Injury Report: 10/19 Burns

[Lebanezer]

I bet Sheppard is scratched. I'd go

Hertl-JT-Kennedy
Hamilton-Couture-Marleau
NCAA
Brown-Desi-McCarthy

Not bad but I prefer the Team America line, or Merikuh line.

 

[FeedingFrenzy]

No Burns

maye run with

Nieto-JT-Pavs
Patty-Juicy-Hamilton
Wingles-Hertl-TK
Brown-desi-Shepp

Give Hertl a shot at centering the 3rd line, a little taste...

 

[JodyShelleysNo1Fan]

I thought it sounded weird at first when I saw that he was out because of a stick to the gums....Hockey players don't miss 2 games for hurt gums let alone 1, especially a guy like Burns.

 

[slocal]

Hmm, you think it's bone damage? Like a cracked maxilla?

I mean, he doesn't have any teeth to damage. Unless it's bleeding like LZ's friend experienced.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

He is on the top line at even strength. Thornton is on the 2nd line and Pavs is on the 3rd and both of them double shift with regularity or take some odd shifts with other wingers.

By "top line" I meant Thornton's wing. I think he'd be a good fit there (Fast, good forechecker, shoots from everywhere, etc.).

I did notice after the Ottawa game that his mouth would look strangely red. So maybe hes bleeding still. Very weird.

I haven't read through the GDT but did I hear right that Burns has returned to San Jose for surgery???

I had to watch the Boston feed so i don't know but that would be terrible news.

I didn't hear about surgery, but he flew back to SJ.

 

[LeeIFBB]

I'm sure the bay area butchers the Sharks have on retainer will fix him right up.

 

[Juxtaposer]

I didn't hear about surgery, but he flew back to SJ.

I can confirm that.

All of these injuries are going to be a blessing in disguise, or we are once again going to bleeped over by injuries to a team that finally seems to have the right mixture of grit, skill, speed, youngsters and veterans.

This is 2008-09 but with the injuries happening early rather than in the middle of the season. It's only a good thing if they get all these guys back with time to gel, which they should, and then stay healthy.

Would rather have this now..than in March. The Sharks would be really ****ed.

 

[Lebanezer]

Any kind of issue with his gums or jaw that required surgery would easily put him out of commission for a fair bit. It's a very sensitive area and you can't wear a mouth guard or a full cage because of the swelling and pressure you would apply.

I don't think any surgery was mentioned.

 

[Lebanezer]

I don't think any surgery was mentioned.

That's good. I hope none is required.

Speaking from experience, you can get quite the upset stomach from swallowing too much of your own blood. If it is a bleeding problem, Burns would probably be quite uncomfortable and lacking the rest he needs.

 

[hockfan1991]

So burnzies missing both games this weekend? They said he headed back to sj yesterday if that's the case maybe la game. What about havlat?

 

[Horace]

Need him back!

He prob has a concussion

Doubt it. If it were the case, Sharks would be calling it an upper body injury, instead of a mouth/facial injury.

He took a stick to chops twice, once while mic'd up for CSN. He sounded in a lot of pain and you could hear the trainer say that he was "bleeding pretty bad." In the clip, you could see him spit out a lot of blood, right after saying he took a "heavy stick" to the upper part of his mouth.

It was the goalie stick correct?
