Injury Report: 2023/2024 Injury Update

[Rapala]

They'd send him down to Laval on a conditioning stint but the games are too important.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Wasn't Dvorak considered as done for the season at first?

He was, but he said that he wants to come back before the season is over. Not sure why...maybe he hope to be traded this summer?

 

[LesHabitants]

I completely forgot that player was on the roster. Forgettable and irrelevant on and off the ice.

Hockey players don't like to be on the sideline. It would be a much better feeling for him heading into the offseason knowing he finished the season healthy and back playing games.

Plus if there are games upcoming that I can play in, even as an adult beer league player, I look forward to them. Most pro athletes are no different. No one likes a long summer with no playoffs.

 

[BaseballCoach]

Not really as we will get more useless pts.

You're probably right. But on the other hand...............

Imagine if the Habs won the next 10 games, finishing with 88 just ahead of five teams with 87. And we get into the last wild card spot.

Also imagine Dvorak going to help Laval for two weeks on a conditioning stint, then returning to Montreal to replace Colin White for the playoffs.

Habs draw Boston in the first round, Celine Dion switches to supporting Montreal, and the Bruins wilt in disappointment.

Kent Hughes dons a red jacket and the club goes on a run, defeating the Leafs in the second round and Kotkaniemi in the Conference final.

Then imagine Dach returning for the Stanley Cup final and scoring the Cup winning goal. When they are in the handshake line, Sean Monahan tells Suzuki he will be returning July 1st. Toffoli says "me, too".

[Tyson]

Yep this organization is cursed.

 

[The Real Timo]

f***!!!

 

[habsfan891]

Yep this organization is cursed.

I've been saying this for like 2 years now its actually against all statistical probability that we have this many serious injuries to our good developing young players

 

[Wats]

Honestly, it's really concerning for his fighting career having this many shoulder injuries. Maybe he's been in pain for a while now and part of the reason he didn't fight as much. Seasons over anyways and Barron needs some icetime. It's not good but could be worse.

 

[LV426]

Hello, old friend.

 

[The Real Timo]

Yep this organization is cursed.

30 years of atrocious management and coaching. Yes curse is deserved. But done fans who have nothing to downvote it have to suffer?

Is it possible it's the same injury that never went away?

EDIT: Never mind, read his thread. That's concerning.

 

[schwang26]

Absolutely

Is it the same shoulder? Fighting or no, big physical guys would certainly encounter shoulder issues from constantly hitting and taking hits

 

[Runner77]

At least Ghule is skating.

No. Last year, the surgery was for the right shoulder (also after a fight - with Desharnais). Lapresse has some details : Le Canadien | Saison terminée pour Arber Xhekaj, retour au jeu pour Christian Dvorak

I mean he ran into 2 enormous dudes, a lot of weight coming together there.

 

[Rapala]

Damn surgery is a month and a half later than last season. Will he be ready for Camp.

 

[Whitesnake]

A physical guy with 2 operations to his shoulders.....wow.

 

[BaseballCoach]

But it's frustrating that he got jumped in the waning minutes of a game for no good reason. I really believe that an instigator penalty that results in an injury should come with a suspension.

And it happened in the same game Kucherov drove Guhle's head into the boards, to boot. Arghh!

 

[Hannibal]

A physical guy with 2 operations to his shoulders.....wow.

Every guy who gets that surgery are saying their shoulder feels stronger after. So hopefully he’ll be ok..

 

[OldCraig71]

And to think we laughed at and applauded the Slaf-Xhekaj hit, little did we know.

It's weird shit like that happening that makes the cheap shot on Guhle so much more frustrating.
