Injury Report: 2016-2017 Edition II

[Mr. Hab]

Just super glad it wasn't a ONE month or TWO months' injury (or worse....a season ending injury).

Huge bonus...he's been skating now for 2-3 days and according to one of you is looking good. Great news! (I'm guilty of often bashing the many-mistakes-Emelin, but we definitely need the late-season-good-Emelin...that's the one we need!! and D-Depth is important...whether it's Emelin, Davidson, or Beaulieu...better to have all three...more friendly competition/options for the #5-6 spots).

Go Habs Go!!

Doubtful. This type of knee surgery uses small cuts, so healing is much faster.

Think about knee reconstruction, you have to make big cuts, which heal much slower, therefore you can't train in any way for months. With this type of surgery, he should avoid bending it but the rehab time is a fraction of other type of knee surgeries.

Is it the same knee he had surgery on couple of years ago?

If the hit with Lucic was the cause of the last surgery, I believe it was his left knee and this time its his right.

So...2 bad knees for Emelin.

That was only the eye test. He made contact with the left knee, but it could have twisted his right knee.

Found this article, it was in fact his left knee http://thereuschblog.com/?p=24219
