Aka the excuse thread

Yeah, why would the players on a team make a difference?

 

[Little Psycho]

Kings:
Iafallo (will be back for round 1)
Muzzin (will be back for round 1)
Forbort (out for awhile)

Aka the excuse thread

The value is more in helping people with playoff predictions rather than excuses.

For example last year Bos was practically an AHL team when they went up against Ott(?) in the first round.

Rick Nash - Concussion
Sean Kuraly - Upper body but likely concussion
Riley Nash - 40 stitches in the ear

Rick Nash and Sean Kuraly were ruled out tonight but have been skating for a few days.

Riley Nash took a puck to the ear and couldn’t put his helmet on.

We got word today that all 3 are hopeful for Game 1 on Thursday.

Fast forward 3 weeks and there are 14 more threads describing each injury in nauseating detail and how it will impact each team moving forward.

EJ and Varly are not going to make this playoffs it seems

Varly is confirmed out for the first round, there has yet to be an update on EJ but its looking unlikely

Leafs are fully healthy after Dermott returned in the final game. That lineup will be the one used for Game 1.

I know Stamkos is out right now for Tampa. Seems unclear on if he'll be ready for Thursday.

 

[Devonator]

Can't think of any injuries for the Flyers....fully healthy I believe....

Sutor for Minnesota is a big blow.

Sutor for Minnesota is a big blow.

That the only one? Is spurgeon back? Also is Suter done done

 

[Canuck16]

Joe Thornton would be a huge addition. I don't think he is close to returning yet.

Spurgeon should be back. Suter is done for the season not even quite sure he will be ready for the beginning of next season.

 

[Star67]

Derrick Brassard for Pittsburgh is day to day with a groin injury. Resumed skating 3 days ago. Status TBA for Game 1.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Are Kulikov and Trouba in for game 1?

 

[kidkosher]

For NJ, MArcus Johansson is still day 2 day with a concussion but he's been practicing with the team and will likely make a return during round 1.

Spurgeon should be back. Suter is done for the season not even quite sure he will be ready for the beginning of next season.

A fibula fracture shouldn't take more than 5 months to heal. It's not even a weight bearing bone. Not sure where you came up with this??

 

[PredsV82]

Preds are waiting on Jarnkrok. Hes been skating but had a shoulder injury so not sure when he gets back

Russo
It’s not a fibula fracture. He can’t put weight on his leg for 3 months. The Doctors told him if played any other sport is career would be over.

Boston:

Riley Nash won't play in game 1.
Rick Nash and Sean Kuraly are expected to play.
Anders Bjork and Brandon Carlo are done for the season. Carlo, in particular, is a huge loss.

The Bruins and Anaheim have had the worst luck with injuries this season. It's amazing that Boston did so well, all things considered.

Are Kulikov and Trouba in for game 1?

Kulikov and Enstrom out, Trouba in.
