Injury Report: Lupul

[Animal]

frattin has gotta take this opportunity and run with it

 

[cdosrun]

That is actually devastating...

It's super early to start worrying but the timing is just horrible considering he just signed a huge contract. I wonder how long that type of injury will keep him out for.

Internet research is saying it takes about 8-10 weeks to fully heal.

 

[Peasy]

should be kadri going by how hes played so far

Noooooooooooooooooo, keep him in the middle, he looks so much better there.

 

[Clark4Ever]

A broken forearm typically heals faster than a fractured forearm. Might be 4 weeks in a best case scenario.

 

[Auston Matthews]

8-10 weeks
Pretty much done for the season. ****.

 

[Once]

i'd say 4 weeks. He will be skating in 2 weeks so he won't be rusty. There are ways around it and judging by how they played tonight without him I am not worried.

 

[Scoogs]

God ****ing dammit.

 

[JMcLeaf]

****

 

[Jazz Jackrabbit]

It wasn't meant to be reuniting him with Carlyle.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

8-10 weeks
Pretty much done for the season. ****.

It's 4-6, and that's if surgery is required. So no, it's not the season.

is this the sort of thing that heals completely - or can it create ongoing problems?

 

[I Believe]

Ugh, that just sucks.

A broken bone and a fractured bone is the exact same thing.

 

[Lebanese Leaf]

is this the sort of thing that heals completely - or can it create ongoing problems?

forearms are pretty standard as far as bones go, I don't see any lingering issues with this once he's fully healed.

Almost prophetic that Mac was practicing with Bozak and Kessel this morning......

 

[Erdinger]

Aren't they the same thing? I think you mean if the bone doesn't need surgical fixation with a plate which is hopefully the case.

 

[Borschevsky]

This is so typical. Just another day for Leafs fans

 

[Oskar The Groucho]

Frattin should not see NHL time at all this season please don't send him up please

 

[Clark4Ever]

A broken bone and a fractured bone is the exact same thing.

Not necessarily.

Crap. As much as I love Lupel and thinks hes fantastic on and off the ice, the 5 year extension has me worried given his history of injuries, and the fact that hes one of our few who will get in front of the goalie and take a beating. Sigh.....

His injury history is not bad at all! He had that serious back injury a few years ago but what messed him up was the surgeon goofing on the operation which setback his recovery. Other then that, he had one broken arm last year and now he re-injured it, but really thats NOT that bad of a history, want a severe injury history look at a guy like Crosby or Coli, those guys just cant get their ish together.

 

[p.l.f.]

good time to try and get bobby ryan

 

[TheOtherSide]

Not necessarily.

No. Fracture is just the medical term for a broken bone...

Sucks to lose Lupul though. Hopefully it isn't too bad

 

[Rockinz]

This was why i was skeptical of his signing... especially term!

 

[threeGo]

Frattin should not see NHL time at all this season please don't send him up please

if not him then we have to bring connolly. I think that connolly will bring negativity to the team. He's not the type of player we want to have around the younger guys.

 

[Guy Boucher]

Not necessarily.

Yes, necessarily. In fact, by definition. Ask any doctor or review any authoritative literature for confirmation.
