GDT: 801 Caps vs Jets 7pm Dec 23

[Jags]

The Swede.

 

[Raikkonen]

any info on Carlson?

 

[DWGie26]

Lost in the shuffle a bit are the injuries to Mojo an Carlson. Probably won’t hear much since team is off for three days, but could be another set of lineup changes.

 

[twabby]

Carlson out indefinitely.

 

[RedRocking]

Carlson out indefinitely.

Sucks, hope he is ok.

AA is our 7D, right? LuJo was sent to Hershey?

So, put Gus with TvR, and 3rd pair is Irwin-AA. That’s not too bad. Liked what I was seeing from AA before he got concussed.

Wonder how close Fever is from returning - that injury looked bad, was surprised his arm wasn’t broken.

And the beat goes on with this injured team…

 

[Midnight Judges]

Dang that sucks. Hope he's alright. He was playing really well.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Yeah, we’re quick to criticize Carlson, but I thought he’d been playing solid hockey at both ends for the past month, even if he hasn’t picked up many goals.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Carlson out indefinitely.

How did he get hurt, and where is it, roughly? I didn’t see the game

Took a slapshot in the ear and was heavily leaking as he was hurried off the ice.

Ugh. Thanks for sharing. That’s not good

We speculate that it was the ear but there's no confirmation.

Hard to imagine it being anything else by the reaction, though.

 

[bacchist]

I'm really concerned it could threaten his career. The parallels to Bryan Little and the ominous announcement that he'll be out indefinitely give me a real bad feeling.

 

[Corby78]

Carlson out indefinitely.

This year will be the year of injuries…. It just doesn’t stop

Hard to imagine he’d have been released from the hospital in less than 24 hours if it was that serious. Or at least that’s what I’m telling myself.

 

[tycoonheart]

The "out indefinitely" portion of the statement has me worried.

 

[crazy8888]

The "out indefinitely" portion of the statement has me worried.

It could mean many diff things. Ive seen players out indefinitely and come back within weeks. Not often but it happens. Indefinitely just means they dont have a time table for return. Probably have to wait for swelling to go down to be able to run conclusive tests. He also left on his own power which is a good sign.

Agreed. Fever and Alexyev both had the “indefinite tag”. It’s just undefined. Same with Oshie. I feel like this tag is getting used even more so they can just be that much more secretive. I suspect JC74 is back in a week or two depending on how we handle everyone else coming back into the lineup.

Damn I’m already faded on some old fashions

Love me some old fashioned. Are you in DC area? There is a restaurant called Julii in Pike and Rose that makes THE best old fashioned.
