Injury Report: Injury Talk 7.0: Price (knee/groin), Patches (shoulder), Pleks (groin), Prust (rib)
- Thread starter hototogisu
- Start date
With Galchenyuk and Eller maturing, Plekanec will be the main piece of a contender team. People don't understand how he's one of the most versatile player in the NHL. We'll have a great 1 - 2 - 3 punch at center. Future looks bright.
The only problem I had with Plekanec is his overuse of his slap shot. Other than I totally agree with the people defending plek.
Its always interesting to see who was injured. I'm getting the feeling gio is going to retire. A recurring Injury like that at his age is hard to overcome.
Also I'm so happy Markov was healthy all year. I think he'll be better next year after adjusting to his slower speed this year.
I also agree that pacioretty should have sat. I'm glad that he wanted to show his toughness, but he couldn't be effective in his role.

It wasn't a reoccurring injury though. He tore both his bicep tendons once I believe
Pleks had two typical moves: his one handed move around the D and his slapshot move that he used to beat Theo in '10.
He has a number of good tools, including a good Wrister. I just wish he would use it more

Poked the bear!!!!!
Agreed. I wish he would cut a bit in the middle at the circles and use that wrister more, especially since he often enters the zone with a lot of speed.

That can't be ever more true. Some people complain that he doesn't score a lot but he puts up some pretty good numbers and he plays really well defensively

No, but Desharnais was suffering from suckiness, uselessness, and nanisme.
What an warrior this guy has been, playing through the pain knowing that he signed a fat contract just because he was a local boi.
I knew it was his ribs. Didn't look like he went down favoring his shoulder. Looked awful, though. Love this guy.

Seeing what Prust, Pacioretty and Gionta went through makes Desharnais' and Ryder's efforts in the playoffs look even more pathetic.

please
Pretty amazing what Plekanec was able to do with that injury, especially his burst of speed on Subban's game 4 goal.
I can't even believe this.
@RenLavoieRDS:
Ryan White suffered a punctured lung in game #3. Problem was resolved and it was possible for him to return in the playoffs. #RDS

Yikes. This team really was falling apart. Hopefully these injuries don't affect their long-term performance.
