Injury Report: Karlsson - Achilles Tendon - Practicing w Team, May Return to Lineup Soon - Part II

[Beville]

I'm not excited by this thought at all...

If EK comes back and gets injured again this season, I WILL hate him.

 

[koreaboy]

I wouldn't be bowled over if he played tonight.

Don't think for a second that he'll come back before he's ready. Not one of the parties involved will risk that kid's future, including himself.

I'd love to see him back asap, but i think against Pittsburgh may not be the best idea.

I'd be tempted to give Cooke a two hander to the mouth, and we don't need EK suspended.

 

[waynson spetzky]

He certainly looks like he's ready. Watching Karlsson skate in practice you would never guess he sufferred any injury at all. He's even stealing pucks from Alfie in keep-away.

Yost tweeted that he'd skated for 2 hours sometime this weekend.
I think he's ready.

Erik Karlsson skated for two hours yesterday. That's putting in work.

Why are people so worried and not wanting him to play? Do you really think with all that is invested with EK that he'd be allowed to come back before he's ready? They have some very high profile doctors that worked on him, they would not give him clearance if there was any type of worry.

Karlsson looked pissed in the Leafs game..now he's training pretty hard to come back.

Because people on the Internet are more knowledgable about his injury than doctors, coaches and management.

So, you're saying you're an expert?

 

[CanadianHockey]

Mendes doesn't think Karlsson's going to play tonight, as he isn't participating in drills Instead, he's spent most of the practice talking to MacLean.

He's saying "yo Stache, let me play."

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

So, you're saying you're an expert?

Yes, we all are.

 

[Saabman0508]

Yes, we all are.

Hmmmmm. Time to go and display my newly discovered knowledge.

 

[xVolchenkov]

He's saying "yo Stache, let me play."

Hahahhaa. SBP would be unreal tonight if he came back. I wouldn't bet on it, but man would that be amazing.

 

[Ladyfan]

Good Luck tonight Sens.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

He's saying "yo Stache, let me play."

Maclean was quoted as saying "Karlsson will play when he tells me he's ready"

So it's Erik's call as far as we know

 

[Emerica]

Ian Mendes‏@ian_mendes4m
As of right now, Erik Karlsson has not told Paul MacLean that he's ready to play.

.....

Considering the reported conversation that was had between McStache and Karlsson during practice, I wouldnt' be surprised if it was about tonight or about waiting a few more days to get in some practice and getting back in in Washington where he'd have less pressure not being in front of the home crowd.

 

[Pancakes Pancakes]

.....

It's difficult to believe anything they say at this point. I mean, just before we found out he was skating, reports were he was having trouble walking! They have been playing a game all along!

 

[jbeck5]

.....

Finally some clarification. Before this I was confused as it sounded like maclean saying karlsson will play when he says hes ready...karlsson sayd hes ready...coach says no youre a healthy scratch tonight" but now we see thats not the case.

So there's no chance of him playing tonight? (Pittsburgh)

 

[aragorn]

TSN is reporting Karlsson will not play tonight.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

So there's no chance of him playing tonight? (Pittsburgh)

There wasn't at all from the start.
