I'm guessing we knew Marty wasn't 100 percent from the start, but we were hoping he wouldn't have to be 100 percent to be effective in his role. After four games, it became clear that Marty at less than 100 percent isn't very effective. So, better to get Marty to 100 percent and have him strong for the second half that to have 75 percent Marty chasing the play for six months.
Exactly this, and after seeing how some of the others (notably Haula) have been on the kill which is one of his better roles they said "hey, get this fixed, we'll need you even more when we're in the playoff push". Goat and Bishop both having strong pre seasons definitely doesn't hurt either. We have the depth to make it work.

The PK in general has been pretty good. But through 4 games Haula has actually been the second least effective forward. Only two forwards have been on the ice for 2 goals against the PK—Foegele and Haula.

Feel like there's a Marty Mcfly gif/meme appropriate for this.

Twisted optimism: this is the kind of injury an organization with a deep talent pool doesn't hate, because it gives them a chance to take stock of the kids who've been shining with the minor league team.

Looking forward to seeing which man/men step up and show that we can pencil them into next year's starting lineup.

Probably the worst thing about hernias is that once the muscle wall is torn, sometimes it just never regains its strength again. There's only so much that surgery and recovery can do... a lot of athletes just can't get away from recurrences and that's all she wrote for their career. Hopefully the length of this IR assignment means they're giving him the best possible chance at a total recovery before it becomes a chronic thing.

Well, not to over share, but I'm scheduled for hernia surgery in late November. It is a result of an appendectomy that I had over 10 years ago. Apparently, the area of the abdominal wall right next to the scar tissue (the surgery was done laparoscopically) is a point of weakness. Over time the tissue beneath the abdominal wall pushes through, often due to physical exertion, but it can also just happen because of every day life.

When the tear (that's essentially what the hernia is to my understanding) is repaired, they now add some sort of "mesh" over the new repair to strengthen the previously weakened area as well as the newly repaired area. I'm assuming they do that to help keep the problem from recurring. Post surgery, there's 6 weeks of limited activity, so I would assume that this is closer to an 8 to 10 week situation.

After practice head coach Rod Brind'Amour said that the #Canes will miss Martinook's
ability of how he rallies the team together. Also said he hasn't given any thought
yet to handing out another 'A' in Martinook's absence .

Marty's Injury: This could be quite serious because this area is involved with
critical movement types for a Pro Hockey. Hope his recovery is speedy!
Third degree Tear or Strain of Abdominal Muscle:

This is the most complicated form of a muscle strain in which there is complete rupture of the muscle and may require surgical correction to restore normalcy of the muscle.
What is the Recovery Period for Abdominal Muscle Tear?

The recovery period for Abdominal Muscle Tear or Strain depends on the severity of the strain. In cases of a first degree tear or strain of the abdominal muscle, the recovery time is usually three weeks before returning to normal activity. In cases of a second degree tear or strain of the abdominal muscle the recovery period is normally six to seven weeks before returning to normal activity. For the more severe third degree tear of the abdominal muscle the recovery period is much longer and may take up to four months before the individual can return to normal activity after having an Abdominal Muscle Tear or Strain.

The abdominal muscles are situated around the abdomen
and the trunk and form the core muscles of the body.

Canes have (by some outlets like EliteProspects) the #3 prospect pool in the entire league, and at worst the #8 pool (Pronman). They certainly are considerably deeper and more loaded than any contending outfit, which means that they can truly play the "next man up" game.

That's what I thought too. Give Marty's A to Aho or Pesce imo
Dougie, I would think, gets the A.
I'll be really excited to see Goat back up. I felt he really belonged up here, just the #'s weren't there. I hope he plays really smart, and doesn't try to do more than he's comfortable with. Pushing too hard could be his undoing. His natural talent and size should serve him well.

Yep. I’ve had sports hernias on both sides and both times the mesh was on the table if it needed surgery. Fortunately both were mild enough to heal on their own.

I expect Marty will be fine as long as the surgery goes to plan and as long as they don’t rush him back.
