Injury Report: 2014-2015 Injury Thread Part II

dahrougem2 · Mar 13, 2015

Some people really think there's nothing to play for anymore? Getting EJ and Winchester into the lineup would be HUGE, and heck, if Rendulic could come back too, that would likely mean the end of Cliche, one of Briere/Caron/Hamilton, and one of Guenin/Redmond (likely Redmond) from our lineup. As Bender said, the schedule for the teams in the wildcard race is tough.

We aren't out of the race by any means. We still have 4 games vs the three worst teams in this league, and should we win those games anything can happen because we still play San Jose, Winnipeg, and Calgary too. I haven't lost hope yet. I'll never lose hope when Varly is in net

Yeah winning 11 of 13 isn't going to happen, if those teams can slump enough to bring the target down then things could get interesting though. We'll see.

It's 11 out of 14 and while unlikely, the Avs have a lot of winnable games in that bunch.

It just kind of has to happen early..instead of all at the end. A lot of the teams that are currently in front of the Avs have been pretty hot of late and all it takes is a bit of a slump and we could slide in.

Like I said, I think LA passes Calgary...so we are essentially competing with the following teams for that 1 last playoff spot :

Calgary LOL (http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?p=99042239#post99042239) - hope it happens

San Jose Double LOL (http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=1854201) - Yeah I don't think Doug Wilson is a good GM

and

Winnipeg - like I said, toughest schedule the rest of the way

It's not out of the real of impossibility for it to become a dogfight to the end...of course a lot of stuff needs to happen until then. We need to start with a win against Calgary at home on Saturday and then we get some days off to regroup for that last push while these other teams battle it out.

Agreed. The hype train is stocked with coal and starting to roll.

Lol someone pointed out in the other thread the wild's remaining schedule...holy crap, that is nasty!!!

tigervixxxen · Mar 13, 2015

Both are pretty bad. If either the Wild or Jets get through that then good for them.

What is status with Rendulic ? Did he start to practice on ice ?

Sorry if someone already wrote it, I am to busy to read whole thread.

Thanks !

Unfortunately I don't think there has been any real news on it though someone will correct me if I'm wrong. I don't even remember hearing much about the severity of the break or how long he was expected to be out. Happened mid January so 8 weeks ago now which I thought was generally around the time frame for a break.

tigervixxxen · Mar 14, 2015

No, unfortunately our reporters have forgotten about him. Did read an article from Croatia a week or so ago that he want ready to skate yet.

JohnLennon · Mar 14, 2015

Does anyone know why Nathan Mackinnon has not been placed on injured reserve yet, if he is out for 6-8 weeks? He's still listed as Day-to-Day...

tigervixxxen · Mar 14, 2015

I guess since it's after the deadline they don't need to go on IR :dunno:

Correct, there's no roster limit. Just the four recall rule until the end of the regular season.

I believe you still have to have a "23 man active roster" but that's more a formality, that you can just swap out guys and submit a new one to the NHL if you need to make a change.

tigervixxxen · Mar 14, 2015

On the AHL transactions they recalled Elliott and demoted him yesterday. He was in the game yesterday too. I dont get it. Hope they didn't burn one of the 4 doing it.

Bad news for my fantasy team!!

forsbergavs32 · Mar 15, 2015

EJ and Winchester would be awesome for the rest of this playoff push, I still don't see Winchester back at all this year though (and it would probably be best to give him an offseason to get back into shape and hope the symptoms are completely gone.)

On a related note, as unlikely as it is, it would be amazing if EJ came back by next friday, I'll be at the game in Anaheim, it would be great to have another competent D-man in the lineup besides Barrie, Hejda and Stuart.

Now, now, give Holden his credit. He's no core defenseman but he's played well since the new year

Really don't think EJ is back by then. Roy suggested Vancouver. I don't think he comes back 6 days sooner than that, but it would be awesome.

Tyler Durden · Mar 16, 2015

Any updates on E.Johnson? He's expected to play on the road trip, probably vs Anaheim or Calgary.

Vancouver is the last we heard as far as I know

I'll be at that game so I'm hoping hes back by then :crossfing

For fantasy wise G A PTS +/- PIM SOG PPP HITS would you take Shattenkirk over E.Johnson? Don't be biased since your a Avs fan.

Shattenkirk's numbers will be always better than EJs. Take Shattenkirk.

Obviously, but strictly for PP points.

In the last 2 years EJ has more pims, hits, and goals. He also out produces him at ES. Shattenkirk just slaughters him on the PP.

Shattenkirk is obviously one of the best fantasy defencemen this season.

Odd question to ask. Especially the statement at the end of the post...
