Injury Report: 2013-14 Team Injury Thread

[TheJoeMan]

Jackman officially lost for the PO.

That's rather pessimistic.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

That's rather pessimistic.

Well, I fully expect it to be 5 weeks...

 

[TheJoeMan]

I'm talking about 5 weeks means the playoffs are over for us. Worst case scenario he's back by the Western Conference Final.

I know what you're referring to, just completely slipped my mind that NHL PO usually last closer to 7-8 weeks.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

I think the biggest problem would be just how available would he be to fight when he returns. Without that fear, opponents will not respect him for the job he normally does.

 

[Paul4587]

By the time he's back fighting will have all but dried up. Most of the fights you'll see that late in the postseason seem to be emotions spilling over from the top guys as opposed to a heavyweight dropping the gloves.

Yeah, you're right. I kind of forgot about the playoff code. So as long as he could play with some grit it could work out for us. If it were the regular season it would be a different story.

 

[BearFlag]

Do we know if Getzlaf is ok for sure yet? Any updates of Beleskey?

Man, we were doing so well in the first half and then these injuries happened.

 

[terranraida]

Wughh.

 

[Ducksgo*]

Matt Beleskey also has lower body injury with Getzlaf upper body.

Damn man

 

[Goose of Reason]

Stephens saying on twitter Getzlaf is expected to be in for game 2, x-rays came back negative.....whew I was more worried about that than my exam in 4 hours

 

[Tony O]

A friend just texted me that Fowler was on Good Day L.A. via the phone. Cam stated that Getzlaf is ok and its nothing serious. Can anyone confirm this?

Dan Wood just tweeted the same news.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Hard headed SOB

 

[Kalv]

I actually liked Seguins move right after the injury to go and check if everything is ok. Not that it helped but the dude earned some +`s from me, i didn`t knew he was from that type of guys.

 

[bumperkisser]

"deep facial laceration" that sounds pretty scary. glad hes in for game 2 i think...

 

[gratefulyours]

Hard headed SOB

guy is literally a beast. hope the swelling and such don't effect his play to much =).

 

[KaseMeOutside]

let's see how it affects his play, it really scares the **** out of me to see him blocking so many shots, i wish he'd stop or BB would be more selective with atleast the PK minutes

I agree. Everytime I see Getzlaf go to block a shot I cringe. BB did rest him from the PK in the last few games of the season though.

Given Getzlaf's style of play we're lucky he's stayed as healthy as he has so far in his career.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

he's far too valuable to lose over a shotblock, it sounds bad but if we have to do that i rather see someone lower on the totem poll do that

 

[Static]

That's the ducks game plan though, and I hate it. They sit back and let the points pound shots into them thinking they'll probably be able to get to 75% of them, and cause another good amount to shoot wide.

The problem is that now in the playoffs time and space is pretty much the currency of the moment, and losing players to blocked shots is even more likely after 82+ games on these guys' bodies.

 

[Sojourn]

I think the problem is that, if you want Getzlaf to be the warrior he can be, you have to let him make the sacrifice plays. You can't really go half-way, as that type of player. This is Getzlaf being a leader, and showing what needs to be done to win games. Can we really afford to not let him set the example?

 

[Ducks DVM]

My concern is actually whether or not he has to put a shield on, or even worse a cage. He's going to lose the ability to do all those fancy dangles if the last time is any indicator.

 

[mightyquack]

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty sure I cried some tears of joy when I read there was no broken bones. You mean SOB Getzy

I don't think he will, he hasn't actually broken anything. The only danger would be of the stitches breaking I suppose.
