Well, at least it's not a concussion.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Pretty much the season..that was a total cheap shot by Getzlaf....

 

[Ryp37]

That's a shitty injury and yeah basically the end of his season. Weak.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Coincidence..?

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

That sucks, Jake was having a good season.

 

[ChilliBilly]

What bullshit. These sort of retaliatory shots for cleans hits should result in suspensions ....

 

[ChilliBilly]

Oh and its not a broken rib. It's a cracked rib. I've had both, and you don't come back in a month from a broken rib. When I broke a rib playing hockey I couldn't sleep in a bed for 6 weeks, and 6 months before i could play hockey.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

That's pretty much it for the season. Hard to stay in game shape when you get a stabbing pains if you have to breath hard.

That's bad news but the silver lining might be with the injuries to Jake, Edler and Tanev we get to see what some of the kids can do. Now we don't have to worry about Benning buying to sneak into the playoffs. This team has some nice pieces but we need a lot more talent to compete with the true elite teams and a high pick will help.

f*** Getzlaf

 

[lawrence]

ureal he was able to take out 2 of our players in one game. f*** Getzlaf.

 

[EpochLink]

f*** Getzlaf.

Country ass ******

 

[Nucker101]

Getzlaf went full Hanzal on us

 

[Hit the post]

Getzlaf went full Hanzal on us

That pretty much ended our season right there (Hanzel’s three strikes)

That was premeditated as eff.

I'm not a fan of Jake but I'm a fan of Ryan so I'm guessing that Jake must have been running his mouth during the game and Ryan decided to teach the youngster a little lesson.

I'm guessing that this beef goes back to Jake's rookie year. I don't recall anything specific between Jake and Ryan but I do remember Jared almost throwing down with Ryan (good thing he didn't).

Unpopular opinion: This is exactly the type of wake up call Jake needed.

A respected HHOF veteran player who has achieved more in his pinky finger than Jake in his entire NHL career purposefully taking him out but in a non career threatening way.

IMO, Jake can either feel sorry for himself, or Jake can rise the challenge and be a better hockey player.

Jake's not a good hockey player right now. Not by a long shot.

I fully support your right to your opinion. I just think your opinion here stinks.

Personal opinion: This kind of post makes you go on a lot of ppl’s ignored list

Jake's probably telling all his friends that Ryan Getzlaf broke his rib.

I wish I was able to tell that story. That story is cool.

Congratulations on one of the stupidest posts i've had the privilege to read on these boards. A good message to a player struggling is a stint in the press box or a benching. Not a cracked rib. You're saying you're fine with our players being injured as long as its by a player that you like, because i'm sure Virtanen was just thinking yeah you know what, I could do with a month long injury that ends my season to really give me the kick I need to turn it around!

f*** outta here.

Super dirty hit !!

Props to Guddy for stepping up

Lmao. Everyone knows Getzlaf was salty that Perry got trucked and owned.

These dinosaurs in Anaheim really need to hang them up

**** outta here.

I'm glad I riled you up enough to post.

This wasn't Perry or Kesler. This was Getzlaf and Getzlaf is a heck of a hockey player and one that not just I "like".

Context matters bud.

This wasn't Matheson throwing down Petey in a fit of anger. This was because of something else.

Hockey is kind of a violent sport dontcha know.

A definite possibility.

Anaheim just being Anaheim?

Why was Jake let back into a mean nothing game with a cracked rib
