Oh I agree, but all the criticisms of Pirri, namely that he scores once a month and is useless when he's not scoring, are Lettieri to a tee.

True, but unless he's Wolverine, bones don't heal that fast.
I don't trust this organization to let him heal properly though after they tried to rush Shatty back for no reason what so ever last year before his knee told them to f*** off.

Eh. I once broke my thumb just a few years younger than Buchnevich, and was told it would be 4 weeks, but it was healed 2 weeks later. It depends on the person. (Don't think that would be the case today, 15 years later)

It stinks HOWEVER to keep it positive here. they have the bye week in December and a very light schedule first half of next month. So we're looking at 14-15 games at worst.
Sup Logan?
But in all seriousness, you also weren't a guy who played a contact sport professionally.

That sucks. Buchnevich looking like he just turned a corner. The one thing he'll be able to do anyway is be able to ride the bike and skate to stay in good shape.

He'd be able to do more than just bike and skate. Pretty much all strength related activities will be available. Core, endurance, etc.

I said 2 weeks, not 2 seconds!
It did happen playing hockey though... but no, it wasn't professionally. It wasn't even ice! Roller hockey was so much fun. Wish there was a good place around here to still do it.

Can you explain what you're hinting at here? I've never cheered for a injury to a player.

Actually he did.
You never want to see an injury. As much as I have been hard on Buch, the kid really started to play fantastic. Speedy recovery, Pavel!

I'm surprised Chytil hasnt stepped up yet,everyone is passing him and he isnt doing much about it. He probably needs to go to Hartford.

Happened during a hit along the far boards in the offensive zone. Wasn't a bad hit, he just made awkward contacts with the boards.
not that there is ever a good time for this but really sucks that he seemed to be putting it together lately

The thing is, the return from any sort of significant injury (a thumb and 4-6 weeks IS significant) is seldom marked by anything like a complete return to form for weeks thereafter (see Zibanejad, Nash, etc.). You combine that with a penchant already there with the player for avoiding the hard places and rough stuff, and the fact that "Buch 2.0" was only in existence for 2-3 games... really have to wonder whether it's not more like late January before we can expect to see him NOT playing like he got punished somehow for playing the way the coaching staff demanded. I do think this could be a fairly serious setback for him and for the team's forward progress.
Very doubtful. I broke my ring finger playing hockey in February, splint didn't come off for 6 weeks. Not all broken fingers are equal of course, but I would imagine the thumb, being a thicker bone, would take just as long if not longer.
Not to mention the months of phusical therapy to get up to strength after it being immobilized for a month and a half.
I have broken all of my fingers except my left thumb, some multiple times. It was from playing goalie in soccer where you'd regularly get stepped on, bumped into in scrums, and block really hard shots from a close distance.
The regular digits, you would literally just tape them to one or both of the finger next to them. The other fingers served as a splint. Even if it was a moderate break and you needed a splint outside the games, you'd still just do the tape method and hope that you didn't have to block any rockets.
However, when I broke the thumb, it needed a cast, and I was not able to play keeper for 4 or 5 weeks (I don't remember exactly) until the cast came off. The break was at the base joint and also carried a dislocation--my own defender kicked me in practice--and they said that any jostling or hard flexing could exacerbate the break and potentially even lead to another dislocation within the first week as everything was so swollen. So, my experience, broken thumbs suck, and can require a legit cast that makes it so you can't really do anything.
Also important to remember it's hockey, and grip is obviously essential. I could play with some pretty gnarly breaks because I didn't really need to grip. Different sport. If I had those breaks in hockey, there's no way. I couldn't grip a stick. Some of them, even though I ably played soccer goalie, I couldn't even bend for a few weeks.

Well, it definitely happened that way with me. The break was on the short portion above the knuckle. When I broke my pinky, which was definitely a worse break, it took 6 weeks.
