I wouldn't say that I'm happy, but if there was time for this to happen its now when there seems to be a lot of guys playing fired up hockey right now.
I'm happy its only 4-6 weeks rather then longer cause why wouldn't I be. Should I be happy if it was 4-6 months?
Injury could of been much worse
Can't find any official description of the injury. Just no surgery required, 4-6 weeks.
Perhaps they haven't released more info, but wondering if it is a separation, a broken bone, etc?

Well, for a brighter perspective, it does give Yaks a chance to prove his worth, like many others have already mentioned.
I'm going to be watching Yakupov like a Hawk the first 10 games or so, as well as the next 2. I want him to suceed, but still do not know if he can.
Sorry for going a bit OT as this is about Ebs injury. He'll bounce back soon enough.

A dislocated shoulder involves the humerus actually coming out of the shoulder socket, and because there is so much supporting tissue around the joint that gets damaged and weakened it often never gets back to full function so future dislocations often occur. In the case of a shoulder separation it involves the ac joint where the clavicle sits on the scapula and it is really just held down by a few muscles and ligaments so the tissue damage is much less and its much more stable and less likely to reoccur once it's healed than a dislocation

I know. He still has to work his way off of that one. Now he's got Purcell and Drai to try to beat out.
This is a good thing IMO....a good test.

Makes me feel terrible.
Gross timing, but could be even worse, I suppose.
Hope he heals up strongly and quickly.
Time for someone to step up.

I'm an emergency physician. I have separated my right shoulder, and dislocated my left shoulder. The difference between the two is huge. Watching the replay and the way that Eberle hit, it looked like he separated his shoulder. The injury report and suspected recovery time now confirms that it is a minor separation. Minor shoulder separations generally have a much shorter recovery time and less long term complications. My shoulder separation took about 3-4 weeks until I started playing hockey again.
Dislocations on the other hand usually cause ongoing problems. Once you dislocate your shoulder once, you're generally prone to dislocate the shoulder again and it is never as stable as it was originally. Dislocations also take significantly longer to heal and often require eventual surgery in young athletes. My shoulder dislocation had some complications and took approximately 5 months to heal before I could even try playing hockey again.
Eberle is going to be ok, and this shouldn't slow him down once he returns to action. Good news for everyone.

I'm honestly not sure if it's a dislocation or not. The Oilers have sung this song and dance before, "it's just a minor shoulder thing" turns into season-ending surgery after 5-6 months of ineffective play. I hope that isn't the case here.

It would help the board if every time there was an injury on the team you didn't yell, "He's out for the year" for every single one.

This is excellent news. It just means that he'll be fresher for the playoffs.
On a side note. This board has become a pain in the ass to use again over the past few days. Pop up ads everytime you change a page. Nobody minds the occasional one but it's become too much again. Seems to happen every couple months now. I really hope they do something about it soon.

I can't say 100% that it is a separation, but unless the team physicians are complete quacks, we should be able to confidently assume that it wasn't a dislocation. The timeline for recovery from a shoulder dislocation is much longer than 4-6 weeks. I've had both injuries and I see them on a weekly basis in my practice.

hey now, i got a reputation to uphold! guilty as charged (to some degree), but it really is said how many times i've been right due to incompetence on our medical staffs part
I don't think it's medical staff.
I think it was management choosing to withhold information. Either by saying it was a lesser injury to give fans hope of a quick recovery. Or have players rushed back to try and save their own *****.
I honestly don't think the medical staff can be that incompetent

IIRC Hall and RNH's shoulder issues were glenoid labrum tears that needed to be repaired, which to be fair would often be treated without surgery for the average individual. They're also not the easiest to diagnose and its possible that they weren't showing much for symptoms. They need an MRI or CT scan to see the tears, and even then its not 100% conclusive and could still be missed. Not making excuses for the staff, but its not always black and white in these cases, and often professional athletes want to get back as fast as possible. So for an injury like that which doesn't necessarily require surgery the athlete might just elect to play through it.
Not the end of the world.
Hopefully, this season, with this management, Eberle will be kept out until he is WAY beyond just 'barely ready' to return. 4-6 weeks...let's just make it 8!!!
Slepyshev and Draisaitl should be able to pick up the offensive production.
