Injury Report: Lupul

[Toque*]

Tim 'the tin man' is back! Nooooooooo

 

[JMcLeaf]

omg please not connolly

 

[Kingstonian84*]

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.

Well, my Mom fracutred her left arm last March and it took her 2-3 months to fully recovery but keep in mind she didnt keep up with her physical therpay and her muscles froze so she had to do extensive rehab on it. I think in Lupul's case, he has a solid team of doctors behind him, normal time is 4-6 weeks to heal, I'm gonna say end of Febuary/early March is when he should be back on the ice.

omg please not connolly

Just when things seemed so positive Connolly gets brought back into the conversation. ****!

 

[TheBigThree]

I hope glass man connolly stays on Marlies, should call up frattin.

 

[Crispy Crust]

Yeah please no Connolly.

 

[Kingstonian84*]

I hope glass man connolly stays on Marlies, should call up frattin.

I doubt he makes it on the team, even IF we call him up he has to clear re-entry waivers at half the price, no way one of the other 29 other teams don't pick him up. Odds are though its a guy like Frattin that will be called up, plays Carlyle hockey and would be more effective then tim the glass doll connolly.

Exactly. he's a pro atlete in top condition with nothing to do but have the best therapy after the bone heals. Plus not insulting your mom but I'm sure he's younger which also makes a difference in bone healing times.

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

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

Break and fracture are not the same thing.

 

[Clark4Ever]

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.

Correct, I should have elaborated. Technically the definition is the same, but a clean break should heal faster as opposed to a complex fracture with nerve involvement.

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

A fracture is the same as a break. No difference.

If it is in fact a mid shaft forearm fracture that could include the Radius and Ulna. Mid shaft Fractures are usually more serious than a distal Radius fracture. As of now there is no info if both bones were fractured and if they are it will be minimum 8 weeks till he returns to full duty.

Even if it is an isolated Ulna fracture he will still be out 8 weeks.

Broken bone and fracture are the same thing...

How do I know this? I've taken grade 4 science.

 

[HarrisonFord]

Going to be Connolly

 

[member 147413]

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

A fracture is a crack in the bone, a broken bone means the bone was snapped.

edit: Guess I'm wrong...

None taken lol, I mean I can't defend her on it she didnt take care of herself after she injured herself, and even the injury was brought on by her own stupidty, she thought it would be brilliant to carry a 70lb vaccum down a set of stairs well she ended up tripping and bouncing her arm off the landing end boards.

I think you slide JVR up and kadri up and bring in Frattin for third line.

 

[Ari91]

At best 3-4 weeks. At worst 6-8.

That's what I'm thinking. I'm guessing he'll be back by mid or late February.

Edit: Meant back late February, early March.

 

[Once]

I still remember Carlyle saying "[Connolly] he will be around again"

 

[Erdinger]

A fracture is a crack in the bone, a broken bone means the bone was snapped.

I doubt any orthopedic surgeon refers to fractured bones as "broken".

 

[Erdinger]

Going to be Connolly

Stop trolling me.

I think you slide JVR up and kadri up and bring in Frattin for third line.

I think you don't even try to take out JvR from that Grabo line.

Kulemin and JvR have something going.

MacArthur practiced with Kessel/Bozie so he'll be going up with Connolly/Frattin on Kadri's line.

That sounds right to me.

 

[Scoogs]

It would be a shame if Connolly gets the call up before Frattin does. Fratts is exactly what we need.

Put Connoly on this team and watch how fast it goes in the sewer.
