Injury Report: Aaron Ekblad 3/28/21 (fractured leg), out fishing with the boys

[Bunch of Jurcos]

Prayers for a quick recovery! Ekblad is so good. I am glad his injury was not as bad as previously feared and hopefully he can come back as good as he was this year.

Do they give actual updates on Ek? The last I heard was “successful surgery”.

Hopefully you can go over to the Cane’s board and teach them some god damn manners because you’re by far the nicest one this year. Keep doing you brotha we appreciate it!

Nope: I check once a week but nada. We’ll see him in the Stanley cup

Hopefully he will be weight bearing in another 3 weeks.

He’ll be our Stamkos except with all finals games.

Augh. I thought there was an actual update.

Got my hopes up

 

[Chaos2k7]

I would think he is weight bearing now

Does anybody know any details on his injury/surgery what kind of fracture it was in the end and how many titanium plates and/or screws he got in what way- since he had surgery I take this as a given? (becoming a cyborg twin for Barky ). Where is Brokin btw?

I fractured my right lateral malleolus (outside of the right ankle, lowest part of your lower leg) crashing foot first into the boards. It broke from the bottom upwards several centimeters, so I got a titanium plate with 2 holding screws for the plate and one long-*ss transversal screw to pull the split parts together. For the following season, I could play and skate fine, only some friction and blistering trouble since my foot was larger at that spot. This did not go away after they took the metal out 1 year later because the bone really got a lot thicker at this spot - better protection long term, but I am still having a bit of trouble finding the perfect skates and inline rollers to get comfortable and get rid of the blistering/friction trouble. Guess this will not be an issue for a pro like Ek, good news is though that if everything is going according to plan, I would be quite sure that there is no reason to worry that he won't be his old self from before he hurt himself.

He was skating at the ice den a couple weeks ago at least. Just an FYI

I am very glad to see he is doing better!

I want to see him doing stops and starts in the corner where the Zamboni gate is. Worst ice on the rink always. That's where his accident happened. Eliminate any fear that could've crept into his head.

Ice condition had nothing to do with his injury though...

Sure
I imagine being in the area with crappy ice plays with your mind. I'm sure he had lots of time to think about everything since March.
Just like I imagined the first time he gets hit. I know I will flinch.
