Injury Report: Infirmary [Nugent-Hopkins Day-To-Day (Foot)]

[Blue Line Turnover]

I predict this team comes together and has a good run withOut Hall this time around.

I pray to L. Ron Hubbard that you're right.

 

[AJGass4]

Could be worse.

Someone will have to step up.

 

[McAsuno]

Time for the rest of the young guns to step up. I'm looking at you RNH and Yak especially.

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

the thing about a MCL sprain, is that he'll be much, much, much less than 100% when he comes back as well... we're already in 2015-16 territory here... lol, all you can do is laugh at this point

as others have said, i somehow doubt we'll be able to finish lower than the sabres, but if the last decade has taught me anything, its this: never underestimate the oilers ability out-suck the rest of the league... additionally, if we finish 29th, then at least we'd have a very good shot at getting one of mcdavid or eichel

That's true... MCL sprains can hinder even the most Wolverine-like healers in terms of even being close to 100% in a short time frame.

Taylor Hall could resume skating as early as Monday; no specific timetable for return until we see how knee handles it. (2/2)

 

[Aceboogie]

Word today is Hall, who suffered a sprained ligament in his right knee crashing into a goalpost in a 3-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks Nov. 1, was scheduled to skate at Rexall Place. In addition to that, Oilers Now host Bob Stauffer, who is with the team in Music City, strongly suggested Hall would be back in the line-up as early as Sunday against the Arizona Coyotes.

Potentially good news

 

[sepHF]

Potentially good news

Hall is a freak

 

[RipsADrive]

I understand both Hall's and the team's desire to have him back on the ice but Sunday seems like he's being rushed back to me.

I have no medical experience whatsoever so I have to take their word for it but I hope he's not putting himself at risk to reinjure.

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

They need to give him more time than that speculative return date. An extra few weeks might help out in the long run

 

[Soundwave]

I don't like it. I don't think players should rush back, and the team is playing OK right now. They're not making the freaking playoffs (so why rush?), but they need to learn to play without Hall and they're starting to do that.

 

[KMart27]

It's a 2-4 week injury. Sunday would be 2 weeks. Last year Hall's knee injury was supposed to keep him out 4 weeks, he came back sooner and there were no problems. You guys are paranoid.

 

[McJadeddog]

Yeah, I'm like the most paranoid guy on the boards when it comes to hall injuries, but if he comes back on Sunday it would be exactly two weeks. The prognosis was 2-4 weeks, so Sunday wouldn't even constitute coming back early, it would only be on the early side of what was expected.

 

[Spawn]

Combine it with Hall has always come back at the early side of things when a time frame is given, and never seems to have it adversely effect him upon his return.

Could just be he is a fast healer.

Could be watching Jeff skinner net his 100th goal last might... Hall's coming back on a mission

 

[YEGJuniorFan]

I am not optimistic that the Oiler's will give Hall the proper amount of time needed to heal..

 

[Jeff Lebowski]

What's the latest on Hall? Is he back next game? I desperately need him in my hockey pool.

Sounds like it.

Taylor Hall turns 23 today. Still leads team with six goals despite missing six games. I'd be very surprised if he wasn't in lineup Sunday.

 

[2Sedins0Cups]

Pouliot, broken foot. Out indefinitely.

 

[Moose Coleman]

Pouliot, broken foot. Out indefinitely.

He wa sthe best Oiler on the ice up to that point as well. Figures.

 

[The Batman]

NHL.com says he's out 5-6 weeks.

[oiler4ever]

Edmonton's D is getting better as the Oilers place Nikita Nikitin (back) on Injured Reserve.

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

What about Matty Hendricks? I have no idea what's going on with him.

 

[Board Gordon]

Any news of when Poo is back?

 

[Digger12]

Any news of when Poo is back?

Nothing concrete, but given the injury and when he got injured I would expect his return within the next 1-2 weeks.

 

[Crobby]

So Pouliot was out for the morning skate. He must be getting very close to returning
