What injury?

Crunch player fell into his leg last night as he was trying to hit Kapanen. The following tweet of Jeff's is quoting a .gif of the incident.

**** man he was playing so well.

Someone needs to rearrange Jake Dotchin's face. But he'll probably just go sign in the Western Conference next year so he doesn't have to play us again like that Albany plug who hurt Johnsson last year did.

 

[OldMilIce]

That really sucks. He was playing so well, and to be taken out on such a fluky play is terrible. Looks most likely like some sort of knee ligament problem, considering how the leg bent. Any word on exact injury yet? Knee problems can completely derail a career if they are bad enough. Hoping for the best

Korshkov was what 5 weeks on a broken leg? Hopefully Kap isn't longer than that...

 

[thewave]

I was under the impression it wasn't as bad as it looked. I guess...well, get well soon Kappy!

 

[tokyoite]

sprained knee or ankle

 

[Al14]

Well, that just sucks. I hope this doesn't derail his overall development.

 

[sync95]

I was honestly wondering how long our conspicuously healthy team would keep on going(ignoring Robidas Island), and it appears that Friday the 13th was the day ://

 

[Daisy Jane]

poor duckling

 

[TimeZone]

Some talentless ****ing bum has to do it of course.

 

[KingBud97]

After seeing what he did to Nielsen with that cheap shot in the scrum. It looks like kapenen had him beat on the outside going around the net and this loser goon goes low and make it look like he is falling, but it wa his only option to stop kapenen because of his speed

 

[Mitchy]

Really sucks. He was having such a great season.

 

[Jozay]

Damn, thats unfortunate.

Heres to a speedy recovery

 

[AcerComputer]

sprained knee or ankle

as soon as I saw the video, the way his knee buckled, and how he got up off the oce. I thought sprained MCL/LCL. Could be out 2+ months

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Hope Clune feeds that guy his teeth should the Marlies play Syracuse again.

Poor Kapanen. Hope it's a speedy recovery.

The time frame here isn't important. The important thing is that he recovers to 100% and it doesn't hurt his career.

Not saying it's that kind of injury, just that you always worry when a top prospect gets hurt. We've had some real rotten luck with AHL injuries over the years.

Knee problems can completely derail a career if they are bad enough.

I know that all too well. Took a cheap shot to my knee in soccer when I was 13 which dislocated my knee cap and tore some tendons in doing so. Fast forward 5 years and the same injury happens when I was starting my career in the Air Force. Hopes and dreams were crushed in an instant and 7 months in, I was on a plane back home. Knee injuries are not to be messed with. Really hope he heals well.

absolutely nothing less then a full recovery, he's change my mind about what I thought his ceiling might be, that kid has been outstanding

 

[deletethis]

He didn't look like he slipped to me. He looked to go down on purpose. But his intent seems unprovable. He can present a plausible denial.
