Back injury huh. As someone who has a bad back it's something you don't mess with. I'm not saying his career is done but depending on the type of injury and severity of it, there's a chance. Take it from my experience.

Yea, those are just injuries that seem to almost never go away. Once you got em, you got em for good. Hopefully it's not like a disc issue or anything like that, but you never know. Apparently it's from this year and JR speculates it happened against Anaheim in the 6-1 win.
If it happened during games this season, that’s a positive detail that increases the likelihood of it not being a chronic issue, in contrast to if we were told this was something that happened in the bubble or earlier.
I’d speculated about his back a couple weeks ago, but after JR’s cryptic comments I’d started wondering about a sports hernia. A soft tissue back injury is probably the best scenario. In that case resting for a while should help significantly.

You're definitely smarter than I about those types of medical problems players deal with. Initially they were so cryptic with it, and personally I've never had back issues when playing roller hockey, so I couldn't guess what his play was a result of. It makes sense now that it would've been something wrong with his back since he couldn't get up to speed, was standing around, stick checking was bad; he was clearly limiting his movement with his back as opposed to the covid issues I thought he had. Hindsight is 20-20 though
Saying, “back issue” is such a wide differential of possibilities, we don’t know much. But if it happened in recent weeks, during a game, and he didn’t miss games at the time of injury...I think we can deduce a bit about the nature of this. Apparently the team and Colton thought he could play through it and things would get better. I also understand why they wouldn’t want to publicize it was his back, when opponents can so easily cross check him right on the area involved. I get the team’s approach.
I’m repeating myself, but I think a Covid shutdown for the Blues right now might be a positive development all things considered.
So I guess we can agree is it a shoulder injury......
For those who don't get it, most of the time teams keep injuries on the down low.
I doubt JR of all people would be someone they tell Parayko's injury to.

Luke Schenn on Waivers. with the Blues dropping like flies every game would not surprise me to see them pick him up.

Haha, big LD fan here!
I can see why fans would be skeptical, but all he has to do is replace Gunnars +/- 12 mins per game and he wouldn't cost any assets. Plus, the Schenn brothers seem pretty close and it would be a feel-good story for the season.
I don't really care either way, just felt it makes sense considering the timing of him going on waivers.

Montreal is doing their best to go nowhere very quickly.
Julien might not be the best coach in the NHL, but that roster is far too flawed and he still managed to get the most out of the players. He wasn’t the problem. Marc Bergevin having no idea how to assemble a team and Montreal’s inability to develop players are the problem.

Sure looks like panic move by Montreal to fire Julien and Muller.

Pro sports is becoming predictable and boring
What the hell is going on in Montreal?
I thought they were winning with a mediocre team.

How was our special teams under Muller? Were they ultra bad or ultra good — there is no in between for the Blues

If I remember right, Muller ran a top 10 PP in his time with STL
Lol I love it. Habs fans were hyping up Bergevin and their team big time after 10 games and I knew that wouldn’t last.

Price is getting outplayed by Allen this year and he still has 6 years left at a huge cap hit. They are gonna be stuck in the middle for a long time, and it feels like that's where they've been for the most part for over a decade now. For such an iconic franchise, they have been very indistinct outside of Price's heroics since the full season lockout.
I'm not the first person to say this, but never sign goalies to long contracts unless the cap hit is too low to pass up.
