Injury Report: Jumbo to IR ~10/6

[Jaleel619]

He's still excited to play hockey.

 

[hockfan1991]

Nice to see, game action sometime soon?

Possibly Thursday. (He can be activated at any time)

 

[SactoShark]

Is this a drill for the goalies to practice shoves to the back?

When Raffi first blew out his knee, they thought they could just repair it, but that wasn't working so they put in the cadaver ligament, which his body rejected, so they went back in and removed the cadaver. I remember JR talking about how lots of guys played that way in his day. However, shortly after he was cleared to play again (well after his 41 game suspension) the Sharks assigned him to the AHL and then traded him to Toronto.

No one was ever going to sign him after that suspension. That was his unofficial official ban from the league.

Any news before the game?

 

[WSS11]

Hertl and Labanc both in. Hertl didn’t skate this morning though. Hope just has a bug or something

On the fb practice stream with Randy and Bakes, Jamie mentioned that the flu or a bug is going around. Hopefully the guys who are under the weather don't spread it.

 

[Kcoyote3]

Everybody needs to stop sneezing on Thornton's knee.

 

[WTFetus]

Stupid team. Get them flu shots.

 

[Friday]

Kinda double posted this but sounds like Jumbos knee isnt there yet

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Have a feeling we'll be seeing the same thing until the playoffs end again...

I’m just going to assume you mean the baseball playoffs.

I wish.

 

[Kegsey]

Why would they have Jumbo practicing with Kane and Pavs if he's not going to play? Seems like a waste of time.

 

[The Ice Hockey Dude]

Kurz reporing tha Jumbo traveling with team on field trip coach pdb says he may or may not play

Who knows anymore, they could do that for months.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

I honestly don't think we should rush Jumbo back in. The team is doing well as it is and it is more important for him to be healthy during our playoff run.

 

[LadyStanley]

Pashelka version

 

[WTFetus]

Didn't realize Thornton had a PICC line. Fairly serious then.

Hopefully he's not on IV cipro.

 

[slocal]

Yeah, PICC line doesn't sound minor.

 

[Friday]

Going to be awkward when the Sharks are actually better without Jumbo in the top 6, and I dont want break up the 3rd line soooo haha Jumbo on the 4th anyone? But still on the 2nd PP unit

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Yeah, PICC line doesn't sound minor.

I am not a doctor. Nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn. But, yeah, that does not sound minor.

 

[LadyStanley]

Year(s) before Jumbo joined the Sharks, he had an infection from his gear. (Another reason the team steam cleans the guys' equipment regularly.)

Minor scratch became major infection. (Google search does not have one easily found article, but he was "injured" during practice January 2003, developed a MRSA infection and required intravenous antibiotics.)

Guessing they wanted to give him some fairly strong stuff to knock down the infection.
