Gonna signalboost Keslerburrows's post here:

Posted this in the GDT as well. This guy is as reliable as it comes regarding diagnosis of athlete injuries based on video.

 

[PG Canuck]

Hope Pettersson is back and shows Tavares and Matthews who is daddy.

 

[DL44]

Well... we should have a goaltending advantage... so that’s something.

 

[pettersson]

Is Pettersson actually getting an MRI done? .
Where? Wouldn't they send him back?

 

[Hemty]

who cares anymore

Like Mr. Canucklehead was saying in the last PGT, if they believed it was season ending/extremely serious they likely would have just flown him back to Vancouver.

Getting it done in Toronto is both convenient, and hopeful that it may not be as bad.

 

[Jrtu]

Without Pettersson, might as well forfeit the game already.

 

[ErrantShepherd]

Yeah... its gonna be ugly considering at least half of our offence is generated through Pettersson.

I mean, we still have Boeser and Horvat for high end guys but both don't look 100% either?

This is like the one game I wanted Petey to play in f***

 

[Bougieman]

I can't even sleep I'm so stressed about the possible dire implications on this kid's career

His knee.

 

[pettersson]

His knee.

You know what I meant

 

[polarbearcub]

Even if he’s fine .. he’s probably extremely sore this morning. Knees aren’t supposed to bend that way

 

[Dana Murzyn]

It was while watching the Ottawa game that I spent a small fortune on tickets to this game. That’s my sad little story.

 

[canuckfan75]

Another example of the Canuck Curse. ... Why can we not have nice things

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

You know what I meant

I slay me.

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

We do have a nice things for once..he will be back..this kid hates not being on the ice..

 

[Hit the post]

Actually whenever you see a team’s best player go down , it’s not unheard of the rest of the team elevating their play to compensate. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Canucks win THIS game fairly easy. Plus it’s hardly like the Leafs are setting the world on fire themselves.

Depends on how much swelling he has. Teams generally have to wait until swelling goes down before they get an mri done.

Kindly provide us with some medical evidence that waiting for the swelling to go down before doing an MRI is a thing.

 

[member 290103]

Lots of medical experts on the boards and posters with an innate ability to specifically diagnose an injury by way of game tape and travel patterns.

Hilarious.

 

[DL44]

One of those things that you commonly hear repeated...
Initial scans were inconclusive due to swelling... wait for the acute swelling to subside..
Makes logical sense, but I wonder if its actually supported.

That’s not even close to medical evidence. The medical profession is now finding that arthroscopy for osteoarthritis is not very helpful-sham arthroscopy has similar “benefits”. Similarily, stents are proving to be far less helpful than originally thought.

I was just posting yesterday in the Montreal GDT how odd it was for the Canucks to be playing in Montreal and Toronto without a slew of injuries..?.

Its definitely depressing as a Canucks fan that we cannot have our star player play on the biggest stage (In TO on HNIC coast to coast)...

Leafs lost again last night,I don't think that they are playing particularly well....Canucks are 3-2 on this road trip..They didnt play well in NJ,or in Montreal last night...They usually respond with a good effort after a poor one...So we will see.
