Bruins injury thread III

[Dupell6]

I'm not sure if it's just me but ever since Whitesides left injuries have been an issue

 

[veganbruin]

This isn’t some freak coincidence at this point
Chara
Carlo
McAvoy
Miller
Krug
Moore
Gryzlyck
Vaakanainen

Have all missed time this year and some of them significant. Something is wrong.

I was thinking the same thing even before Chara went down.

All you can do now is just shake your head.

 

[Bruinaura]

Please fire the trainer, conditioning coach, medical professional that overseas the defense. Maybe they are eating poorly, or training wrong.

The trainer didn't elbow Vaakaneinen in the head, or give Charlie a concussion, though...

Do you think it is the rehab that's the problem? I ask because I have a hard time understanding that whether being in better shape would prevent the injuries that Chara, McAvoy and Vaakaneinen, to name three, sustained.

Kevan Millar is a hand injury from a puck (I believe) which is another that has nothing to do with conditioning. Carlo sounds like concussion as well but I don't think anyone saw when that happened. Maybe they are taking concussions a bit more seriously as well?

This is freak coincidence. How isn’t it? Maybe it’s the water in Boston.

I mean you can’t blame them for the concussions, but strength and conditioning plays a huge part in staying healthy (not just illness) for these players. Training the wrong way can cause serious disadvantages.

So which of the current injuries are attributable to poor training?

Does anyone know the exact injuries?

 

[Gee Wally]

We got concussions, knee (ligament?) and a broken hand.
I have no clue what diet or fitness can do for them.

Drink milk for strong bones. Eat spinach for strength.

 

[veganbruin]

I’m going to walk back my insanity here a little bit. As it comes with being a reactionary Bruins fan.

I do think that the way the players are training could have something to do with the recent increase in injury frequency(2-3 seasons).

I do not however know which injuries specifically would be related to this, and what specific things they could be doing wrong to make them injury prone.

Call it a conspiracy theory at this point.

 

[Ladyfan]

This is nuts

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

Yea, these injuries aren't really the result of poor strength and conditioning. It's not like they're out there pulling muscles and tearing hamstrings. It's ridiculously bad luck at this point

 

[Wiggleboom]

I wonder if a team's entire top 6 D have ever all been injured at once before?! Would just take an injury to Krug now...

I think Krug did his time already.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Last game I noticed Moore go down and yell. It caught my attention. I watched him get up slowly and skate to the bench. I was watching the Lanche feed so no news at all, maybe their audio on ice is better.

 

[Son of Donegal]

All I know is that Chara has the diet of a manatee and Charlie McAvoy has a full-time nutritionist. I think diet is taken very seriously by most NHLrs at this stage.

An interesting idea is - hire Adam Oates. He is a skills consultant now and teaches many things include how to avoid getting injured. It's probably not a conditioning issue - but it could be a "play smarter" issue.

I blame the spate off Bruin injuries the last two years to the change of sock colours from gold to black in 2017.

I think I read something this week that Adam Oates just took a job with an NHL team

OK that’s what I thought just couldn’t find it. Thanks @OV
