Injury Report: Massive, All-Encompassing Injury Thread (Neal, Bennett, Scuderi, Kobasew)

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

That Cup in '09 was awesome, but making a deal with the Devil has really been biting us in the ass these past few years.

 

[Shady Machine]

any update on Neal's injury? Fantasy owners are very concerned/furious about this as we had no chance to prepare. Don't care if he's ok in May, I want him back now!

He had concussion problems at the end of last season. Is that what this mysterious "upper-body" injury is?

Rattled...

We are all very sorry for you.

 

[Shady Machine]

still no news?!

Give it a rest man. We don't give a **** about your fantasy team.

 

[Richard]

I would hate to be a young guy under Disco. In fact, I'd request a trade.

Saw some stuff floating in the twitter verse that Neal was injured in a fight after the Bucs game, that is all just people trying to be funny right?

There is no information available from the team (the only source you should trust), and if this is about your fantasy hockey team (since you appear to be a Caps fan), please take it to the Fantasy Hockey thread.

Did he get into a fight with Matt Latos's wife?

"Neal (upper-body) is a game-time decision for tonight's game, per coach Bylsma #Pens"

 

[Sam Spade]

Did he get into a fight with Matt Latos's wife?

Not sure if you are serious. Anyway I just some random tweets, then saw he wasn't playing and it said injury did not happen on the ice.

Not fantasy hockey related just curious as I follow the Pens pretty closely and post here often.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Hopefully he plays. The fact that he is a game-time decision is a good piece of news by itself.

This is his injury thread where we're supposed to get updates on his status. It's not about fantasy hockey it's about James Neal's status.

Jesus

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

If he couldn't do the morning skate, I'd rather he not play tonight. It is game 1, we can manage.

Most definitely. I want them to play it safe.

But most likely he's out long-term and indefinitely..

 

[Vujtek]

Neal is IN the lineup!

 

[Horace]

So exciting!!

Very surprising

 

[Horace]

what happened?

well it's apparent he should not have been playing... so ******

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Honestly good on Neal for trying but also for realizing that he still isn't 100% and leaving.

It's better he rest now rather than having him keep playing tonight and running the risk of really making whatever his problem is worse.

Who's to say he didn't aggravate it? I did not hear he left voluntarily

 

[Darth Vitale]

Wiffle Ball... it's dangerous. â„¢

I believe James Neal is the first hockey player ever to receive an upper body injury playing ice-wiffle.
Maybe next time you crazies will listen to Darth.

 

[vodeni]

this was lower body injury, at least 6-8 weeks

 

[Prospector]

Source?

 

[Darth Vitale]

Yah... source? But if true all I can say is figures he'd get an injury different than the one that kept him out of practice. WTF.

 

[vodeni]

source: I thought the guy rolled over his ankle, he was pulled out right after that

 

[orby]

per Bylsma Neal doesn't have a new injury, this is still the same upper-body problem that was bothering him before. Not sure why he was in the lineup, then, but whatever...

 

[shureshot66]

Not a lower-body injury.

Gave it a go. Didn't feel great. They chose to sit him after that rather than risk making it worse.

Not wild they dressed him to begin with, but it's not a new injury.
