Pitick - lacerated spleen

Sounds like Pitlick lacerated his spleen during the Flames game yesterday.

He is going to be out for a long time I assume... kid has absolutely no luck when it comes to injuries.

Oh for crying out loud. poor kid. That's gotta be painful. I like how he was playing. Guy seems to be cursed.

Anyone have a YouTube of the hit? I stopped watching when they went full Oiler.

How would you even do that to yourself? I'm fairly certain this is the first time I've seen a hockey player suffer this injury.

Forsberg says hello.

Sean Avery fractured his one year in the playoffs too

The picture is actually SHOWING how it occurred. Flamer player got his skate up right into Pitlicks gut after getting pummeled by Pitlick. Just looking at that hurts.

Getting kicked with a skate is usually bad news.

Did he freeze it first?

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Poor guy, hopefully he has a full recovery, he dished out a couple of big hits last night.

I can't remember, but he actually played through it for a game and scored 2 goals (this was when he was with the Rangers), before having surgery to fix the injury

And he never gets the same injury twice in a row

 

[Joey Moss]

Wow that is ridiculous.. he absolutely destroyed Bouma on that play.. so unlucky.

And he played through a lacerated spleen for the rest of the game.. tough kid.

It actually happens quite a bit from blunt force trauma. Doctors will tell you they see a lot of athletes come through with this injury.

I think it might've happened when Bouma tried to hit him in the 3rd... they had a pretty big collision.

you should post this in the hilarious picture thread in the lounge

Nah. Lacerated = ruptured. I'm sure it happened in that collision, but he wasn't actually cut. His spleen just split from the impact.

WE don't know that. Sometimes a rupture isn't felt for a little while. Could've been from the skate kick into the mid section.

Any Doctors in the crowd?

I think it's 3 months of no contact sports for regular people. Not sure what the guidelines are for NHLers

Agreed.

As soon as he starts to get some traction in the NHL he gets injured.

Unfortunately that has been the story for Pitlick so far.

Been the case in the AHL for the most part as well.

This guy is the Forsberg of fourth liners.

If Eakins was still coach of this team I would make a smart ass statement like;

So that means he can be back next week then..

 

[OiledUp]

This kid just can't catch a break, unless it's his femur I guess. He had some huge hits last night, this usually happens through blunt force trauma towards the left side of the abdomen. Sometimes a broken rib can cause a laceration as well. The spleen can also rupture spontaneously if you got mono or is pregnant for example. But since this happened during a game and he's unlikely to be pregnant I'd go with blunt force trauma, likely from one of the collisions with Bouma.

 

[Philly85*]

That is really tough... wishing a swift, albeit not rushed recovery. All the best to TP.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Awful luck... he honestly has been snakebit when it comes to injuries ever since he's been in the org.

Could be a player there... but will we ever find out when he's perennially on the IR?
