Injury Report: Community Injury Thread

[Al Smith]

One the one hand I feel sorry for Riikola, the way he's been treated by this organization. OTOH, he gets paid a million bucks to sit around and do nothing, so he doesn't need anyone's pity. He's got the easiest job in the NHL.

Able to expertly rank nachos from all venues in the Mass Mutual East Division.

 

[CrosbyMalkin]

Ugh, week to week for Math? Sounds like a broken cheek or orbital?? Argh.

That is what I think also. Is that something that can be played with wearing a proper type of helmet? Because we know it won't be healed in 2 weeks when the playoffs start. I was really hoping we could go in with our full lineup. Our team has been on another level ever since these 3 pairings have been formed.

A buddy of mine broke his orbital 2 weeks before an MMA match and he was out for 4-5 weeks post surgery to fix it. Granted, I hope Matheson isn't going to be eating straight rights in a game, so hopefully he's not out that long.

I honestly don't know what's worse-- a broken orbital/cheek or a broken jaw.

I missed that game. Did he get hit with the puck or punched in the face?

Jarry cleared the puck directly into his face.

Matheson got struck in the face (cheek?) by the puck in a clearing attempt by Jarry.
Jarry got punched in the facemask by Raffl (no call) as Raffl skated across the crease in puck pursuit.

Thanks. That all sounds on brand for all franchises and players involved.

Pretty funny that Matheson looks more likley to return as week to week than Rodrigues as day to day.

TBF you can cover Erod’s absence a lot more easily than Matheson’s, so they’ll probably use the extra few weeks to see if they can rest his foot a bit. No sense drugging the dude up just to skate in practices just yet.

Imagine saying this in January after the Flyers games lol.

I won't be shocked to see Matheson in the line up by game-1 with an helmet cage.

I wouldn't either, but I'm assuming he has a fractured orbital bone instead of a jaw-- especially because it'll be close to the 3 weeks or so doctors recommend before resuming regular activity when playoffs start.

 

[Joejosh999]

Now Jarry UBI? Did he not take a shot off the mask last night? Hope no concussion

I didn’t see anything like that. Hopefully it’s just something minor or an excuse to rest him before the playoffs.

Probably celebrated the win a little too hard...with the team's blessing and intent to hold him out regardless.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Both our goalies hurt going into the playoffs. That's such a Penguins thing to happen. Do we have another Matt Murray in the minors we can call up to be the starter?

 

[ncm7772]

Oh, just lovely. Looks like they’ll need to score 8 again tomorrow.

 

[Ryder71]

This is gonna force them to play a very structured game I believe. They need to insulate whoever gets between the pipes. They definitely could use home ice.

 

[Icarium]

Sully remembered that goalie injuries were part of the formula for Cup wins in 2016 and 2017, so he gave Jarry a break and called it an injury, the cheater.
Anyway, he apparently claimed that both Jarry and CdS will be back for the start of the playoffs, so we can step back from the ledge for now.

 

[MarioBros83]

Jarry did get hit by a puck at least two times last night. They weren't soft shots either, you could clearly hear the bang.

 

[Giskard]

It seems to be just precautionary, so tomorrow will be Legacè/Larmi time!

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

No Tanev tomorrow.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

That's unusually forward of Sully to acknowledge that they could possibly be back at any one time
