Injury Report: Injury Thread 2018-19 [Klefbom (Finger Surgery, Out 2 Months)]

[McJadeddog]

Little birdy told me 4 weeks

that sounds "about right" for 2 broken fingers.... only end up missing about 12 games or so if that ends up being true, which isn't the end of the world

KLEFBOM TAKE MY FINGERS

Rieder off of IR and Russell now placed on IR. Defence is starting to look a bit rickety.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Sucks, I hope Russell's injury isn't concussion related (thought it might be) because that could become a big problem for his game going forward. It makes Jones' recall even more sensible.

 

[Aerrol]

Oh god. Russell out too... So long, playoff hopes lol.

 

[Multigrain]

How far out is Sekera?

Next season or March

Nurse is going to have to really step it up a little bit. They could possibly make a trade if they feel they are still in the hunt. Not sure which teams are shopping players.

Chicago, Philly, Ottawa

 

[Multigrain]

According to Gregor he broke two fingers .

At least 2

This is literally why I want to never see Mcdavid on the pk

Oh man don’t even use the C word .

We’re so delicate right now that would be a massive kick to the nuts.

Didn't he return to the game? I highly doubt it is concussion related.

He did, doesn't mean they didn't once again make the wrong call.

I thought he took a puck or a hit up high last game

 

[McJadeddog]

So no information on the Russell injury?

Still no info on Russell injury?

 

[Boom not bust]

Still no info on Russell injury?

I'm not aware of any official news, this afternoon Stauffer was speculating it was a groin injury and guessed he's out 2 weeks

 

[Mav3rick07]

Klefbom out 6-8 weeks. Surgery on broken finger.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU..............

That might be the season right there. 7 weeks from today (and right after the all-start break) would mean 17 more games missed. This team is NOT good enough to play without its best dman for 17 games and be able to tread water.

Sure they can...especially when you have a guy named McDavid. Losing Klefbom stings, but it basically means, they rest of the d-men have to elevate their games just a bit more in his absence. You lose a guy like McDavid, that's when you drown quickly.

 

[Oilhawks]

How does it take that long for the team doctor to evaluate whether or not it needs surgery?

 

[snipes]

6-8 weeks for Klefbom yikes

 

[McClelland]

Next season or March

Even if Sekera become available, i wouldnt want him coming in and losing games for us, he was really bad when he came back from injury last season. Send him on a 6-8 game conditional stint to the minors!

Knew Klef should have just got robotic arms instead of wasting time with shoulder surgery. Missed opportunity.
