Injury Report: Summer 2014: Torres suffers set back

[Linkster]

Does this mean next off-season he's going to have ACL surgery again?

Possibly? But, if it's infection-related, is that German Orthokine/Regenokine treatment Michalek used relevant? Just wondering.

Anyway, the main problem now: "Torres... said he has been training only for the past two months. Prior to that, doctors wanted him to keep his heart rate down because of treatments he was undergoing to fight the infection."

He's far from game-shape.

What's the ACL treatment that rugby players usually get.

Actually I might be making that up. So disregard unless you got info.

Believe the plan was he'd start skating first week of December.

I'm sticking to my guns: This guy is never playing again.

He is hanging with Marco Scutaro

Yah, I pretty much agree. I think we might see him in a game or two at some point to test it, then he'll retire.

Why is he not on ltir? Should he be there for cap implications ?... Though this year it doesn't really matter?

Wherever you go, there you are, alone.

Good call. Skating alone reduces the likelihood he gets suspended.

but not eliminates! hah

"Upon further review we have determined that when Raffi Torres was skating by himself he practiced throwing some hits which we have determined would have been to the head. Because he is a repeat offender, and because of the clear intent, we are suspending Torres for all the games ever."

And still his surly self.
