Player Discussion Jeff Petry (Part II) - #mynamejeff Edition

[Man Purse]

Where did you hear this? Is it an actual plaster cast or a temporary splint?

good catch

it was(is) a splint....

 

[River Meadow]

What's the deal with his hand?

Will be need surgery for sure, or just time off?

 

[Habidelidoo]

Not looking for Petry. If they already know he's not playing 4 days from now, tough to be optimistic for him to play Wednesday.

 

[Legend123]

Not looking good

Ayoye!!!

 

[montreal]

Did Dr. Recchi say something cause I don't know how anyone else would know anything since the Habs say so little about injuries.

Right.

That's what I'm wondering.

Did you notice some news on twitter said he needed surgery after playoffs.... you heard that? is that accurate?

Haven't heard a thing since, and that was a few days ago, and from just 1 source.

 

[Redux91]

I dont think he plays in the series unfortunately
They're just being careful not to announce it

Why do you think that?

 

[Boardish]

Yeah, it’s weird. If he’s not playing game 1, it’s either two things :

• He just needs a little bit more time to get back to being 100% healthy
• He won’t play another game in the playoffs

Otherwise, if they can just use a different glove/tape his fingers without much impact, why not do it game 1?

It sucks. Probably the skater that is the most difficult to replace.

I liked this Petry guy, when almost no one else did. Any team would miss a talent like him but Romanov is special as well.

Romanov is not even in the same universe as Petry at this point in his development. I like the kid but at this level of competition he will need to be heavily sheltered.

Hopefully something clicks with the kid real soon as he really struggles with reading the ice. His physicality and speed are definitely assets but his mind is still a liabilty. I am not saying that this will always be the case but he is very young and just a rookie and is quite likely over his head if put in too many high leverage situations.

 

[dkd]

Why do you think that?

Because dislocating two fingers is an ABSOLUTE bitch.

 

[Redux91]

Why do you think that?

Listen to Dom talk about it

Just doesnt feel right
Hope I'm wrong, but I think it's bad news with Petry

This is the playoffs. It's all about mind games, and nobody (especially fans) are going to know anything.
DD is simply holding his cards close. Petry will play... easily. He'll be fine defensively, and just wont be a point shooter on PP.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Losing Petry would be so f***ing typical. We always have to lose a huge piece in a deep run.

I know exactly. I put literally zero stock in anything that comes out to the media at this point. You would think people would know better by now.

Having said that, it is possible they hold him out game 1. But if they lose, hes back game 2 for sure.

And to lose your top D in such a manner. I'm beyond pissed at those stupid camera holes.

Keep in mind the Habs released that image if Weber in a heavy hand wrap prior to the Leafs series. That IMO was pure gamesmanship. Wondering if they are playing the same games, seems like something MB would be into.

Not a doctor but they probably just need time for swelling to go down so he can wrap his hand around his stick and they can apply the tape. Offseason he will need surgery to repair ligament damage in his fingers from the dislocation.

 

[FF de Mars]

I read you don't necesseraly need an operation to cure a dislocated finger, only if the finger is torned or broken; which isn't always the case.

 

[ottawa]

Well he's not skating for fun, that's for sure...my guess is he's close to being game-ready. I think he's a game time decision tomorrow? Let's hope he's ready to go.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

He might have an issue shooting, but otherwise he should be fine

 

[ottawa]

That's okay, he can't shoot any worse than he was pre-injury.
