Injury Report: 2013-14 Team Injury Thread

[Dr Johnny Fever]

I believe per some kind of NHL agreement, teams have their top 5 contracts insured but not all of them. But there is probably a deductible to go along with it too.

 

[Ducks DVM]

I thought it was the first 5 years of the contracts that they could easily get insurance for with difficulty beyond that mark, which is why they wanted maximum 5 year contracts in their initial CBA offer. I could easily be wrong on that though.

That may be true too. But I do believe that not all contracts are insured. Although I suppose it's likely Souray's could be.

I believe you're correct on that. I have no idea what the criteria are though. That was just the "5" thing that popped into my head.

I tried to look up how insurance worked a while back. Never found anything concrete relative to the current CBA. What I wrote above is what I remember finding relative to the previous CBA. I'm guessing it hasn't changed radically.

I believe I read somewhere that Souray's contract was insured.

Heh, imagine the premiums on that.

Would be the same as insuring a driver who's written off 5 different cars

I wonder if Freddie is ready for saturday, whoever is going to start in first round needs 100% match fitness. If not I think we will go with Hiller both saturday and sunday, to get him some match action. If BB goes crazy and Andersen isnt available, he might go for the "hot-hand" and start Gibson. I know Hiller has been bad lately, but Gibson still got some technique issues with the rebounds, and the first goal went straight through him, albeit he looks more confident than Hiller right now.

didn't the first goal go low blocker? i thought it was just a great well-placed shot

Agreed. It also came after a bad bounce and poor D coverage. He was definitely sharper in the first game than the second but I wouldn't categorize either of the goals he gave up as bad ones.

THANK GOD! Send Gibson to Ads to help their push

The #NHLDucks hit the ice @The_Rinks - Anaheim ICE for today's practice. Goaltender @f_andersen30 is a full participant in today's skate.

Can't we send them Hiller instead.

Good to see. Should play this weekend

 

[Kalv]

Not big on making a lot out of practice but looks like Andersen has one net to himself while Gibson and Hiller are trading the other off.

[Duck Off]

Helene Elliot said that Hiller said he definitely is NOT starting Saturday. Doesn't know about Sunday yet.

 

[ducks8]

That means it definitely is Andersen's net to lose

 

[TheJoeMan]

Fistric and Sbisa practiced today. I don't recall, what's wrong with Fistric?

Some sort of nerve issue in his lower body.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Frederik Andersen
On if today was to build himself up for action tomorrow or Sunday
Nothing specific, but definitely building myself up. I got a full practice in, and it felt pretty good. I think I’m getting closer.

On when he’ll know when he’s ready
It’s just about how I feel on the ice, position-wise, and how I see the puck, too. That’s all coming back pretty good.

That ain't no regular headache.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

That ain't no regular headache.

That's always been my fear.

 

[snarktacular]

They should make our goalies wear extra mask padding or something. Gibson took one to the head too.

Yeah, seems to be a thing. Get your damn head out of the way.

"Mark Fistric (lower body) is off to AHL Norfolk on a conditioning loan. Veteran d-man agreed to assignment."

 

[Duck Off]

"Mark Fistric (lower body) is off to AHL Norfolk on a conditioning loan. Veteran d-man agreed to assignment."

That's good news. I don't think he sees the ice much come playoff time, but it shows that he'll be ready for next season.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

"Mark Fistric (lower body) is off to AHL Norfolk on a conditioning loan. Veteran d-man agreed to assignment."

That is good news. If we are going to win 16 playoff games, his grit will get utilized along the way.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Jackman officially lost for the PO.
