder if they call up Murphy or Belpedio.

Will this mean the end of the playoff streak? And some changes? Maybe they can win the lottery like Philly and Carolina did!

 

[57special]

One of Murphy or Belpedio has to come up, no? Both can play the PP, and Murphy looked ok with Brodin last year. Pateryn is not a second pairing guy, and is certainly not a PP guy.

That's where we are really going to miss Dumba. Spurgeon will have to take his place as PP shooter, but he's really best as an all round guy on the point. I'm not seeing a forward yet who has looked good on the Pp point, so it'll probably be Suter, Brodin, and a call up.

Prosser should only be played in emergencies.

I sure hope so. The forwards have definitely gotten used to being able to pass it back to defensemen that can handle the puck, and Pateryn was a notable weak point in that respect. I like him just fine on the 3rd pairing, but he doesn't cut it in the top-4.

Murphy did alright with Brodin last year, he'll be a UFA this summer and is probably hungrier than anyone for a 3 month opportunity to show what he can do in the NHL. If he stinks, call up Belpedio and we can see if he sinks or swims.

Agreed, shouldn't have long term implications. This is an injury that is most likely weight room related, not in-game related.

 

[MehMild]

Do you? Were you in the gym when he tore his peck?

No, but it's a common weight lifting injury. Not a common hockey injury.

It's not always apparent when the injury occurs in the gym either... and Dumba said he doesn't know when it happened. It's more likely this happened in his off-ice workout regimen at some point.

 

[MehMild]

So you don't know. Thx for the great insight.

What makes you so holier than thou?

I'm speculating on the likeliness on how the injury occurred on a message board. Why is that so offensive to you?

Why are you so hostile for no reason?

And what was "Do you?" in reference to? Seems like if your going to be a dick, you might try a little harder to make sense.

The two posts preceding have since been deleted by mods, so you are seeing an incomplete context.

AKL is right in his post.

Supposedly expected back next month.

Supposedly expected back next month.

It that a new development or based on initial timeline?
