Injury Report: Canucks' Infirmary: The Walking Dead Edition

[PG Canuck]

I still have a disgusting feeling it's a capcussion. He hasn't played since he got ejected against Toronto some weeks back, and no one, anywhere, seems to have any information on what is the specific injury, or when he might be back, or anything really.

It's his back, that is hurt.

 

[Cogburn]

Yes, yes, his back, but by this stage, we usually have some kind of evidence of when or what happened, or at least conjecturing as it being a hyper extension or a slipped disc or some other horrible but specific injury.

I know my position is incredibly dubious, but it's just a feeling I have.

Cap....cussion...?

There's no cap in the post season...or roster limits....

That's what I was thinking.

Cap doesn't apply in the playoffs. Last we heard it was his back that was keeping him out.

Though you have to wonder if the coach will actually scratch Dorsett for Kassian if he's healthy to play?

Is Dorsett really the guy out now? He has been good lately and in this first Calgary game he did well too.

True, he did good in that game. But Kassian is still the better player and it makes for a stronger lineup overall.

We'll probably need every edge we can get if we continue to see coaching like this.

Yes Kassian is much needed, preferably with the Sedins. But Kenins could sit. How Burrows slots in without breaking up working lines is up for discussion then.

Kenins comes out. Dorsett replaces him on Horvat's line. Kassian then slots in besides Richarson. That is if Kassian is ever healthy again this season...

As stated no cap in the playoffs.

Personal experience...After numerous X-rays, MRIs etc this past August we finally saw on the MRI the offending bulged disc. After about a decade of looking and it was during the worst episode I've ever had (complete numbness down the leg accompanied with shooting pain). There is likely some sort of spur in the area they can't see that when the disc bulged it just made everything really bad. Took nearly 4 months of physical therapy 3 times a week to get my feeling, strength and balance back and it still isn't perfect to say the least. My skating is just atrocious right now.

That's brutal, Tantalum! Glad you are able to get through that.

 

[Clearthepuck]

conspiracy: where is Kassian? Zero answers from the canucks?
Conspiracy

 

[vcanuck]

I wish Bieksa and Kassian were on the ice for that brawl

 

[SopelFan*]

can bieksa even fight with his hand?

 

[Samzilla]

except we've seen how much dorsett drags down horvat's line. hopefully kassian comes back, and willie d can find a better way to make it work.

 

[LeftCoast]

I hope Kassian is healthy soon. This series could use some Kassian.

 

[BlackAces]

Talked to someone in the canucks Org last night. They couldn't officially tell me anything about Kassian, but they said the skate didn't go well and he hasn't been on the ice since. Said it's very unlikely he plays this season.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Series wouldnt be close with kassian in the lineup

Unfortunate, if true. I believe you though. Since Kassian skated before the series started, we haven't heard a peep. Obviously, it went terribly.

 

[DFAC]

Wouldn't be surprised if Kassian was told to shut it down for the rest of the year...hope he makes a full recovery. Back injuries are the absolute ****ing worst

 

[me2]

They could put Kassian on LTIR next year at the current rate, would free up some of the cap cluster****.

 

[ugghhh]

Saw Kassian downtown tonight, and I'm guessing the rest of the team is in Calgary already. Probably means he isn't close to returning.

DAMMIT. Really wanted Kassian banging heads this series. Preferably Ferland's and Engelland's.

 

[David71]

damn that sucks kassian isnt healthy to play in this series. hope he recovers well.

 

[StIllmatic]

That quite unfortunant. I was looking forward to seeing the new Kass in the playoffs.
