Post-Game Talk: GAME #44: Canucks 0 @ Canadiens 2 | Pettersson MRI tomorrow

[m9]

Weird EP injury, but really reminded me of Sony Michel's injury from the Patriots early this NFL season where it looked bad but there was no structural damage. Ended up only missing a couple weeks.

Would guess something similar for EP, hyperextension and a couple weeks off.

Thanks Doc, I feel much better now....especially with all those big words you used.

No problem, son.

I'm an ER physician, not an orthopedic surgeon, but still you can be optimistic IMO.

 

[ErrantShepherd]

So why is TG saying he won’t play Saturday. It’s 2 days away. Something must be up.

Maybe is a sprain/strained ligament? Those suck, have had a few of those.

Iirc I walked ok with a brace, but it messed up physical activity for me for a while until after a good couple of weeks of Physio.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Green seems optimistic.

Tore my meniscus last year (getting up from kneeling to tie my son’s skates - planted and pivoted and CRUNCH). 1) I knew right away something was badly wrong, and 2) the limp was noticeable right away, and became very bad in the following days.

So your n of one is definitive....guess we don’t need medical schools.

 

[Michoulicious]

Green seems optimistic.

Told ya

Also, didn't Jumbo Joe play with a torn ACL and MCL in the playoffs a couple years ago? It was good to see Elias get off the ice on his own but I'm afraid it may not be indicative of anything either way.

 

[vanarchy]

How hilarious would it be if Sutter was named C? I know it's a bit of a random comment but it just occurred to me after he was basically the voice of the Canucks all night in interviews etc.

And by "hilarious" I mean not in any way hilarious and incredibly moronic.

 

[mathonwy]

If you have a torn ligament/meniscus from an acute trauma in your knee, the hemarthrosis will for sure induce a severe limp in the next hour or so.

No way the guy would stay with the team if it was the case. Mild sprain it is.

Everyone, just relax.

NO YOU

 

[valkynax]

Actually, some Canucks fans were calling for a 30 games suspension

lol ah im on the wrong end of the spectrum

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Just sharing my personal experience, pig, as it is a discussion board after all. Not saying he does or doesn’t have one.

An acutely torn ACL? Impossible. Just for the blood to clear the articulation it is going to take a good week minimum...

 

[EpochLink]

Don't put words in my mouth. The main selling point for signing those guys was to provide insulation and protection for the young guys to play their games. Doesn't that include standing up for them? Also if you want to have a good playoff run... you kinda need your best player? Also its quite noticeable that without Pettersson they look/play like a different team. In a regular season game Pettersson is already getting targeted what do you think will happen in the playoffs?

I don't expect weebs to understand.

You haven't been on this boards long enough..

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Told ya

I'm surprised Greener didn't mention the big two points on the line

 

[pgj98m3]

Great....I’ve been assessing people and reviewing charts for more than thirty years...my pessimism is well earned.

 

[VIPettersson]

You haven't been on this boards long enough..

lol people like you are why guys like Beagle and Sutter get overpaid.

 

[Ben White]

Lol and right on cue, there’s Erik Gudbranson making more excuses for not standing up for young players.

“I definitely considered it”

This is what should’ve happened:
1. Kotka’s thinking about how badly he wants to interfere with and drag EP down to the ice.
2. Kotka reminds himself that would lead to him having to fight Gudbranson.
3. A voice from the back of Kotka’s head reminds him of the brawls after the Matheson incident.
4. In the last second Kotka hesitates and pulls his hand away from EP’s shirt.
5. EP doesn’t get injured.
6. EP scores his 8th game winner of the season.

This is what happened:
1. Kotka’s thinking about how badly he wants to interfere with and drag EP down to the ice.
2. Kotka thinks: ”And who’s gonna stop me ”

I concur. I was worried it was a torn michoulicious.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Anyone who has followed the Comets season knows one thing for sure. No deterrent means no deterrent.

 

[Michoulicious]

NO YOU

But I'm relaxed!

 

[SillyRabbit]

Some injuries can’t be prevented, but anyone who thinks that having multiple mean/tough players who other players are afraid of wouldn’t help protect Pettersson is straight up delusional.

Pettersson is the entire franchise, fielding a few players who inspire fear into other players and serve as a deterrent from people messing with him is the absolute minimum they can do.

 

[EpochLink]

It's Goldobin time on Saturday!

C’mon man...Green is a coach, not a trainer or a physician.
