Injury Report: 2012-2013 Injury Thread

[Foppa Frossa]

Oh yeah, forgot about that

 

[Avs_19]

Avalanche right wing Milan Hejduk is out indefinitely with a shoulder injury, which he suffered early in Saturday's 1-0 overtime victory over the Nashville Predators in Denver.

Never want to see a player get hurt and hopefully it's not too serious but at this point I'd much rather have someone like Sgarbossa in the line up instead of Hejduk. I'd like to see what Sgarbossa can do on a scoring line with the Avs. Hishon can take his spot and get more minutes with the Monsters.

If this a serious injury, hopefully he can come back and play one last home game. Or even just one more shift so he gets a proper send off. They have Bordeleau playing 2 minutes so why not Hejduk for 30 seconds?

Just wanted to touch on the bolded...

If Joe Sacco refused to put Sgarbossa in an actual scoring-line role earlier in the season, I fail to see how he would do it this time around (should Sgar be brought up).

His handling of Sgarbossa the first time up, just flat out refusing to even TRY him in an Offensive, Top-6 role, finally brought me around to the "Fire Sacco" camp.

I would prefer Malone, because there's just no point in bringing up Sgarbossa and putting him on a checking line.

Bob didn't tweet that.

Fake tweet about Duchene?

 

[Alex Jones]

Lol.

Looks like Varly's got a hip issue. That's why he's not practicing or traveling with the team. Staz is close too apparently.

Normal #AVALANCHE practice. No fireworks on Jiggy front. Varly shut down for hip, won't travel. Stas back.

I hope Olver is the one who sits and not Malone. Malone is a gamer.

I like how both are playing. VDG should sit. He won't mind collecting an NHL paycheck and it won't hurt his development.

I hope its Jones

Edit: Or VDG

 

[AvsRobin]

I like Mitchell, but he might need a wake up call like McGinn got a few weeks ago.

And I also don't see the need for Bordeleau every game.

 

[AslanRH]

My vote is DVG as I don't think he has a big role on the future of this team anyway. Malone, Palushaj, and Bordeleau should get as many opportunities as possible to end this year due to their contracts expiring.

I thought Olver was one of the few guys who got pass marks last night.

Cody McLeod to continue to wear an 'A' Wed at ANA, but when Hejduk returns Thu at LAK he will lose it. Stastny back vs Ducks #Avalanche

Safe to assume DVG and Malone get sent back down?


Mike Chambers ‏@MChambersDP 50s
Varlamov might return to lineup Saturday vs. VAN in Denver. #Avalanche

Sami Aittokallio called up from LEM to replace Varlamov on 2-game trip to SoCal. Aittokallio to serve as Giguere's backup. #Avalanche

Always liked Brad malone he should not be sent anywhere. Send someone else down or sit Jones and Mitchell

Send DVG down for sure but knowing the Avs they'll send Malone with him

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

who ever thought we'd be wanting malone to play over jones.

Wouldnt shock me. Afterall Sacco said Barrie is a 7th/8th dman behind stalwarths such as Zanon, hunwick, SOB and ROB at the time.

 

[The Kingslayer]

I wanted Malone to play ahead of Mcleod a few seasons ago. Ugh Mcleod on the PP just makes me want to strangle a small goat.

I'd rather have anyone out there but Bordy on the PP.
Sacco logic again.

Damn it. I don't like that this is still on the last page of this thread. My heart skipped a beat again, until I double checked the date.

From DenverPost

The Avalanche is likely to be without defenseman Erik Johnson against the Canucks. Johnson suffered a wrist injury and is listed as doubtful.

Goalie Semyon Varlamov remains sidelined because of a hip injury

Milan Hejduk (shoulder) is day to day
