Injury Report: 2019-2020 Injury Thread Part 2

[Sea Eagles]

Can we sign Forsberg please? An injured and 9 year retired Foppa is gonna be better than freaking Dries in the lineup

Do you remember the energy Dries brought the team when he first came up? Don't you worry, everybody that wears our colors lifts and goes to another level. He'll be chomping at the bit.

Only Mikko would fall during practice with nobody around him.

He looked so much better in that regard at the start of the year. No more reaching, skating through pucks etc.

He needs to stop falling. He'll keep getting injured.

Don’t worry about Mikko. He’ll be back soon and will be a key contributor for the playoff run.

Dries sucks.

 

[henchman21]

Dries sucks.

Sucking can bring energy.

Outside of Kaut based upon his performance so far, I've always thought Dries and LOC were the best callups for the Avs to win games. Especially these tight checking games down the stretch and into the playoffs.

They play the most NHL style game by far compared to others like Tynan, Megna, and even Greer.

Rantanen really needs to work on his leg strength. Seems like he has weak feet while having strong upper body

I prefer LOC. He has a better understanding of his role. Dries tries to be like Greer and draws dumb penalties.

I tend to agree. LOC's a little bigger, and seems to have better athleticism, and a little better puck skills as well.

Really though it's an issue of who's playing better at the time.

 

[AvsCOL]

Rantanen is moving so well, and I know that it was an UBI, but there doesn't seem to be anything bothering him when he stickhandles or shoots. Hopefully he's nearing a return.

To me, Dries is still a call up. LOC may be a legit 4th liner.

I hope they’re extremely cautious with all of these injured guys.

I would love if the Avs won the division, but it’s not worth sacrificing them for the playoffs.

I agree, I’m just saying he looks comfortable.

Anyone have a link to a working version of the Rantanen summer training vid? Only ones I can find now are private.

Are you talking about the one where he goes one-on-one with his dog? lol

No. Dries sucks. Not good enough to be a bottom-6 player, and nowhere near talented enough to be a top-6 player.

I'm not necessarily mad that Kaut got sent down. I mean I thought he did quite well, but if he wasn't going to be cracking 10min TOI consistently, then let him take the confidence that he CAN play in the NHL back to the AHL for their push, and then be prepared to claim a spot next season.

But Dries? He's a useless warm body.

Weak feet?

Thats a new one.

 

[the_fan]

Well he falls down too much

 

[LieutenantDangle]

Well he falls down too much

he’s tall and has huge feet so he’s going to be less graceful than his shorter, smaller booted comparable’s

 

[CobraAcesS]

Well he falls down too much

He looked better in that regard at the beginning of the year. I bet that ankle injury undid some of the work he put in during the off season.

Let's hope now that he was out with an upper body injury he had the chance to rebuild some of his lower body strength lol.

Exactly my thoughts

 

[letsgoavs1921]

What exactly is Calvert’s injury and when is he supposed to be back?

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Dude where's Makar?

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

I’m hopeful the Avs can get a couple bodies back by Wednesday, or Friday.

If the Avs didn’t send any of the injured guys on the road trip, I have hard time believing they will be ready to hop back into the lineup a day later on the second half of the back-to-back.
