Figured we oughta have one of these since we will for sure suffer our fair share of injuries this season.

Lets start with some possibly good news;

Tomorrow would be a good game to miss if he needs a game off. Good news it doesn't seem to serious.

Lower body sounds waaaaaay better than what we were all speculating with Forsberg!

I'm assuming you were afraid of a concussion from that high hit?

Yes, like others I too didn't realize that he played after that hit. I wonder why we all thought that was what ended his night?

It is hard to know when you're watching on TV there's only the camera view and our announcers aren't very aware. I honestly don't think they realized that Berg didn't play the last 9 minutes.

True, in the final few mins I saw Forsberg's ice time in the box score and hoped that they'd mention it. But we have such a bargain bin broadcast. At least all of the games are on TV though, remember those early years where only 50 games were televised?

Unfortunately, I do remember that. Willie has gotten better and Mase is much better than Stu so I don't really complain about them anymore but those type of thing are frustrating. I mean, how do you not notice that Grimaldi was out there for several shifts with Dutch?

 

[King Weber]

so he was a game time decision against Arizona, missed that game, missed the Florida game and now likely misses this game as well. Weird.

As I posted in the other thread, completely frustrating from a fan perspective. Day to day and game time decision almost always winds up worse than expected

it is pretty concerning and frustrating how he always seems to get hurt when he's hot

The Preds really must put a premium on the notion that keeping the opponent in the dark means a lot. Guess what; it don’t! They have to know this is frustrating to their loyal fans.

Add duchene to the list any news on forsberg?

@Tysonson3 Forsberg was skating by himself today. It's progress.

If you don’t think opponents will target an injury , you’re wrong.

Forsberg is out due to a lower body injury, day to day, skating on his own. If you want to know more, become his doctor.

Wasn't it the Gaudreau injury a few years ago that was caused by about 5 slashes to the wrist everyone knew was injured? Maybe it was the Wild?

EDIT: It was the Wild and it was 21(!!!!) slashes. Injury information that specific will absolutely be used against you. It's like cut blocking a defensive lineman in football that has had knee/ankle issues.

Here’s how the Wild broke Johnny Gaudreau with at least 21 slashes in 1 game

 

[Legionnaire11]

I think that most injuries are pretty easy to figure out just by watching when it happens, but for the the less obvious cases there's really no good reason to divulge that information to the public no matter how frustrating it is to us fans.
