Larkin Injury Update

[lhsgolf19]

Strained obliques are not good... I know he's not a pitcher lol but normally those guys are out weeks depending on the severity of it.

Hopefully he returns soon

So is the oblique acute or obtuse?

#1OA / Jack Hughes, come on down; Get well soon Larks. Larks/Bert/Nyquist/Hronek/Cholo/Green & to a lesser degree Mantha/AA/Frans/Howard/DDK make this team more watchable/palatable. Withouot Larks, Bert, Hronek, that's 3 of the top 6 who help drive the bus. I hope they run 7 Dmen til he's back.

An oblique strain, AKA a side strain injury, is when one of the abdominal muscles (internal or external oblique muscles) becomes frayed, torn or detached. Often times from the lower four ribs, it is painful to breath, cough and laugh.

Take all the time you need Larkin. No reason to rush back until this is not a risk to hurt again.

Mantha and AA have been playing well lately, let’s see Blash forced to give them some run.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Looks like 1-2 weeks

Hopefully this won't impact nyquists production heading into the deadline

 

[Adityase]

If Holland doesn't manage to swing a trade I guarantee he'll say getting Larkin back is our trade deadline acquisition.

 

[Invictus12]

If Holland doesn't manage to swing a trade I guarantee he'll say getting Larkin back is our trade deadline acquisition.

And if Holland trade Nyquist for 4 first round picks, you'd still find a way to be displeased. Somewhat in the same way where you can't not bash Holland in a thread that has nothing to do with trades or Holland...

What a fresh joke...

It also makes no sense. We aren't trading for players to bolster our playoff run, which is what was happening when those type of comments were made.

 

[Reddwit]

Nerrrddd.

Unfortunately it will

 

[Henkka]

Unfortunately it will

Nyquist produces better without Larkin...

 

[TheMule93]

Nyquist produces better without Larkin...

Lol good one

 

[Henkka]

Lol good one

Just a true fact.

Larkin with Nyquist, goals 23-23 = 0 (50.0%)
Larkin without Nyquist, goals 8-10 = -2 (44.4%)
Nyquist without Larkin, goals 16-11 = +5 (59.3%)
Team without either, goals 56-61 = -5 (47.9%)

[RedWingzz]

But I wanted a 30 goal scorer....

Line Stats - Natural Stat Trick

Nyquist without Larkin - CF% 43.83, FF% 40.98 SCF% 44.21,HDCF% 37.61,PDO 1.055
Nyquist with Larkin - CF% 56.78, FF% 55.89, SCF% 57.21,HDCF % 55.91,PDO 0.981

yeah looks super sustainable

Even just watching them its so obvious how well they play together. The stats agree and show that they control play while on the ice.

 

[Henkka]

It's a Goal-scoring game. Not Corsi-scoring game.

 

[jkutswings]

It's a Goal-scoring game. Not Corsi-scoring game.

So goalscoring totals is the single component of how well somebody plays?

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

More important I have Larkin in my season long "points" pool. Keep better soon.

Yes.

I can say that <Website X> is better at predicting the weather than <Website Y>. That certainly doesn't mean that I never consider any sources or factors besides <Website X>.

If scoring is literally the only thing that counts about a player, then why is Glendening on the team? Or Ehn? Or De La Rose? Or Helm or Abdelkader?

There's nothing wrong with putting scoring at the top of the list. But that doesn't completely erase the rest of the list.

Scoring and preventing scoring.

Pretty much that's hockey in a nutshell.

Do I really have to discuss about this?
