Injury Report: Kris Letang Lower Body Injury (Status: Healed, Back Friday 10-25)

[WhoDaresWins]

I guess Letang left after 30 minutes of practice.

Not sure what, if anything, to take away from that. Good that he's at least on the ice again, I suppose.

He was only scheduled to be on the ice for 30 minutes.

Bylsma: Bennett injured, day to day; Letang was only scheduled to practice 30 minutes today, needs to continue to progress

So Bylsma injured Bennett to prove a point?

They played wiffle ball again...

 

[Shrimper]

Bennett injured? Urgh.

 

[Gold Diamond]

So tired of these injuries...

you would hardly know it around here - a stark contrast to the complaining that was going on after he played less than 7 minutes last game.

We get it. You're the board's designated DB defender. Embrace it I guess, b/c you'll have your work cut out for you this season.

Forgive us for thinking DB would bench Beau after a couple of mistakes. There's certainly no track record for such a thing........

Don't follow a professional sports team.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Of course Bennett got injured, he's useful and talented. Watch this useful Gladams get hurt.

 

[66-30-33]

So..pretty soon we will have Adams/Glass on the top line because everyone is injured. Great, every ****in year. Team needs new players, players who don't always get injured.

I knew we would have to see him on the big club when we signed him. Its midget time! I swear to god, if i hear the word "buzz" one more time.....

 

[Ogrezilla]

it sucks that he's hurt, but long term its probably better that Bennett is injured rather than Disco just being that terrible.

Yep.

I'm relieved that he is injured.

You would have to go way back.. Almost an entire week since he benched BB last.

If BB was hurt and that's why he didn't play, cool.

Unless you are related to DB, I'm not sure why anyone would give him the benefit of the doubt anymore.

Why would your boy play him after he got hurt then?

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Players try to play through injuries literally every day.

There's no controversy anywhere in this situation now.

And it's the coached job to make the tough decisions and sit guys who are hurt.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

And that's exactly what Bylsma did when it became clear that Bennett wasn't able to play through.

its the medical staff's job, isn't it? I'm assuming the meds said it wasn't an injury that would get worse by playing so BB tried to play through the pain.

I guess it's the cool thing to do to defend him even when faced with multiple examples supporting the contrary.

But then again, Glass.

When was he actually benched? His ice time increased in every game until Tampa.

I'm not even interested in "defending" Bylsma, but let's just make sure we're criticism him for things that have actually happened.

Like Neal

It actually isn't lol

nah, the far cooler thing is to blame everything on DB. I like and dislike him fairly equally but don't feel the need to add to the extremely vocal chorus.

The season started on the 3rd. It's been a week. I think that's all he meant.

Last year? Yeah, he was benched. The point is that DB doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. At least not with me.
