Injury Report: Mark Giordano, torn bicep.UPDATE 3: Basically 100%

[CraigsList]

My guess is 1-2 weeks.

 

[Calculon]

Goodbye season.

 

[Lunatik]

Giordano needs surgery for a torn bicep muscle per Friedman

Our season is done.

 

[CraigsList]

Wow... Unbelievable.

 

[DCDM]

Gio will have surgery on a torn bicep tendon, according to Treliving.

Lol.

 

[Anglesmith]

 

[Rangediddy]

NOOO!!!

Devastating

 

[Lunatik]

4-5 months recovery time.

 

[Flamesarmstrong22]

Baertchi gone to the canucks for a 2nd and gio done for the season…
Worst deadline ever!!!

 

[MC Ride]

Well boys say bye bye to the playoffs.

[Calculon]

Goodbye Norris trophy.

From the presser:
-Also Giordano done for the season; torn bicep; see injury thread
-Surgery on Wednesday; 4 to 5 months rehab process
-Can't replace Giordano
-Urgency to do something has to be matched by not doing something stupid
-Mark devastated by the news
-Talked to each other; haven't done a good job at cheering each other up

 

[Taranis]

Oh jeezes.... my emotions my emotions.

 

[Rangediddy]

Hopefully Wotherspoon can really step up and make the rest of the season his statement for making the team next year full time.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Out 4-5 months eh?

Stanley Cup Finals go to June, don't they? That's 4 months...

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Time for Brodie to step it up.

 

[Lunatik]

So deflating.

 

[MC Ride]

Optimistically

McDavid
Bennet
Monahan

is a very very good center core.

 

[DCDM]

Optimistically

McDavid
Bennet
Monahan

is a very very good center core.

I'd actually enjoy it very much if we won the lottery and didn't tank to do it.

 

[Calculon]

With Giordano out longterm, they should have sold completely. They'll probably be picking in the top ten anyway.

Sold who? Everyone is under contract for next year. Why throw away next year too?

Believe it or not, I don't think anyone would disagree with that statement

Monaghan's too good for 3rd line. But not a bad problem to have at all

It would be pure justice for a team that actually deserves it!
