Injury Report: 2013-14 Team Injury Thread

[MainDotC]

Actually I just realized I can't review the game in GCL because the game was shown on NHL network. I have to wait another day

 

[MainDotC]

You can see the hit on NHL Videocenter

You can ? I don't see it.

 

[Sojourn]

Per Stephens - Silf is out 4-6 weeks with a broken hand, Penner is back, MP22 is day to day

Well, that's a big bag of suck.

Can see the swing round right onto the right hand of Silfverberg just before he lands the hit

 

[MainDotC]

I also see it now during the Sportsnet intermission between EDM / PHX too. Thanks.

 

[Ducksgo*]

I don't get it. Are you celebrating the injury? Stupidly oblivious that Silfverberg is also young?

Not celebrating the injury by any means. But having Etem and Palms seeing some real minutes shouldn't start controversy should it?

 

[Papaspud]

The Boston game will probably add to this list rather significantly.

 

[Hurricane Hugo]

Wait, what? I didn't even know he got hurt...

Well this ****ing sucks. Glad to see MP22 is only day-to-day, but still. Damn.

Do you think having Etem or Palmieri replace Silfverberg is what annoyed me?

 

[HanSolo]

For real though Ducksgo. If you're gonna be on the youth movement train at least be consistent about it. Fowler, Lindholm, Vatanen, Silfverberg, Bonino are all young and I never see you post about them.

 

[Sojourn]

Silfverberg is better than Etem, and only marginally older.

This makes us a worse team. I don't know how you could think that's a good thing. You might do well to remember that the Ducks should come first, before the players you like. Winning hockey games. That is what is important.

 

[rollingdux]

Noooo......

 

[Mr Rogers]

I think Holland is coming up. Admiralsvoice tweeted he's a healthy scratch.

 

[DarthYenik]

This team is made of glass.

 

[Sojourn]

This team is made of glass.

The 2007 team had injury problems too. Just FYI.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

The 2007 team had injury problems too. Just FYI.

Not to this extent, the sheer number of players injured. At least, not that I remember. We did lose Pronger for a while, but our top 9 were all pretty healthy. We did lose some guys in the playoffs, though.

edit - and I think that was the year Fedoruk had the face cave in.

 

[DaDucks*]

They had their share of injuries, but they still played very tough, no matter what lineup they iced.

Giguere, Bryzgalov, Marchant, Pronger, Niedermayer, and Beauchemin? All in about a month? (I might have forgotten someone else)

Fedoruk was 2006.

I think the injury problems are being overstated here. Beauchemin is recovering from an ACL. Souray was hurt in the off-season(and, we all know injuries are an issue for him). Sbisa with a sprain.

Except for the broken wrist for Silfverberg(which has nothing to do with being glass... a good hard chop in the right spot will break something), this is all small stuff. That's normal. For any team. It's far more unusual for a team to not have problems like this over an 82 game season.

Edit: Sorry, I should elaborate, as far as this season goes, it's small stuff. Beauchemin's tear was last season, and Souray was in the off-season. Franky was a friggin warrior for playing on that tear. These are just the consequences of that.

 

[Sojourn]

I will say, though, that if this is an issue over the course of the entire season(where it seems like every week we're losing someone) I'll change my opinion. That would definitely not be normal.

You are seriously jumping to assumptions Sojourn. Making us a worst of a team? How do you know this? Magic 8 ball?

Give the kid a chance. Hell both kids.

You are absolutely dreaming if you think losing Silfverberg makes us a better team.

I know you love Etem, and you think he's the best thing since sliced bread, but the NHL is result driven. It isn't potential driven. Silfverberg is currently the better player, and losing him makes us a worse team.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Ugh, that's a huge hit to the team. I wonder if Ottawa's 1st is already on IR as well.

I'm as big a supporter of Etem, though not part of the bat-**** crazy contingent you're chartering, but Silfverberg is a lot better than him. A whole lot. I love Etem but the only thing he does better is skate and hit. Though Silfverberg has gone cold lately Etem has to really elevate his game to make up for Silfverberg. We're absolutely worse today than we were yesterday. We're still strong enough to win but you're naive if you think this doesn't hurt the team.

Silf is one of our better defensive-minded forwards who also can score as well as be a part of the shootout. This sucks. Add missing MP22 on top of that and that's 2/3rds of our second line!

 

[Duck Off]

So the following players are out tonight:

Beleskey, Souray, Perrault, Penner, Fasth, and Silf.

My god these injuries blow. That's 3 top six forwards.
