Injury Report: jury Report: Blues 2021-22 Injury Report (Includes COVID-19 protocol)

[Blueston]

Sunny is still being evaluated. I hope it's not his knees or hips.

Should shut him down for rest of regular season. He isn’t full strength regardless of last nights injury. Let him rest and heal and we get his ltir cap space. If he is back for playoffs even better.

Agree, or at least rest him for several games.

Put Dak in there with Kostin and Bozak. Could be a good 4th line.

Assuming he doesn't have a reinjury, benching a player down for the rest of the season doesn't help that player get stronger. Sitting him causes deconditioning and makes him weaker going into the playoffs. Let him continue to play on the 4th line and lower the expectations where they should be.

How is that gonna get us any cap space? He can improve conditioning without playing anyway.

A large part of Sundqvist's rust is not having a proper off season. If he has an injury that actually needs to be healed, then that's one thing. If he is still rusty and working on his timing, then the only thing that will help is playing more games. Skating laps and spending time on a stationary bike might help with conditioning but keeping him out of the lineup won't help. I don't think it's right to put a player on LTIR who doesn't have a medical reason to do so.

It’s not rust though. It’s been reported he is still experiencing pain and discomfort from his surgeries. Keeping him out of games isn’t a bad idea at all because he can still workout, skate and practice.

Do you have a link to that report? Pain and discomfort can be normal after major surgeries, but they shouldn't necessarily last unless there is scar tissue, which would be a totally different problem. If his ligaments are healed, then he needs to continue playing for strength and reconditioning.

Sunny might be back tmrw

JR put out this today: Jeremy Rutherford: It looks like the Blues dodged a bullet with... - The Athletic

The quote from Sunny is "there's still some scar tissue that we're still working with and trying to get under control. I can't fully stretch out my leg, but it feels better now."

I don't recall off the top of my head what else has been written about it, but I recall reading that it was more than just general soreness that has kept him out of games.

I was browsing Twitter and came across this. This why Schenn missed time earlier with that UBI thanks to his brother

Hahahahaha. Omfg. Schenn could not buy a break earlier in the season.

 

[bleedblue1223]

F***ing big brothers.

 

[Meatball]

Every time this thread is bumped, I think to myself, "Oh no..."

Today is a pleasant exception.

 

[Blueston]

Broken ribs, torn oblique, and broken ribs again. No wonder he struggled to produce. When healthy Schenn is still huge impact player.

 

[Blueston]

Apparently Peru is hurt again. Unclear if same injury or what but looks like gonna be out awhile.

I never cared about him being on the team but it sucks that this affects his trade value, probably will even in the summer.

Just a matter of whether or not the injuries pile up considering his physical play style

That is my concern too.

do you have a Link or something? Where does that come from ?

That has always been my concern, especially in terms of his contract.

 

[Blueston]

Looks like Buchy may have concussion. Berube says he's not doing well and is doubtful for tomorrow.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Perunovich has to have wrist surgery. Reevaluated in 8 weeks.

If there was ever a guy who deserves a graphite twig square to the teeth, it's Austin Watson.
