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

[McChucky]

Just had one of those before morning coffee moments.

Was reading a post from the middle of January trying to figure out how Yakupov got a concussion from a shot to the leg.

LOL...me too......

Finally going to sticky this thread.

Joensuu suffered a high ankle sprain and is out 4-weeks, likely the season.

Yakupov injured his ankle in the Carolina game. This is likely an on-going issue stemming from a month ago when he was in a walking boot and less than a week ago when his ankle took the worst of it in a collision with Matt Cooke.

Hendricks injured his leg today versus Nashville blocking a Shea Weber slap shot.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Tough on Hendricks, I'm glad they shut him down early, or what seemed looked like it was earlier then a tight game.

I think, and hope, we'll see Pitlick make his way up on an emergency recall. I'd love to see him get another look.

Nick Kypreos ‏@RealKyper 5m
#Oilers Eberle will get an MRI as early as today regarding a suspected knee injury. He's doubtful for Thurs vs #Sabres

It's all starting to pile up now

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

Eakins with his "learn to play through injury" philosophy is a little odd, but perhaps he sees it as practice for games that actually matter?

Idk

 

[nexttothemoon]

Did anyone see where Eberle got hurt? I didn't see a specific play in the last game... but it could even be a non-hit situation, maybe he's been playing "semi-hurt" for a while now.

 

[EpSoNiight]

Right off the bat josi checked him into the boards pretty good, but he played through it. Only play I can remember

 

[sepHF]

Ellis boarded him but I don't know how that would've hurt his knee, he was skating really well last night too.

 

[McShogun99]

Hopefully Scrivens and Fasth get injured so we can finally put a bullet into this season behind the shed.

 

[dustrock]

Ellis boarded him but I don't know how that would've hurt his knee, he was skating really well last night too.

Wonder if he noticed it later on and once he warmed down, figured something felt wrong. I've definitely had injuries even just in men's league when the day after a game I felt 10x worse.

I did that at Halloween!

 

[Replacement*]

Anybody else wonder that as soon as the oilers bounce back and start to respond with some physical hockey that the injuries start?

For instance in the case of Eberle I don't know how the knee injury was incurred but I would say the Nashville game might be the most physical I'd seen him play in his career. I think he threw one check and actually entered a scrum. He might even have looked upset at somebody

Do they still give out the Lady byng trophy?

ps that was a rhetorical question but perhaps a sad state of hockey today that they do still give it out but that so few players today win it. Seems distributed to either Pavel Datsyuk, or Martin St. Louis over last decades. I realize the list of possible candidates grows shorter but..

This used to be something valued. Sportsmanship. Now I wonder.

 

[Groucho]

Eakins refuted Kypreos claim that Eberle had an MRI. He called it a tweak and said it should be considered day to day and not overly serious.

Eakins never backs down. And he's always right.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Conversely Kypreos is always wrong. What an idiot.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Yeah to further OHH's point, Kypreos is just dreadful and cares very little about actually getting things "right".

The other thing is, if you're looking at it logically, Eakins is MUCH more likely to know what's going on with HIS players in EDMONTON then Kypreos is from Toronto

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

Looks like Ebs is pretty much ready to go and Belov is cleared to play.

 

[FinnSkillz28]

What's up with #64? How long he will be out?

 

[Sloth Slothersons*]

What's up with #64? How long he will be out?

He'll be out as long as EAKINS SAYS HE'S OUT.

There you go, Fasth is down.

 

[Digger12]

@EdmontonOilers

Coach Eakins says Fasth has a sprained neck and is headed to see the doctor right now. Doesn't sound like the goalie is concussed.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Well at least there's still Scrivens.

I wonder what they do for backup. Taking Bachman out of OKC would kill their playoff chances. Perhaps Brossoit gets to warm the bench, or how about a reward to the golden bears goalie? Lol
