Is there concerns about Makar’s durability ?

[Waterbuf]

I don’t get how Makars injury can be considered “nothing too serious”

he just had 2 weeks off and still can’t play.

If we are too believe what's been reported he hurt himself in the morning warmups yesterday. So the 11 days off has no bearing on this.

I’m not too concerned over several games here, several games there. I imagine he would’ve played yesterday had it been the playoffs. You can afford to be generous with maintenance days at this point in the season.

if it’s migraine / concussion then that’s unpredictable and obviously not good.

worst case scenario is it’s the same shoulder that held him out for a lot of games last year.

kid is a stud. Injuries are literally the only thing that can hold him back. Unfortunately it’s happening.

He's likely back in the lineup on Tuesday.


It's about as insignificant of an injury as you could find.

Really hope not. It sucks when uber talented guys have careers where they're constantly injured like Forsberg, Lindros, Crosby, etc.

What’s going on in Colorado. Maybe they want to look into their strength and conditioning coach. Could be something wrong w. How they are teaching the players to train off ice.

A lot of the recent stuff has been pretty flukey. Last playoffs Landy took a skate to the knee from a falling teammate, EJ broke his foot from a tipped shot and same for Toews this year. I mean stuff like that isn’t really going to change with a better conditioning coach.

Do you think a small market team like Aves even pays for that? The Aves literally are not a Canadian team.

then why did they have their playoffs in Edmonton last year, dumbass?

is there a reason you put an E in there?

I'd be more concerned if it was a different injury. Shoulder not so much.

Shoulder injury has gotta be right up there after knee, back, and head no?

i mean ankle surgeries make them stronger than prior, shoulders are all repair and salvage

 

[Mighty Makar]

Some of you don’t know @NOTENOUGHJOSTTHINGS and it shows. Lol.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

None of the injuries are due to strength and conditioning. Its the Avs shitty luck with injuries. Something thats been around for a looong time.

Erik Johnson injured after his face hits the ice on a Green way hit. Nothing a strength and conditioning coach can do about that.

Bellemare knee twists after Donato runs into it. Freak play. Nothing a strength and conditioning coach can do about that.

Devon Toews takes a shot off his foot. Was out for several games. Nothing a strength and conditioning coach can do about that.

Mackinnon lower body injury. Not sure when it happened so cant comment if we can blame strength and conditioning coach.

Calvert concussion problems likely dating back to the San Jose series when Burns hit him. Elias Pettersson also shot him in the head last year. Nothing a strength and conditioning coach can do about that.

Cale Makar current injury doesnt sound too serious as per Bednars remarks. Cant comment on this one as we dont know what the UBI is. It could be a shoulder. It could be a migraine.

Francouz has some sort of injury. Had surgery during the off season. Not sure who to blame here.

What about Joe Sakic injuring his hand by sticking it into a snowblower to see if it was still on?

A strength and conditioning coach could have easily prevented that. If he had been there, he could have told Sakic to not do it (or even offered up his own hand!).

Clearly an issue with the franchise causing players to become injury prone.

 

[hockeyisgud]

Strategic injuries so he can have an excuse when he gets outscored by Hughes again.

 

[not a troll]

Does it matter? Makar is expendable with Byram in the picture now.

 

[HanSolo]

Upper buddy injuries are the worst.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

It sounds like he’s expected to miss two games max.

 

[the_fan]

It sounds like he’s expected to miss two games max.

I think I hear he will only miss one game will possibly play on Tuesday

 

[Avsboy]

Marchand broke him with a strong hit last season

 

[avsfan9]

Yeah Hughes out scores him by 2 points in 10 more games

 

[AvsFan29]

He could have a headache for all we know. Not worried about the kid.

[eviohh26]

Out again with upper body. OP may be onto something.

 

[SenzZen]

It would be a real shame if a promising career got derailed by management mishandling an injury.

He hasn't been on IR, so it's not something major.

He's likely playing through something that keeps flaring up from time to time. Possibly, delaying surgery on it until the off-season. If it is something that continues to flare up and cause him issues, does it make more sense to shut him down to get that corrected now rather than put it off to later if that is the solution?
