Injury Report: 2020-21 Injuries & Covid Thread (Silfverberg out for the season)

[mightyquack]

What a f***ing embarassment from the Ducks. Heads have to roll over this - completely unacceptable.

Why do I get thee feeling Bob orchestrated the timing with the ED coming.

CLOWN. SHOW.

In fairness to bob the comment he made was that he was upset that some players wouldn't play through bumps and bruises. Big difference between hurting and being injured. I think that was in juxtaposition to guys like perry and kesler who decided to warrior through legitimate injuries because they wanted to be on the ice that badly.

This and players seem to rest while hurting. That's a completely different story here. Bob, like no GM has the power to force players to play. He does not have the one ring.

 

[Masch78]

Yeah, I think Bob’s comments were more along these lines than saying he wanted guys to play through major injury. The comparison of hurting vs. being injured definitely rings a bell. I think he also said that he got pissed when the player said “if it was the playoffs, I’d play.” Pretty sure he was referring to Ritchie, and I could see why that would be upsetting. Usually it’s the coaching staff and management deciding to hold a guy back if it’s not the playoffs, not the player himself.

No it wasn't, he emphasized a few times when you're hurt, you are hurt and don't play.

You guys want to point everything to Bobs failure.

Either you didn't understand what I said, or didn't read it in context. I was not critical of Bob in any way. I was saying that he never was adamant that guys play through a serious injury.

Anyone know why manson didn't play yesterday and if it's just yesterday or a longer injury?

 

[snowave]

I didn't watch the game, but I suspect its due to his getting clocked in a fight earlier in the week.

Oh no. Hope it isn't a concussion.

 

[FiveHoleTickler]

Oh no. Hope it isn't a concussion.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is. His eyes were glazed over and he mistakenly went after the official (thinking he was Lemieux). Des jumped in to pull Manson off the official and Lemieux was signaling for help immediately after he connected. It was pretty brutal.

Manson needs to hang them up for this season. Been a rough couple years for the guy. It's tough not to feel for him.

Lindholm posted a video of him doing a leg workout. He had a brace on his wrist still, but it’s good to see him working.

Henrique on the COVID-19 Protocol

I hope he doesn't have it. What a time to get it when he's had his first shot and we are so close to the light at the end of tunnel with the infection rate in California at the lowest since the start of the pandemicl

[Arthuros]

Cautious approach, I approve.

What also infuriates me about Silfverberg's injury is that he could have gotten it fixed last offseason when it was clear that Anaheim was out of any play-in -games and the start for 2020-2021 season was in the far distant. Even if he goes to the surgery in June, he likely would have made the season opener.

Even if he goes to the surgery in June, he likely would have made the season opener.

I initially had this line of thinking, but then remembered how doctors would go the path of a less invasive approach, which surgery is. Due to COVID shutting the game down and long term uncertainty, the doctors thought Silf could heal with enough time off along with other remedies besides surgery. Unfortunately, it was re-injured to the point it now needs surgery. It does seem weird to say he's played on it for two seasons, but it also seems wrong.

Yet, I recalled when I dislocated my elbow snowboarding, the doc recommended not having surgery. I've got 100% medical range of motion (ROM) after my recovery, but my arms don't match up in length. Apparently, I had over 100% medical ROM. I brought this idea up earlier in this thread, iirc. Sometimes, luck doesn't go your way in case of Silf. It does feel like adding salt to injury as a Ducks fan.

This is something I forgot about. When everything got shut down, elective, non life saving surgeries got canceled as well. That's something I didn't even think about

Nice to give Miller a proper send off in front of the fans. Classy by Eakins and the Ducks.

 

[lwvs84]

Awesome, I have tickets tomorrow. It'll be good to see Miller one last time

I know wins could cost us draft spots, but screw it... I hope Miller wins one last time in front of our fans tomorrow. And I hate the Kings so win tonight too.

[TheGoodShepard1]

Good for Backes. If this is it for him as well, he deserves to get a nice send-off from the Blues' fans and organization.
