Injury Report: Greene out 6-12 weeks, possibly season

[Reclamation Project]

****.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Does Komisarek have a year left on his deal? He may not be a bad option...

One more year following this season. Wouldn't be an absolutely horrible idea.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

I know Greene and Hickey play different styles, but the loss of Hickey hurts worse now to me, I think Muzzin and Bodnarchuck will do decent filling in, maybe we get to see some Andrew Campbell this year?

One more year following this season. Wouldn't be an absolutely horrible idea.

For next year's cap it would be. New deals due to Slava and Martinez as well.

 

[Ron*]

Bad news.

Oh well, we were pretty much injury free during last season's playoffs, you knew it had to catch up to us.

Meanwhile, Greene took some awful penalties on Saturday. Maybe his back was affecting his play as early as the 1st period.

You're right. I forgot they'd both need raises.

We'll be seeing ALL the defensemen this year.

 

[The Butcher]

Ouch. Greene means alot to this team. Any word on what is the problem? Any chance at a return for the playoffs?

 

[RonSwanson*]

Jordan Leopold maybe? His contract is up in June. Might not cost too much.

Then again since it's now known the Kings are down 2 D's, the price might be climbing. NJ was shopping D's too...

I hope any dman doesnt cost us Bernier.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Is Bodnarchuk gonna play tomorrow?

 

[Johnny Utah]

Does Manchester even have 6 D now with muzzin, bodnarchuk up and hickey lost on waivers?

Also, forget about komisarek. He is awful and a healthy scratch again today for the Leafs. He is considered slow in the East. Not good.

 

[Martyros]

rofl. Went from "doubtful for tomorrow" to our for season.

this sucks big time. Come back Hickey!

 

[Little Psycho]

Damn

 

[RonSwanson*]

Is it possible that Greene was dealing with this injury before the season began and that's why Dean chose Muzzin over Hickey? Greene insurance?

 

[Pucknut50]

I feel bad for Greene. Get well soon Greener.

 

[Chazz Reinhold]

You know it's a serious injury when it knocks Matt Greene out for the season. This is the guy who played the same night after being run over by a Jeep.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

WTF!!! He went from doubtful tomorrow to out for the year? Sure would be nice to still have Hickey

 

[BigBrown]

Well we DO have those cap relief buyouts available so Komisarek could be an option for the remainder of the season... though being scratched on the Leafs doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Damn this is a bad situation. Greene brings so much to the team.

 

[Muzzinga]

Trade for Nikita Nikitin 1 time.

 

[Bondoao1]

Wow that sucks, hope the team can recover with a replacement.

 

[deeshamrock]

WTF!!! He went from doubtful tomorrow to out for the year?

It might have been that DL didn't know how serious it was, maybe Greene was getting and MRI or test done. If he's out for the year, maybe there's surgery involved.

He's a real warrior on the ice and they're really gonna miss him in the lockeroom, and until Mitchell is back that's 2 leaders down. At least Willie is practicing again that's a good sign

If Greene is done for the year, do they reassign his A??? Mitchell or Richards maybe?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

If the Leafs bought a portion of Komisarek's cap hit, as they did with Lombardi, he may be the best option available to play in place of Greene. He may be bad on the Leafs, but I recall Beauchemin looking bad in TO as well and he looks like a different player in Anaheim. Komisarek was significantly better on a structured team, which is what Montreal used to be.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Oh for ****s sake

Playoff injury-free karma biting us now?

No Greene, no Mitchell, lost Hickey...testing that defensive depth early. and we don't really have any stay-at-home folks that are ready...

 

[FrozenKing18]

So much for keeping the whole team lol. Well this sucks.

I thought he'd bounce back once they hired Carlyle but he's apparently still riding the bench.
