Injury Report: Jordan Eberle - Out 4-6 weeks

[Philly85*]

We should revisit some of the posts and threads from last year. Half the board wanted Eberle gone.

I was and still kind of am one of those. Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of the player, I just think/thought its a necessary thing that will have to take place.

Why would you say its necessary and has to take place?

Eakins era Eberle played soft and often lazy. We are seeing rookie and sophomore Eberle again.

We need Ebs back asap so we can send Slepy down to the AHL for some bigger minutes. The kid isn't confident right now and we all know he can play much better.

I'm inclined to think trading Eberle is the opposite of what we need, especially for the PP. I love a defensive minded outlook but you still need to be able to score consistently when giving opportunities.

Hey guys, habs fan having Jordan in his keeper here.

Any updates on him ? Do you know if he'll be back anytime soon ?

Yesterday I heard it was 2 weeks, sooner the better

The Eberle hate last year was some of the most absurd **** i've ever seen on HF.

After Eakins got fired I remember a lot of eberle love

It was over the top as is the case with most extreme stances on this board but it wasn't without reason. Eberle's 1+ years under Eakins was some of the softest, most uninspired hockey that I've seen out of a good player.

We learned later on that Eberle (amongst many others) wasn't too much of a fan of Eakins to put it lightly so his play resorted back to the Eberle that we all thought we knew and had once loved.

There was, because he was a totally different player. He looked like he had given up on the season as soon as it started, amazing how Eakins was able to totally destroy the games of so many players

To clarify, I never said it was totally unwarranted. I just am annoyed by people who say that the hate never existed, lol.

And yeah, I can't believe we gave Eakins almost two full years...what a disgrace of a coach. I'll never forget Eberle straight up telling the media "it's nice to be able to pick my shots again"

Not just "so many players" neither. So many really good players.

And Horcoff's, and Hemsky's, and Souray's, and...

This franchise has a pretty atrocious record with properly tending to shoulder injuries.

Not sure if this was actually the case for Eberle or if it is a completely new thing... But there is a history there.

Moreau... Pitkainen... Visnovsky... Not shoulder related, but remember this club's treatment of Brule depression in the Smyth trade saga, (and likely POS's too).


The old management here really seemed to turn a blind eye towards injuries and would be quick to tell players to play through it and deal with it. Souray aired his grievances with the media on this matter, but I won't be surprised to hear other had similar issues, but just approached it in a more diplomatic fashion.

Guys.... Put the clubs and torches down. Ebs has a separated shoulder (a tear/strain of the ligament btwn collarbone and shoulder blade... not a dislocation/labrum/ball and socket injury like the rest had. The latter are very difficult to rehab and recover... Not uncommon that they are never the same. The former is more like recovering from a broken bone, it's hard to mess up.

I honestly know nothing about shoulders, but I remember when we played Hemmer through a shoulder injury it was said that we couldn't do any more damage to the type of injury that he had.

Boy were they wrong.

A separated shoulder is common and simple. It doesn't mean he might need shoulder surgery I had a separated shoulder 2 weeks ago and I'm fine now

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

The Oilers app two-three weeks ago, said he is 2-3 weeks away lol.

he should be VERY close.

 

[Canovin]

Is it too selfish of me to want him back for the Habs game?

We are beating them regardless. It will be us that knock them from the ranks of the undefeated.

I hope so.

Then I can start a "would the oilers finish 1st in the (insert east division) ?" thread

My bad I thought he was talking about petry hehe

Eberle was awful under Eakins, soft, lazy, didn't provide much offence.

Under every other coach he's been great but I was done with him until Nelson took over.

Can't wait for him to return. The PP needs him and so does RNH.

So... Hall to the third line? I am not being facetious, upon Eberle's return I want to see either him or Hall playing on the third line. That would give 'us' three legitimate scoring threats/lines.
