I really hope they don't **** this up. My confidence in the Flyers medical staff wanes already. When they say 3.5 months for an injury typically requiring 6 months minimum in most other sports, well, now I am concerned for Ghost.
Maybe he only needed ACL augmentation surgery. But the recommended recovery time for this is also minimum 6 months.
I would much rather Ghost miss the season and return to full training this summer than return too soon. Sure he misses development time, but at least his knee is given the appropriate amount of time to regain strength & stability.
Maybe he's a freak of nature and has wolverine somewhere up in his bloodline.
