Injury Report: 2018-19 Injury Report - Where’s Kesler?

[duxfan1101]

From Stephens' article:
Holzer had wrist surgery and might be out for up to 5 months. He is currently in Germany.
Kossila had hip surgery and is out until November/December.
Jones has an injured thumb and may be out another month or so.
Mahura may be back next week.
Blandisi cleared for contact after an 'upper body injury'.

That damn fortnite...

 

[JabbaJabba]

Sucks that Kossila is injured, this season is his chance to break into the lineup, but now he misses the start.

 

[Sojourn]

was it against the Avs? That organization always seems to try and injure our players.

I still remember when Barrie defied the laws of physics, and was innocently launched a foot into the air to head shot Despres.

It was such an unfortunate result. Clearly not Barrie's fault at all. Cough.

Man...I hope that cough isn't contagious Soj.....

It sounds pretty bad

Kind of a major error there.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

So he's not cleared now, but he was cleared last year after his surgery

The way they handled that was complete BS, he shouldn't have came back so fast

 

[pbgoalie]

We seem concerned about our window, so rush Kesler back,
But won’t make the big moves at deadlines to attempt to win.

Can’t wait to watch Carlyle run Getz and company into the ground trying to stay above the playoff line, and being worn out/injured IF we make playoffs

I've seen better haikus. Anyway it's not even true, had Kesler in the bag until Vancouver screwed the deal, also picked up the best available forward (Eaves) the next year. Last year we stood pat, which was the right call. I've got no problems with Murray's behavior at the deadline. It's keeping RC/the assistant coaching churn that sucks.

 

[pbgoalie]

Haha no attempt at haiku, but funny!

Picking up Eaves and his injury history, much like when we grabbed damaged Robidas was a move that worked for a short time,mand then left a hole we couldn’t fill
Kesler basically forced Vancouver as you said.

We’ve been missing pieces for each run, and IMO held a little too tightly to our young assets. The expansion draft was also handled poorly. Keeping Bieksa, making no moves and having to lose Theo to protect Manson was pretty poor


And yes, keeping our retread coach is absurd

lower body

 

[mightyquack]

Last thing Perry needs is a lingering lower body injury.

 

[Duck Off]

injuries happening to the Ducks?

 

[pbgoalie]

All that hard work improving his strength, conditioning, and skating going to waste

Like Perry did that. He looked exactly the same in the one game I saw him play. No improvement to his speed. We are stuck with him.

I know you’re being sarcastic though.

 

[AngelDuck]

Yep, we're stuck with him. Which is why injuries to him are a terrible thing. The last thing we need is another Kesler on our hands, two guys eating up a large portion of our cap that can't even get on the ice at 90%.

I hope he recovers and performs about in line with what he did last season

I was hoping for a bit of a bounce back, with the benefit of a bit longer off season, and maybe some added motivation from Murray's obviously pointed comments. We'll see I guess...

[AngelDuck]

Good God, that isn't good...

Now we have two 33+ year olds with bloated contracts for the next 3+ years and debilitating injuries

 

[Duck Off]

Holy f***. I guess cap space is no longer an issue, but this could pretty bad IMO. Perry gets a lot of shit around here, but he's still clearly a top 9 guy. This blows.

 

[Elvs]

The beginning of the end for Perry, sadly.

Yeah, it's now perfectly valid to wonder if he ever makes it back to NHL caliber.

Pretty sad day for me
