Isn't that fairly common in goalies?

Isn't that fairly common in goalies?

Yes, especially butterfly goalies.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Yes, especially butterfly goalies.

Is this a danger to his development?

Guess that explains why he didn't play in the playoffs for HFD.

 

[MacTruck27]

maybe we should hang on to talbot for a while...

 

[haohmaru]

This impacts the likelihood of Talbot being traded.

Not really
We are going to have to find an NHL regular backup G anyways (for around 1M)
Desjardins will be back next season after his injury and is a Quality keeper (AHL starter/NHL second backup option)
Skapski is number four on The depth chart right now
And will be back in October/November

I don't believe it should affect his development at all. He loses a few months here, but he's got all the tools, and skill and is SO young still.

 

[Miamipuck]

Shouldn't they have shut him down earlier? He was out a month anyway, just go and get the procedure done so he can start next season the correct way.

 

[Vitto79]

Not worried he can rest in the offseason. Plus they have the vet minor league goalie, his name slips my mind but he will be back and healthy.

Trade Talbot for a 2nd already

 

[RangerFan23]

Hope to god this isn't used as an excuse to not sell high on Talbot.

He actually came in to relieve Danis during the Manchester series

That's what I meant, I didn't outright say it, but he was out a month and then they threw him in at the end of this series. It seems like time wise, they robbed Peter to pay Paul.

 

[arab27]

This has no effect on a Talbot trade, as Skapski is not ready. We will have to sign a vet to a deal who is a UFA.

Skapski is also probably our 3rd ranked prospect between the pipes. But all are to young, especially when I am sure management will want a goalie to come in to give Hank rest.

If Talbot is traded, look for guys like Gustavson, or Laberara spelling wrong on both those name I believe but to lazy to look.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Even our 3rd string goalie is injured? what the ****

You're right. It was a poor organizational decision

Probably held off for insurance in case Hank or Talbot got hurt in the playoffs. Danis was only on an AHL deal and I think the only other guy on an NHL contract was Missiaen.

Playing with six skaters and an empty net would have been a better idea than playing a 20 year old AHL goalie.

This sounds pretty serious. I can't believe he played in a game with this injury.

It's a pinching sensation when doing quick turns, it hurts but you can play through it f need be.

Plenty of goalies have had this surgery - JS Giguere, Tim Thomas, Niklas Backstrom, Vesa Toskala, Patrick Roy, Josh Harding, Antero Niitimaki, Ray Emery, Craig Anderson to name a few.

Hey hey hey are you trying to see if we actually read your examples?

 

[GOAT AINEC]

He will be fine.

But were any of those goalies out into game situations when their team knew about the injury?

Most likely, yes. You can play through it.

Pretty sure I have a tear on the right side, because it hurts all the time if I move my hip a certain way, flair my butterfly, and especially after games.

We don't even know when Skapski tore it do we?
