Injury Report: Injury Thread (5/2: Staal/Boyle skate with scratches, Clowe doing off-ice work)

[broadwayblue]

Still think Marc will play.

 

[Riche16]

I really think Clowe is the biggest concern of the injuries at this point... I'm no doctor but this screams concussion and out for at least the first rd

 

[Vickers8]

Still think Marc will play.

I hope you're right, when he comes back I'm sure he will start slow, like last year with 3rd pair minutes

this is good news. i doubt he plays game 1 but maybe he comes back for game 3 at home if NYR is lucky.... more likely it is later in the series game 6 or 7....

I don't think it's just the Rangers, or hockey organizations, but professional sports teams all-together. Growing trend over the years. Not a big fan of it, personally.

It actually used to be worse because opposing players would literally target an injured player to get him off the playing surface.

But that was back when sport was sport and you did anything and everything in and out side the rules to win games.

Now when a player is hurt, the team has to list them as hurt. They can be as vague as they want about the severity of the injury or where it is actually located, but teams HAVE to report injuries.

THAT I am not a big fan of.

Injured Ryane Clowe plays an expert game of dodge ball, walking past locker room and away. Walking fine though

I don't see that as sport. It's targeting injuries to potentially risk someone's livelihood which is much more important than any trophy. Sport is being at your best and competing with others at theirs to see who's better. Not taking shallow victories because you cracked an injured area with a stick or gouged at someone in a pile up.

Getting Dorsett and/or Staal back before game two *fingers crossed* would be absolutely huge

So I am guessing you were a big fan of that ol' dirtbag Bobby Clarke.

He obviously wouldn't be playing dodgeball if he had a concussion.

 

[Jabroni]

He obviously wouldn't be playing dodgeball if he had a concussion.

I think he was speaking figuratively.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

At least Clowe was at the practice facility. I remember with Nash's concussion he was no where to be seen for a while.

 

[Riche16]

He obviously wouldn't be playing dodgeball if he had a concussion.

This is more about it NOT being a lower body injury than anything. Which is again pointing more and more towards concussion.

 

[JohnC]

Ok so he's concussed. Looks like we just gotta deal with it

 

[Thirty One]

To be clear, I didn't think he was actually playing dodgeball

 

[gary laser eyes]

What was Dorsett's initial recovery time? It'll be 8 weeks exactly since his injury on Thursday.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Powe came back after 2 weeks. Boyle is widely speculated to have played through a concussion. Clowe could be back for this series.

 

[SirGoose]

6-8 weeks iirc

 

[LittleKev6D9]

Alfredsson came back from a concussion last year against NYR. McD and Nash were speculated to have concussions as well this year. I think he'll be back this series.

Boyle is the only one I'm thinking won't be back this series.

 

[Blueblood 2]

So I am guessing you were a big fan of that ol' dirtbag Bobby Clarke.

That dirtbag preferred to create his own injuries, not poke at old ones!

Jim Cerny's take on the injury situation from the Blueshirts United playoff chat.

Jim Cerny:
I think Staal is getting real close. He has not said that, nor has the team. But what i see with my own eyes shows me he is close to playing. Maybe Game 1, maybe not. But I think we see him in this series. Dorsett said yesterday and again today he is hoping to be cleared during this series, though it will be interesting if the Rangers choose to play him or not---that might depend on if Clowe and/or Boyle are still out. Neither skated again today, but both were at the practice facility, working out off ice.

This exchange was awesome. Well done, -31-, well done.

Jim Cerny: Guy: a good question...Rangers are pretty healthy other than the 4 we know have been sidelined...Cally will battle that shoulder all year, Girardi is banged up, but for most part they are good health wise...but who knows in playoffs...remember, for example, Gaby separated that shoulder pretty early in first round last year and kept playing...you can predict what might happen

Girardi been playing banged up after the Subban shot? Likely
