Injury Report: Joffrey Lupul
- Thread starter Pinto
- Start date
Why worry until there is something concrete to worry about?
I've never understood why so many Internet posters are willing to look like idiots by jumping to conclusions about things.

Yeah this is definitely on Lupul. Pucks get shot during practice, wear the damn skates guards. Literally no good reason not to be taking common sense precautions during practice.
I swear if some guys refuse to wear them at practice then don't let them on the ice.

No its ridicules with him,most of these injuries could of been prevented... The highest level of hockey ive ever played is travel A, and even at 13-14 years old you are told to wear the wrist/lower arm and foot protectors. If you are honestly telling me that him wearing one of those sleeves that goes from your wrist to your lower elbow so that it doesnt interfere with movement, and wearing a foot protector is not his own fault... then im just going to laugh at you. If you know that you are going to be in front of the net all the time in the way of shots, its common sense to wear these things. I believe that 40-50% of the reason why you get injured, is the position that you put yourself in, choosing not to wear adequate protection is just as bad as going head first into the boards. It really doesnt matter if this injury is 0 days or 50 days, it could of been 100% prevented and thats what matters.

This team and injuries this year. We've been lucky with some of the wins so far but with the injuries being so constantly annoying how long can we keep it up.

You don't usually worry when something is concrete. I know for me, if I were to worry, it'd be because there's potential problems that may arise. In this instance, it's missing time due to injury.

Lots of players don't wear them in practice. Not saying it's right, but he's certainly not the only one around the league.

Fire Sheldon.
This team should just stop practicing. Too many injuries from it. 
But seriously, hope he's OK. Can't afford to lose him right now.

It's a stupid decision not to wear it. I don't care how comfortable it feels or whatever excuse he uses. He should be wearing it, the guy is freakin injury prone.
hope the x-ray comes back negative.. could it just be a bruise? and would he miss a game (or more) for a bruise?

Given Lupul's injury history, it's extremely dumb to not wear it. He's costing the team big time with these risks.
If it was any other player, I honestly wouldn't care, but it's Mr.Glass we're talking about here.

Can we just blend all these Lupul injury report threads into one long continuous thread. Seems like its a given that it'll be updated every few weeks given how the guy doesn't know the meaning of the word 'health'.
Might as well leave these threads open-ended til the next injury comes along.

The fact that some of the injuries to our players have been preventable by using common sense is what makes this latest incident so infuriating.
