Injury Report: 2015/16 Calgary Flames Injury Report Thread

An update on Smid:

In all seriousness, the fact Smid is skating again is good news.

The 29-year-old has been waiting for the green light from his surgeon to return to full contact following a serious neck injury and surgery that limited him to 31 games in 2014-15.

“I’m pretty close,” Smid said. “I’m going to say I’m a week away.”

And, following that, time will tell when he’ll return to game action.

“I’m not sure,” he said. “I don’t think it’s going to be much longer. I’ve been practising for two weeks. Obviously, I want to get into game situations as soon as possible … we’ll see. I don’t think I’m that far off. I think I’m a little ahead of plan and I feel strong.”

Anyone know what's truly up with Bennett?

For all the people who aren't fans of Colbourne (I myself don't think he's that great) we could use him. If he brings a bit more passion than what we've got now it's a good thing

From rotoworld:

Coach Hartley said that the young forward is suffering from "some bumps and bruises", so a night off was in order. Bennett is off to a slow start this season, with just one point, an assist, and three shots through four games. The ceiling is still quite high for him once he recovers.

I agree. Colborne needs more love. We could start by spelling his name correctly.

I also think that people get caught up too much in certain advanced stats. Bottom line is Colborne brings something we're dearly lacking right now- the ability to hold onto the puck in the offensive end and sustain offensive shifts.

Watched TJ Brodie skate Saturday morning. Our HNIC group asked Hartley about him and we were told that he should return soon.

My phone keeps autocorrecting to the wrong spelling lol
It does that with several players

Not Joe's biggest fan. But he has to the tools to be an impact, so I'm looking forward to his return.
