Injury Report: Hyman knee-on-knee (Update May 10: Back at practice)

[Iapyi]

I saw this earlier and my I initial reaction is that it's likely some kind of bruising. Usually people can tell when they're going to be gimped for a while so his reaction indicates he wont be.

It is tough to call. In my younger days I remember declaring on more than one occasion the player was done for the year only for them to come back to the game next period.

The poster does literally nothing except spew negativity, even if has no basis. Textbook definition of a troll.

Doesn't mean Hyman won't be out for the rest of the year, but unless he is one of the team doctors or is somehow privy to that information before literally everyone else in the know, then he is blowing smoke right now.

Had to stop ignoring people from my list (only had 3) to see who he was replying to. That Hollywood guy has consistent bad takes and I can say with almost 100% certainty that he’s a troll

Without Hyman, the Leafs are a first round exit.

I generally do not even look at poster monikers when I read posts, for the purpose of objectivity, at least before I read. Afterwards I may or may not.

Whether he is a troll or a fan he does contradict himself which I know because I accidentally stumbled upon it.

I prefer constructive hockey dialogue as opposed to "gotcha posting" though I do still find it hard to not indulge sometimes because I am a human with emotions. As I age I find it more and more boring to accommodate childish pissing matches {aka - gotcha posting} which in all actuality gives them the win because that is what they are looking for. Plus getting forum points against me which are mind boggling.

I think we can breathe a little

Get real

Hyman is a hell of a player who would help us during the playoffs but this team is still capable of winning without him

We still have the big 4 up front and the best defensive core we've had in decades

Same - hopefully it’s soft tissue, not a ligament tear. If it’s a ligament tear, his season’s over, but it very well might not be.

A licensed doctor on Twitter who does a series where he talks about hockey injuries seemed to be fairly confident its a bone bruise

Lol what were we with him. A first round finals team?
Jokes aside really really hoping for it to not be serious. We do badly need him as he’s the perfect mix of grit and skill

 

[ZEBROA]

We are in big trouble now! ...If we cant win without Hyman. Wich we should and we will. (Why did i suddenly get GnsR, Civil war in my head?)

 

[123offtheglass]

Being able to get down the tunnel on his own has to be a good sign, really hope he's alright & given the time he needs to properly recover.

 

[Cor]

Just a stinger. He’ll be fine

 

[Koolboss]

Without Hyman, the Leafs are a first round exit.

Lol how bad is this team?

 

[Macman]

Just a stinger. He’ll be fine

He was hit in the head/neck?

 

[DcW]

Hopefully Hyman is ok and hopefully Edler isn’t suspended Tuesday ...needs to answer for it on the ice

 

[Baksfamous112]

Who gives a crap about his contract right now.

His health and the effect this is going to have on the team and playoffs are the only concerns here.

I bet Hyman does give a crap about a possibly career-earning contract that will set him up for life.

If Edler somehow isn't suspended I hope the Leafs dress Sabourin as well as Simmonds.

 

[Cor]

Not that kind of stinger

Stingers of the head and neck can actually be quite devastating to athletes

 

[ToneDog]

If Edler somehow isn't suspended I hope the Leafs dress Sabourin as well as Simmonds.

He probably gets 2 games. This team has shown it's true colours for 45 games. They are not going to suddenly change, even after Foligno gets into the lineup.

 

[2 Slick]

Without Hyman, the Leafs are a first round exit.

With him they were still going to struggle and probably lose in the first round anyway. Their powerplay is laughable and their goaltending is some of the worst in the NHL.

Hyman won't change their fate.

Weak goaltending like we witnessed last night and from Freddy this year is their achilles heel.

 

[Thornbury]

Hyman is done for the season. Unfortunately.

Source?

 

[al secord]

Once upon a time this guy was also positive and optomistic

We could use that kind of moxie on this team.

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

Hopefully Hyman is ok and hopefully Edler isn’t suspended Tuesday ...needs to answer for it on the ice

lol, as if. There are two more games against the Canucks next week anyway. There's no sense in the Leafs wasting their limited reserves of truculence and pugnacity on a non-playoff team.

Justifiably! That was 100% deliberate.
