Injury Report: Bjugstad out for season; Underwent Back Surgery

[Gentle Man]

Seems like we are
@GeorgeRichards "Trocheck & Pirri definitely show chemistry. Of Pirri’s three goals in the past 2 games, TRO recorded primary assist"

Defense is suspect though...

Day to Day = Back Surgery

For the record, the team never said that Bjugs was day to day. He missed practice and since the team didn't disclose how severe it was, there was a chance that he could still be back. Hence day to day, due to the lack of knowledge about the situation.

Don't know if to laugh or cry.

Day-To-Day to back surgery Classical Panthers

Can only hope Pirri and Trochek keep up their play.

I still want answers from the medical staff. As everyone has stated day to day = out for an extended period of time. This is not acceptable and it has gone on for a while now.

Not sure why you think the medical staff did anything wrong. We have zero facts on the situation.

There are injuries where the doctor will tell you, you can play as long as you can deal with the pain/discomfort and you wont make it worse. Very likely Bjugstad has had enough and wants to get the surgery over with. He could probably still "play" but he's been pretty ineffective the last month or so.

If he had a herniated disc for example, you could play with that but it's likely to be aggravated by playing causing back spasms but the injury wont really get worse. Like all hockey players, Bjugstad probably tried to tough it out but realized he wasn't an asset on the ice and needed to get the surgery done soon so he could start rehabbing.

People here love to blame the medical staff when we as internet message board posters never know much about the medical situations of players.

Get well soon Nick! He must have been dealing with it for a while, which would explain his lack of point production lately.

 

[hockeydude1]

Huge blow for us. But explains why he slowed down in production. Better to have surgery now so he will be ready for next season.

well said... people actually think the medical staff r letting players play injured while putting themselves at a huge risk to worsen it... its very comical... it's similar to why didn't we just sign this player or that playsr

 

[Bure1096]

See Sean Bergenheim and how that situation was handled. I absolutely do not trust this staff.

 

[Vilam]

Feel better soon Nick, we need you back kicking *** next season!

People get frustrated because the panthers are a tight lipped organization. They've always been that way. Keeping absolutely everything in house. It used to bother me but I got used to it a long time ago. I Can understand some people's frustration with it though. It's really tough to get any news on this team and when they do, the source is usually ridiculed.

They don't have a spotless record. That's for sure. you don't have to be an insider to see that.

 

[Drugs Delaney]

Al least that's something.

 

[StrangeVision]

Just signed a player for six years? Can't tie his own skates? Keep him in the line-up!

They were testing his character. He scored a 96/100 because he didn't battle through enough games.

 

[spacemanatee]

called it.

 

[Jacob Roberts]

The refs, the league, even our own medical staff...... Everyone is against the Panthers

Have a full recovery Nick, We need you back 100% for next year

 

[JP Mick]

Yeah whatever Tallon, just making up lies to cover for your crackpot untrained medical staff. I can see through the smoke and mirrors.... can't fool me!

The negative opinion is not based on a single event like Bjugstad. You've been around enough years and should remember that it's based on a history of blunders. I believe it will be fixed just like many other things are being fixed, because the current owners want to run a first class operation.

No, I disagree. People here think the Doctors are committing malpractice. It's nuts.

 

[Juggernaut27]

This sucks. Hope he recovers well in the off season.

Certainly explains his play of late.
