News Article: CONFIRMED: No suspension for PK Subban

Microfracture and ligament damage. Yet, player 61 played most the game afterwards and was throwing punches at the end of the game. Something doesn't add up. Stop crying and move on to game 2.

I've never heard of a microfracture before. I know it's a surgical technique though.

Is there a doctor in the house?

Yea microfracture is a surgical technique. It's not even an actual term to describe the severity of a fracture.

Bryan Murray must love whine cause he's continuing the whine fest and saying PK "threatened" Stone before the incident.

Vancouver of the East. Non stop whining. Wow.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Yea microfracture is a surgical technique. It's not even an official way to describe the severity of a fracture.

Microfracture means there was no "full" fracture. It means a bone was partially fractured. It's not a "surgical technique".

 

[Bullsmith]

To be honest in the eyes of a lot of people it WAS another Mike Ribeiro.

Kypreos and others can make all the excuses for Stone they want, that was embellishment clear as day, I've seen guys get hit harder on the wrist and they reacted, but none even close to the "performance" Stone made during last nights game. The slash is an embarrassment to the league in the first place, it was a cheap shot there's no denying it, PK was an idiot for doing it. That being said, the embellishment made it even more embarrassing.

I'll never stop being embarrassed over what Ribs did back in the day and whether or not Sens fans do over Stone, people aren't going to forget that performance anytime soon.

How can it be embellishment if he has a fracture in his wrist?

How does a microfracture in your wrist make you lie on your back and writhe on the ice? It's perfectly possible to be injured and to also embellish.

Good God, the over-reaction is so annoying.

Couple of things:

1 "Mark Stone has no history..."

So what? There has to be a first time for anyone with a history.

That card should have no currency. Every situation should be examined through a filter
of what actually happened, and logic.

And popping off about being targeted is dumb and illogical.

2 you would think this slash was actually a big deal.

It was a love tap compared to Michael Thelven of the Bs on Stephane Richer years ago.

The same organization that announced it would undertake its own "forensic" investigation into
Matt Cooke's hit on Karlsson (laughable) is at it again, with first degree whining.

The general boards are a legit treat right now.

I know what they are trying to infer when they say microfracture. But in medicine, it is most often used to describe a surgical technique to repair cartilage.

Going to be so great when PK scores a one timer on a PP he draws tomorrow night.

I had an ankle micro fracture a few years ago and trust me when i tell you that despite copious amounts of painkillers and anti-inflammatories, it still hurt so much that i couldnt put any weight on it, even less start kicking people during a post-game scrap.

You're confusing microfracture with microfracture surgery.

See first vs second definitions. Obviously it's the first one that applies in this context: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/microfracture

It's been a long time since the last time I've seen an organization giving up full details of a player's injury, let alone in the playoffs.

... I know. What I'm saying is microfracture generally isn't used as a term on its own.
But this doesn't matter haha more important issues to discuss...

I hope none of this anger is taken out on Price. :\

 

[GoodKiwi]

... I know. What I'm saying is microfracture generally isn't used as a term on its own.

Yes, because microfracture knee surgeries are very common in basketball and football. It's how most people come to know the term.

Gamesmanship, they're doing everything in their power to pronounce the severity of the injury to try to get Subban suspended.

I don't really blame them, I'd probably want the Habs to try the same if the shoe was on the other foot.

 

[FuzzyWuzzy]

... I know. What I'm saying is microfracture generally isn't used as a term on its own.

I beg to differ. Went for a scan of my ankle at a downtown med office and the seemingly very competent grey-haired doctor used the term "micro fracture" to describe my injury.

It's a different strategy from the usual non-specifics. Clearly a propaganda move.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Kind of a dick move by Subban to say this...

 

[RussCourtnallsGhost]

So, basically, micro means that it's so small that you can't even see it, correct? Almost like it's not there at all... ALMOST. Kidding! ... I think.

Mark Stone played 2:01 of the final 4:13 of Game 1

Sounds like Ottawa is trying to milk this for all it's worth, hoping to keep the attention from Hammond getting lit up and praying for a Subban suspension.

 

[RussCourtnallsGhost]

I'm glad the Habs are being jerks for once, I'm sick of us being the victim all the time. No mercy!

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

He certainly had a problem with it last night...
