Injury Report: Infirmary [UPD: Gazdic (Shoulder), Petry (Shoulder), Ference (Arm)]

[NewBoysClub97*]

Doesn't sound too bad but who knows until tests are done

 

[McJadeddog]

Haha Gene leaves that critical point out. Let's see what the MRI says.

of course he does... never, ever, for any reason, believe an oilers employee when it comes to reporting an early injury diagnosis

 

[Stoneman89]

So which one of the smurfs and wimps on the team is next on the hit list? My money is on Eberle in Montreal with either Eller or Prust running him though the boards while the rest of the team cowers and any tough guys we have remain stapled to the bench with instructions not to inflict retribution or touch anyone.

It sure is a good thing that Gadzic and Brown were on the t̶e̶a̶m̶ bench to keep hits like this from happening.

super useful, but hey i guess fire drills are apart of fan entertainment right...?

I think it was in the 3rd where they showed the 2 of them looking pretty happy with themselves on the bench. Maybe they yelled out a good zinger at Gryba from the bench that taught him a good lesson.

Guys like Gadzic don't prevent our star players from getting hit, that's pretty obvious.

At best, they should be trying to hit the other teams best players hard as well.

 

[Suxnet]

Looks like the stars are on their own after the lack of response displayed by the rest of team. And not just today either. Might as well get your stick up and let the guy coming at you eat a stick shaft sandwich because that's all they can do to protect themselves at this point on this sorry-ass team.

funny thing the other teams best player tend to skate better than 4th line goons, making it difficult to catch them...go figure

I have it on good authority that this photo of him in the dressing room is legit.

For years I have lurked these boards, multiple times each day. While often left laughing after reading the contributions from a variety of select self-anointed "expert" posters, this was one of the only image-posts that made truly laugh out loud. Thank you!

This really isnt a good quote at all. Sounds like more than just a tweak or a bruise when a coach uses the word "severity"

With @hallsy04 out in the short tern I wonder if the #Oilers look at bringing up Tyler Pitlick. Oiler could use his speed on the forecheck

Hmmmmmmmmm?

Can infer that in two ways.

Was this really one of those targeted hits though? At the point of contact it looked innocent enough until you see Hall's reaction. Not like Gryba was running around crushing people and chirping.

We are due for the regular mid-season AHL infusion that never works out. Do it!!!

It doesn't matter whether it was targeted or not. You have to make the other team know you won't stand for that kind of crap. This happens too often to this team, and it's ridiculous.

Montreal took it on the chin last year from these guys and stood up for themselves.

...Well, we know how that series ended.

Taylor Hall left the #oilers room, after the game, without the aid of crutches but no update from team until he meets with the doctors.

No crutches is a good sign at least.

The last part of the quote..."but I really don't know." So anywhere from three days to the rest of the season according to the coach.

 

[McGlassbangers]

I bet it's minor injury but he falls down and injures his shoulder.

Doesn't really matter. Sens were taking liberties with just hammering hits and some dirty play all game. Tried to intimidate. The idea of enforcement doesn't stop this stuff at all.

Sens were definitely running around looking for crushing hits. Virtually every Oiler forward got pasted in this game.

I remember that series well. Ottawa ran them out of the building.

Ya enforcement doesn't work. I honestly think that kind of feisty attitude can be instilled in guys. Neither Smid nor Petry were mean by any stretch when they came into the league. They weren't even particularly physical. Now they're both tough customers. Not bruisers but tough to play against.

That's never gonna be Eberle or Nuge's game, but Hall and Yakupov could certainly play a lot tougher, at the very least like Perron and Gordon.

But also, the Sens lost. I guarantee the guys would rather be pasted all 82 games and win them than get through games unscathed but lose them.

maybe maybe not. if it's ligament stuff you can walk on those you just wind up with no stability in the joint. Couple years ago I recall one of the Blue Bombers qbs took a hit on the knee, finished the game so everyone thought it would be fine next thing you know it's torn ligaments and done for the year.
