Injury Report: Joffery Lupul (Tweaked Right Leg) - Mod Warning Post #77

[JackJ]

Recall Leivo. Alternate with Kozun on the second line.

 

[KuleminFan41]

And people want him as captain lol he can't stay healthy enough to be a factor as a captain

 

[BonMorrison]

But who will be #SaturdayNightLupul if there's no Lupul on Saturday night?

 

[TootooTrain]

Forward swap > not playing.


Be cool to see Leivo back up in the mean time.

As if not playing is the only option right now. He won't be a perma-scratch for very long. I'd rather not mess with a player who's looking to find some consistency.

Cody Franson to forward?

 

[namttebih]

Well heres your shot Matt.

Winnik-Kadri-Frattin

Yuck. Where's the offence?

 

[CalgaryLeaf*]

Yuck. Where's the offence?

good question...Frattin has no finish to his game...I'd rather see Leivo or Kozun play RW.

 

[Al14]

Lupul needs to be traded as soon as he's healthy again.

He's of no use to us if he's always in the infirmary.

 

[thewave]

He pulled a muscle? That's fine see him Sat.

 

[LMFAO]

Color me surprised

 

[X66]

Lupul has been excellent this year.

 

[thewave]

Lupul is as wreckless as Grabo just not made of steel. To bad.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Guessing one of ashton, holland, kozun, frattin take his place

I would love gardiner as a forward with kadri, doubt we see that though.

 

[StringsAttached]

I log in, check threads, see the big bright orange 'injury report' and automatically assumed it was Lupul.

All is well in the universe.

 

[ShaneFalco]

And so it begins.....
Whenever he plays well and uses the body a lot, he gets hurt. When he returns, he'll play like he's scared to get hurt again.
They had the chance to trade him..........

lol... that would be pretty awesome actually.

Winnik - Kadri - Gardiner

 

[ShaneFalco]

Gardiner plays soft. Can't see him being an effective forward

We're on the road. He only likes to score at home, on Saturday nights.

 

[Jackothy]

This has to be a joke...

 

[HellasLEAF]

Boy oh boy. And just when it looked like the old Lupul was back.

Kinda ridiculous at this point. Makes you appreciate durable guys like Kessel when you see this.

My feelings exactly.

 

[TheLeafsBro]

Guys come on. He tweaked his damn knee, he'll be back soon enough. Every player goes through this. If he gets a long term injury than you can bring on the glass comments.

 

[DD03]

There's a difference between being durable and being cautious.

Lupul throws hits, and gets hit making plays. Kessel avoids contact.

Not turning this into a Kessel debate but he's far from durable, he's just cautious.

Because the indicator of a smart individual is someone who purposely places themself in a position to get hit?

Personally I would rather my star player avoid contact and finish top 5 in league scoring every year, but that's just me i guess

Nice attempt at back-tracking by the way. Pathetic.

It's not back tracking. There's a difference between the way Lupul and Kessel plays. Some one said it makes you glad you have guys like Kessel who are durable. He's not durable, he's cautious. He avoids the contact, while Lupul when he's on his game doesn't care. He does what it takes.. It's the price he pays for the game he plays. And obviously he's had bad luck, but it doesn't mean Kessel is durable because he plays every game..
