Injury Report: Injuries Thread: 2018-19 Edition

[Preds Partisan]

That would be very bad news.

 

[TitansVolsPreds615]

That would be very bad news.

Yeah, Forsberg has really dried up without Arvi.

 

[FossilFndr]

What's your speculation about PK? I'm thinking illness instead of injury. Hopefully a 24 hour bug, maybe needed IV fluids because of the way he returned in the Ducks game. Went out about the same time in first (13 & 18) in both games. Though fluids (?) helped against Anaheim the next night that was just not enough.

Neither time did I see any contact that should take him out.

It's just annoying that the NHL teams are so hyper-sensitive that they can't provide this information. Who is really going to take advantage of it? NHL players have more solidarity and respect for eachother than at basically any other time in history, the number of db's who would target an injury is very low. Fans are paying the bills and buying the tickets, they should be entitled to know. Give us the regular season anyway. Playoffs - ok, I think we can compromise and let the secrecy win out in the playoffs, fair enough.

I saw that too. There were a few people who said he was on their flights back from Dallas and he did indeed have a cast. May have been precautionary but he's likely looking at a 4-6 week injury if a cast was needed.

I don’t know, some hand breaks aren’t but a few weeks

 

[Drake744]

Didn't James Neal have a hand/wrist break that he wasn't even out for?

 

[Preds Partisan]

Yeah it was around Thanksgiving that year and he struggled with it from then on.

 

[TitansVolsPreds615]

He had a weak shot for the rest of the year. I'd rather let Arvi rest and get back to 100% rather than come back at 60% like Neal did and stay there for the whole year.

 

[Pred303]

poile just said no subban tonight and 'we will see when he comes back' and that arvidsson would be out "awhile" which sounded like a considerable amount of time (i'm thinking broken hand or torn thumb ligament). he did say hamhuis "might play tonight as he's been practicing with the team"

[Scoresberg]

Dang it

 

[Drake744]

F********k

 

[Scoresberg]

Next man up, just like in the playoffs -17.

 

[Drake744]

I'm not endorsing or declining this idea but if Tolvanen is truly only a good call up in a top 6 role, then I wonder what he could do next to Joey. But whatever.

I'd see what we have in Grimaldi first. Give him a couple of games in the top line.

 

[TitansVolsPreds615]

Gotta be Tolvanen time. I do not want to see Grimaldi in the Top 6.

 

[Armourboy]

I have zero issue with trying Grimaldi on that top line for a game or two. Part of what made Arvi and that top line effective is his willingness to go get it and constantly dig.

That said, I dont have a real big problem with shuffling guys around and giving several guys a chance to prove themselves, no matter what their name is.

 

[LCPreds]

Why would you have to do Grimaldi or Tolvanen in the top 6? Next one up there should be Hartman imo.

 

[Scoresberg]

Spread the wealth. Hartman has been productive even when he's not been in the Top-6. Also, I think Grimaldi is not a complete turd, and Joey & Forsberg duo can carry a lesser player. Hartman has also shown decent chemistry with Fiala.

 

[Drake744]

 

[Scoresberg]

So it wasn't the flu, eh?

 

[NoNecksCurse]

damn. in between a rock and a hard place

 

[Roman Yoshi]

If the team isn't willing to bring up Eeli, I think we have to seriously consider making a move to bring in some additional scoring. We can't really afford to be without Arvi's offense for that long.

 

[Drake744]

Well that's with the assumption that he'll provide offense and we simply aren't choosing to bring him up. There's no guarantee that he would. He might, but it's not anything to bank on.

 

[WartracePred]

Why would you have to do Grimaldi or Tolvanen in the top 6? Next one up there should be Hartman imo.

I think we sometimes equate our wishes with reality. We all want Tolvanen to translate his success in the KHL to the NHL. Right now that's just wishful thinking. He's still trying to establish his game in Milwaukee. Neither Forsberg nor Fiala made an immediate impact in Nashville. Both paid their dues with the Admirals. Just stop already with the Tolvy in for Arvy talk. Hartman, Sissons, Fiala, Jarnkrok, or Smith are all better options right now.
