Injury Report: Igor Shesterkin (Day-to-Day, Mild Groin Strain)

[GoAwayPanarin]

So lower body rules out everyone who was hoping it was a back thing.

Back would have been one of the worst case scenarios.

Hip injuries are basically death for goalies so lets hope that it isn't that.

I'm hopeful mods can sticky official updates on this as we go like they have in the panarin thread bc there is going to be incredible speculation on what the injury actually is

it hurts to watch

That may be the worst non contact injury I’ve seen for a goalie.

Lets hope this isn’t Blackburn part 2. That would be our luck wouldn’t it?

Goalies don’t recover from those easily

f***​

Did you see Richter tear his groin?

Back in the day before we could do a first-post-sticky, I would just update the thread title as confirmed news came out. I will do that here, if nothing else.

There used to be an admin function where you could see how many actions each moderator had taken in a given time period. I'm pretty sure half or more of mine were alterations to thread titles to fix syntax or capitalization or other random shit.

I’m obviously guessing but he got tripped up by MCLeod and then likely hurt his groin . Just hope for the best

Inside ( left side) of right knee?

So some good news maybe? NYR posted Laf’s snipe goal on their IG 10 minutes ago and guess who “liked” it? Igor Shesterkin. So i guess we can kind of take that as some sort of good news that he’s not at a hospital or occupied with some sort of treatment since he’s liking things on his phone. I know i’m reaching but we need to have hope!

Sorry man.. definitely a reach. Nothing was going to get done tonight anyways. Got to get the swelling down before MRIs

this even SOUNDS like something from a Frankenstein film

Based on the way his right leg stiffens (look at ~30-35 second mark of that video), I would guess it's either a kneecap or a hamstring. Full disclosure: I'm not that kind of doctor (though once the official diagnosis is in, I can help to match it with the appropriate Shakespearean tragic counterpart).

 

[Charlie Conway]

Hopefully it's just a bad tweak.

Ever pull a groin? Holy HELL did that hurt.

 

[Doctyl]

I dont think we can really say what it is from the video, just have to wait

We're gonna look back on this moment in 4 months and realize this injury was the domino to us landing the 1OA pick and trading that along with Chytil, Howden, and Robertson for Eichel.

god don't remind me of this. Awful

 

[Crease]

Groin pulls are a nightmare, and that’s the best case scenario.

 

[Mandar]

Turf toe

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

We're in the "looking for a Twitter Hockey Doctor" stage of grief

 

[nyr2k2]

My initial reaction when I saw the replay was groin. I just don't see anything else going on there to make me think otherwise. Who knows, though.

 

[bleedblue94]

With shesty's style of play, even if it is "just" a groin pull it will take awhile for him to get back. His game is all about lower body explosiveness, you can't have that with a tender groin.

"Bah god, King! It's... the King!"

 

[NYSPORTS]

Maybe his back?

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

I have seen weird back and hip flexor tweaks during games that have guys getting helped off like that only to be fine the next day.

A nerve stinger type thing. It looked like he was reaching back to his back/hip area. One can hope.
