Probably nothing broken.
That's good news if there is no break, that would rule out a rest of the season 3-4 months type of injury. At least I hope that's the case.
This whole things just reeks of this coaching staff thinking that they can outsmart everyone and are giggling behind the scenes. Unfortunately, they're a bunch of fools that is being laughed at and are too stupid to notice since there is no media coverage to second guess their dumbass roster decisions.
Pelech is here to sit on his ass. Strait will now be playing top-4 minutes. He will be playing on his off side as well - poor CdH will have to deal with this scrub. Pulock will now be playing on his off side in the AHL - the whole handedness excuse being shown as a farce once again on multiple levels of the organization.
This team just can never do the simple and logical thing. Idiots.

A shredded shoulder like a torn labrum usually is a 6 month process from surgery to rehab. Not that it is that type of injury.
I'll assume the worst and hope for the best at this point.
I'm currently recovering from a shoulder/collarbone injury myself. Collided hard, shoulder first in the boards and my whole upper-body compressed like an accordion - VERY similar to what happend to Johnny.
Nothing broken but sprained pretty good. Been out of action going on 4 weeks now and can't see myself getting back to 100% for another 2-4 weeks minimum. And that's with physio treatment twice a week.
So get ready to see 37 in Johnnys spot till middle/end of February boys.
Looks like Cappy won't have any trouble sticking to his 2016 new years resolution of playing his favorite dman more. Damn it.
Boychuk will also have the best doctors taking care of him, while getting treatment daily. He will likely recover faster than the average person. Although we won't know anything for a couple more days.
The best case scenario is that one of the kids come up and force Capuano and Snows hand. Force there way into the lineup. If one of the kids can come in and play like a good middle pairing defenseman this team has a chance to make a deep run. This could be the end of Straits days.
None of the kids are being given a chance at all so it's a moot point hoping that they force anyone's hand. Get ready for a steady diet of Strait on his off side for 20+ minutes a game.
We will see. I expect Pelech to play tomorrow at the tail end of a back to back. If Pelech steps up I think he could earn a spot in the top 6, much like Hamonic did a few years ago.
Where exactly is Pelech going to win a spot? I don't think he's every played on his off side and the LD is pretty much set in stone with Leddy, CdH, and Hickey.

LMAO. Except you are you, some guy, and Johnny Boychuk is in incredibly great shape, is tough as nails, will have world-class doctors, and the best rehab money can buy. Anything that will take you 4 weeks will probably take him less than 2. Not trying to be insulting, but c'mon dude.
That's incredibly ignorant. We don't know what the diagnosis is but the injury and grade dictate the treatment and recovery protocol.
If it is a rotator cuff tear and labrum tear, degree of damage dictates treatment. For a large (5cm) full thickness supraspinitis and infraspinitis tear surgery is the normal protocol.
Recovery begins the week following surgery but dependent on the size of the injury, treatment is prescribed. The larger the tear, the more conservative the treatment from the beginning. It is a slow and progressive set of motion exercises while healing ensues. Over time, treatment increases range of motion and flexibility, then strength building. But we are still speculating as to the extent of the damage.

That's the whole reason why they called him up instead of Pulock or Mayfield. Now Crappy can keep riding his boyfriend Strait all the way into the playoffs and hide behind his ******** "handedness" argument while doing so.
"I called up Pelech because Thompson said he was deserving". **** you, Jack, we all know why you called him up instead of the other two.
Strait and Pelech are both lefties, so handedness can't be used as an argument here.
