Injury Report: 2018-19 Avs Injury Thread

Terrible luck for Kamenev.

Hoping he can return and not head home. He must be cursed with 2 serious injuries after waiting years for his chance to join the NHL.

Had a feeling this was gonna be the case for Kam. That play had separated shoulder written all over it. Tough break for the kid.

What happened exactly? Was it the TB game?

Oh I remember that now. Didn't really follow the game too closely but I remember thinking yikes, the way he's holding his arm looks like last year.

Goddamn Girardi...

This is a better look. Just caught him with his arm in a bad position. Always risky when you're extending your arm like that to prevent contact against the boards or a hit.

Damn. I really hope this isn't the end for Kam. He's the one player I wasn't very happy with how he was handled by Bednar and co.

To be fair, Kamenev has been a huge disappointment. A few flashes here and there but most of the time he was irrelevant offensively and not nearly as good as (at least I) expected defensively.

He was fine considering where he was playing. I wouldn't call him a huge disappointment at all. The kid has the size and skill to be a solid 3c. Hopefully this isn't the end of his career in Colorado.

Maybe I have too high expectations but I don't think he's had more than two or three good games.

Dont claim to have seen every game but I thought he showed alot when up and was gaining assertiveness confidence and than unfortunately got injured again.

I agree. Kamenev hasn't really done anything at the NHL level. Maybe he improves but right now he has very little to offer.

He's played less than 30 games in his career, and he's been stuck on the 4th line with a revolving cast of glorified AHL players. I thought he looked great at times, and invisible at other times. It's not a huge loss for the team, it just isn't ideal.

 

[ASmileyFace]

Kam has to be one of the unluckiest players I've seen. What a bummer.

This is really bad luck for Kamenev. I feel bad for him and unfortunately I think this is the end for his NHL career. Probably heads to Russia after this.

On the flip side I hope they give Greer his shot. He deserves a chance. He has been really solid in the AHL this year.

So absurd it boggles the mind.

Greer was called up so you get your wish. He has earned an NHL go for sure.

 

[ASmileyFace]

Whoops double post.

It's not that we won't give him the shot, moreso the motivation level for Kamenev. He probably can make a decent amount in Russia, or play 4th line here. I guess it will come down to what he'd prefer to do.

"Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on...okay kids...play it...do you see what Kamenoff did there? Kids, never lift your should when you're going for a hit, okay kids." "Whenever you put your extremities out and not square to your body, you're going to have a bad time." ~ My take in Don Cherry's mannerism. Unfortunately, that was Kamenev's fault in how he was bracing for the hit - absolutely dumbest way you can imagine and get yourself in sticky situations. Terrible luck for the guy though, especially when two pylons happened to injure him.

Any updates on Timmins from when he started skating two weeks ago? Has he continued to skate and progress?

No word, but there was some optimism that he might start playing before the new year.
