Injury Report: Freddy

[Mikeyg]

Matthews had a wrist injury too

What are you even talking about? Is that a shot at me or a poor attempt at humour?

 

[ponder]

He took a pretty good kick to the head there, hopefully not concussed. With him leaving the ice and not coming back, seems more likely that he IS concussed, though :/

Don't assume you know anything obvious. Tons of peeps on here had the Mattews injury all figured out until the truth came out. Should be obvious what I meant.

 

[Schenn]

Fingers crossed

Mike Babcock is the last person I'd expect to know/give a proper timeline on for an injured player.

Umm I don’t know who you’re talking to on here, but you are acting like a clown. Matthews was lacking power, it was clearly a lower body and guess what... it was.

Then today andy gets a skate to the CHIN, stands up with perfect balance and capacity and proceeds to palpate and work his CHIN and then you show up on here guns ablaze saying “No that cant POSSIBLY make sense”

I mean dude......

Yes that is very true but if it was serious he might have been more cryptic

Even if he's fine, I hope they give him a few games off to cut down on his usage and nurse some of those nagging minor injuries all guys have.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Hope he's okay, but would prefer to be cautious, okay with giving Pickard and Sparks a game each. Maybe if they have good games they can improve their trade value for the end of the month. Both of them are killing it in the AHL this year.

Mathews was concussed said it himself and I took a lot of heat on here for stating he was concussed. Freddy head was twisted as well as the skate to the head. He left the game under the concussion protocol and just an FYI your jaw is a major point in concussions symptoms.

 

[diceman934]

Rielly reinjured his left shoulder tonight but played through it. Let’s hope it is not ongoing.

Though if he's ok then I'm not sure they have the room to call up either guy to play a few games. They are roster juggling as it is. Could easily be wrong though.

It'd be nice to give him a bit of a break, but I think the only way to do that if he isn't hurt enough to be on the IR is letting McBackup play some games.

Yeah we're right against the roster limit, we actually have to make a move once Soshnikov comes off his conditioning stint and joins the active roster. Can't send Kapanen down to the AHL, he's here the rest of the year IMO. Babcock loves Polak for some stupid reason.

Leivo or Soshnikov trade or waiving seems in order.

Ideally, they’ll trade someone to make room. However if they can’t, they will likely will send Kapanen or Dermot back to the Marlins until a deal can be made.

The concussion had nothing to do with the FIRST INJURY which your boy up there was referring too. He had a back injury before the concussion even happened. My god even the people who are doing the spinning don't have the correct details of the story Brutal post.

 

[deletethis]

Perry has a bit of a rep as a dirt bag. Isn't it strange how these are the guys who always seem to be involved when a "freak" accident like a flying skate boot to the head happens?

Brutal post is yours as no where was his first injury mention but the fact that everyone said he hurt his hand etc when he suffered a concussion was the injured referred to.

At least read and understand what is being discussed before posting. You failed to address your claim that Andersen did not suffer a head injury as seen by his jaw when he was hit on the side of his head. Movement of your jaw on a hit to the head is a major cause of concussions and the reason why players wear mouth guards.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

IF Freddie can play tomorrow he has to play, this is a critical home stand for a team that is battling for home ice.

I would be fine with giving him Ottawa off, because it's Ottawa and they are awful and seem to have quit, but if he can go he needs to go against Nashville and Tampa

GD this response is dramatic, lol.

I agree it looked like he took one in the jaw, but that can still cause a concussion.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

hopefully its nothing too serious. That being said, maybe resting him for a week or two isn't the worst thing, as he's going to play a lot for us down the stretch

Lets see what Sparks/Pickard can do in the big leagues

+This team is battling for home ice, and this is a critical home stand, if Freddie can go we need him, particularly against Nashville and Tampa, maybe you can get away with giving him Ottawa and Columbus off but if he can go, he needs to go VS Nashville and Tampa.

 

[Rogie]

Didn't look too bad on the slo mo but then again, the leg's coming up like that and the skate weighs quite a bit; it doesn't take much speed to create enough force to do damage in this situation.

Hope it was just a good jolt and that's all.

 

[BlueForever75]

i'm sure he'll be fine, didn't look too bad.

Was at the game last night sitting in the 300's 14 rows up. When that skate made contact with his head you could hear it from up there. It definitely didn't look as serious on replays I saw later, but it definitely was a heavy blow to the head.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him out for 2-3 games.

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

Have we ever had a goalie get run as much as Fredrik?

Besides Reimer and sometimes Bernier you mean?

 

[Brock Radunske]

I don't understand why they can't make a goalie helmet with more protection against concussions. They seem to barely get clipped and their bell gets rung.
You know who never had concussions and spent most of his career sprawling on the ice?
This guy

Maybe we need to bring back those buckets.

 

[Bluelines]

Dr Blue (not a Dr) in session ... in my professional opinion he did not get a severe concussion but as our Dr's like to say, he got his bell rung.

Maybe I'm old school and maybe this is an old wives tale but I've always been told the way you knock someone out is to make their jaw move out of socket. Freddy was moving his jaw around like he got a good jolt, makes me think it was a mild concussion. Where he skated off the ice with no wobble in his legs leads me further to believe its not serious.
