Injury Report: 2019-2020 Injury Report

[MissouriMook]

The Blues announce an upper-body injury for Carl Gunnarsson and he's been placed on IR. Niko Mikkola has been called up from San Antonio.

Live look at @Ranksu

 

[Blueston]

Niko Miko time.

 

[542365]

Gunnar just cannot stay healthy man.

Happy for Mikkola. Our D pairings are already such a cluster though. No idea where he slots in.

Dunn/Petro
Bo/Parayko
Mikkola/Faulk

I don’t know. He might just be the seventh in case Bort gets injured or suspended again.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Live look at @Ranksu

I think the only thing that’ll top his reaction to this is his reaction to the Berglund trade

 

[BlueDream]

Gunny is whatever to me. Always has injury issues.

Mikkola is an important prospect. With Edmundson now gone too, we need to get Mikkola some NHL games and see how he looks. I really hope he becomes a solid defender for us. He seems to have some nice tools.

Will the last St. Louis Blue who is not injured please remember to turn off the lights

This Foley can burn in the hell.

HTF does Mikkola still weight 205lbs......

 

[TK 421]

"Well folks Carl Gunnarson returns to the lin......wait. We've just received word that he injured himself breathing during warm ups and is back out indefinitely."

There is 3 choices. I think your option is most likely, but

Maybe

Jbo - Pietro
Mikkola - Parayko
Dunn - Faulk

Or

Mikkola - Pietro
Jbo - Parayko
Dunn - Faulk

 

[Ranksu]

I think it might help Faulk to have good stay-at-home dmen. Let Faulk handle transition game.

Seriously doubt that.
If we just wanted a bench body we could have brought Pouliot back up or given Dotchin/Borgman the call.

My gut says Mikkola gets a game or 2 like Kostin, Walker and Poganski did. Probably gets very sheltered minutes with Petro or Parayko to hold his hand, but I expect him to see the ice.

Mikkola was mentioned in a few Hall proposals on the mains. (Over my dead body! ) Apparently NJ needs LD prospects. He better not be being showcased.

 

[shpongle falls]

I can't wait to see how Mikkola looks in the NHL, only time I've seen him play was the prospects tourney.

Se have Borgman and Mikkola, but after that we really dont have legit LHD prospect who could be Jbo/Edmundson 2.0.

Walman is somewhere Dunn lite? Reinke RHD. We fall bit short IF we start to move our only dmen prospects.

Sidenote how vocal Army was about Mikkola at summer. I doubt Mikkola will be dealt. But any finnish player hasnt success in Blues so... give it and take it.

 

[Coach Parker]

Status on Tarasenko?

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Status on Tarasenko?

Same as it has been. Re-evaluated right around the end of the regular season.

 

[Mike Liut]

Wonder if he’s skating

 

[Mike Liut]

I’m not expecting Tarasenko to even play in the playoffs. Just be ready for camp big boy. We’ll need you when trying for 3 in a row.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Praise imaginary friend of your choosing!

Yay, Cthulhu!

 

[Dbrownss]

Yay, Cthulhu!

Russell's teapot is my jam

Dude is skinny as a rail. Not sure he has the frame or the genetics to add a bunch of muscle.

IF Teräväinen did gain muscle last summer I bet Mikkola can do it also.

 

[Ranksu]

What is Blais status and evaluated time to come back? What about Sanford isn't he healthy scratch?
