Injury Report: Josh Norris Upper Body Injury

[Sweatred]

Possibly, for 2 weeks, but is it worth it.

Pinto can go to the AHL too.

Pinto can go to the AHL too.

If they make the playoffs, maybe he should go down.

I thought he had to be on the AHL roster by the cutoff date to play in the playoffs, can we move him while he's injured, I didn't think so...

Good point, not sure if he can be assigned while injured.

I doubt Norris goes to Belleville for any reason, if he can't finish the season in Ottawa than he should just stay home & heal until next yr. You don't want your #1 centre getting hurt in the AHL, he's been there & done that.

100% even though he’s eligible it’s a mistake. He’s a proven top 6 center. He was on pace to get 30ish goals as well. That whole top line could of hit 60 pts.

DOCTOR BRUCE!

Good news… I guess.

So, basically pretty much March now.

Can you mention it will help the tank, or is there a new rule here as well?

I don't want the team to actively tank, I want them to compete, but I think it will take care of itself with Tank Commander Zaitsev now in the fold in addition to missing all the young stars. Subtraction by addition.

Why is every single piece of Norris info immediately contradicted?

Still at a loss for what is happening here.

 

[BondraTime]

Bruce everybody

If this is creeping into march I say just shut the kid down for the season and make sure he's 100% heading into training camp. If he comes back and re-injures his shoulder then next season and beyond could be affected.

I am saying he is back for the Montreal game on February 26th

 

[LeProspector]

Any timetable for his return?

Started skating... so i am still saying the 26th

I hope so. I'm going to that game. But coming off a shoulder injury I think he'll need contact practice for a couple of weeks.

It sucks so much that we didn't have a single game vs the Habs yet... We'll never see our full healthy team vs when they ultra sucked, at least not for now because MSL will have them playing hard

I would have liked to see a crushing victory

It's a tough call both the player & his teammates want him back including the coaches, but hopefully they will do what is best for the player. White is suppose to be back after shoulder surgery & Pinto is another guy with a bad wing that hopefully they take their time with & do the right thing. But I agree coming back to early can be counterproductive in a contact sport, they need to make sure he is 100%.

They still ultra suck.

 

[Emrasie]

They are not that good now either and who is their goalie? Crushing them is still a possibility.

Terrible idea - the kids need practice and developmental time they don’t get if they are shut down . Even playing 5 games at the end of the season is a valuable confidence builder.

They should all come back when they are healthy.

Should/can Norris play wing?
