Injury Report: 2023 - 2024 Injury Thread HF's New longest ever thread

[avalanche_country]

Wonder if they noticed Drouin limping at all or if it was a mast cut that got him?

 

[Foppa2118]

I’ve been fairly obsessively watching the team since their first season in Denver and I think the only time any member of the Avs organization was ever completely honest was that time Makar shook off a penalty called in his favor.

Then they took him to the basement and he hasn’t looked the same since.

Timing seems to coincide with Cale's hip injury. LOC's a good guy too, he must have done something sportsmanlike this year.

Landeskog on the ice doing pre-practice warmups with the team.

Getting better and stronger everyday…

I'm half convinced we will never see him skate in a regular practice jersey. He'll be in the red no-hit jersey skating around like this with the boys in the morning. Then he'll be dropping the gloves on the opening faceoff and beating the ever loving crap out of somebody to set the god damned tone later that night.

Can’t imagine how tough this has been physically and mentally not being in battle with his team

Yeah, and knowing the type of man he is, the fact that he's the Captain must've have made this all the more intolerable to bare. It's not just that they could've used him skill-wise out there. There were a lot of times, especially last season, where I think they just absolutely missed him... both personally and for the emotional leadership he provides.

I sort of pity the team we are playing the night he is green-lit. The dogs are going to be pulling the sled HARD. Nobody is going to allow themselves to be the reason that night doesn't end with a total celebration.

Just kidding.
I hope.

Fresh Drouin news

Drouin told Francois Gagnon from RDS (French TSN) exactly what happened.

That’s actually great news because it’s not a lingering injury. Once it’s good to go, he should be close to 100%

a deep skate cut is why Landy is still out two years later...

This is on his thigh though and not right on the border of multiple bone overlaps and tendons and whatnot

Landeskogs knee cartilage was destroyed.

If Drouin only has a skate cut, it’s simply a matter of letting it heal.

Drouin career officially over because Bednar is going to murder him for disclosing actual relevant injury info.

 

[Balthazar]

Drouin's cut is just above the knee

I love how Avs media gets schooled time and again by out-of-town media.

Let's not litigate this right now. He's aiming to be back in weeks, not years. Let's enjoy the possibility of him coming back

Are you trying to tell us something?.......

 

[henchman21]

FTR I don’t think Drouin will have a Landy situation happen. Cuts happen more frequently than they should, but they mostly just heal with little long term damage. I’m sure he’ll be fine. Our group should be a little more leery of it for obvious reasons.

Where the f*** is the kevlar, boys.

Someone should ask Frenchy if the Nords were this secretive about injuries when the team played in Quebec..

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

That sucks that Drouin is out for round 2. Gonna be a tough series against either Dallas, or Vegas.

 

[LOFIN]

Sexiest man ever

If Landeskog never plays a game again, he has a good career next to Lundqvist performing in ads as models.

You should read about how Peter and Anton got to Quebec. The Nordiques/Avs have had to employ gestapo media relations since the onset with the defection of those two. The Athletic had a pretty good writeup that includes some of the details in their top NHL 99 series...

NHL99: Peter Stastny's harrowing path to greatness has never been more relevant

Stastny has watched the world come full circle since he left Czechoslovakia to become an NHL star in 1980.

We’d lose our credentials if we talked to an injured player. Not the same rules for everyone, unfortunately.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Landy, show yourself!!!

 

[Jazzguitar]

Don't worry Landy will be back for game 1, of the first round.
