Injury Report: Murray & Parros practicing with the team (no contact) Oct. 25

[PsychoticHab]

The mood swings on this board are quite dramatic.

This has to be more most bipolar fanbase in the league. The least little bad thing happens and a chunk of the posters go into a state of psychosis and lose complete touch with reality.

I think has more to do with internet users than our fanbase. Go to the Leafs board, they say the same thing.

Is it too late to bring back Armstrong

I think it's mostly a different crowd that comes out when we're losing.

 

[OpenIceHit]

MB needs to start ringing the phones, this is hurting the habs, no beef in line up again,

can't afford to slip down the standings, can't make that up,

ring those phones, and see what is out there

This. Going 4 to 6 weeks with this line up is not the best thing to clinch a playoff spot.

I hope you are right. I guess the anonymity associated with being on an internet forum does allow a person to say or claim things they would not normally if their name was associated with it. More outlandish claims are easier to make that way.

I think it's mostly a different crowd that comes out when we're losing.

True, there are definitely people that come out when the Habs lose that you wouldn't see otherwise. I just wonder why they bother calling themselves fan and being on this forum if inventing problems is all they end up doing.


Sure these injuries suck and the team is far from perfect but calling for everyone's head seems useless and unfounded to me.

I imagine Parros should be back any day, same with Murray. Brière's concussion might not be too serious and we all know about Max's healing powers. Things are not as bleak as they seem.

exactly, in a matter of weeks, everything will be replaced. This is a huge opportunity for some young guys though

Thats what im most excited about

no more of these panic trades please, we got stuck with kaberle last time

lets some kids PLAY, this is GREAT

 

[DJ Breadman]

Also when things are going well people generally don't say much, but when things are going bad they come here to complain

And we've only lost one game after a nice 4-game win streak.

And we've only lost one game after a nice 4-game win streak.

And that's exactly why! The Bouillon/Desharnais/Moen/Brière/MT/Bergevin/etc. haters were starving.

Still, those injuries suck big time. At least, we're not in a 42 games season. I can't wait to see the Habs with the full D-corp. Emelin and Murray instead of Bouillon-Tinordi will be something else.

Also, we should have Prust, Parros, Emelin and Murray ready for the next game against Toronto (Nov. 30). That will be interesting.

 

[Bieber fever]

So prust has a shoulder made of glass ? can he gets a surgery or whatever is necessary to fix this once for all

 

[habsfan22]

Apparently it's the other shoulder this time, so really, it's a whole new injury, unrelated to the one last season.

 

[sampollock]

This. Going 4 to 6 weeks with this line up is not the best thing to clinch a playoff spot.

that is for sure, this team can't afford to drop many games in 6 weeks, or we will have a large hole to get out of.

 

[Hackett]

I love the way Prust competes, but I find myself cringing at times when he goes all out into the boards. This isn't his first shoulder problem and it probably won't be his last. It's just part of the package with Prust and we just have to deal with it. Habs will miss his versatility especially during this time of injury woes

 

[habsfanatics*]

I feel like losing Briere is an addition by subtraction. He won't be missed, he is done as a good hockey player. He's terrible defensively, doesn't score and needs sheltering from other teams good players. Losing him does not hurt the team even a little bit. Not to say I wish him poor health, I hope he recovers fine in the end, but I don't think losing him will even be noticed.

 

[Habs]

Alright. If you are sure about it, can you prove it in any way, shape, or form?

Some form of evidence would be a nice addition to your assumption. It would give it some traction in terms of establishing it as a legitimate argument.

I look at our man games lost, and previous injury record. I'm not even going to dig past this season, but look at what happens when players end up here :

- Prust never missed a game in NY, comes here and here comes the injuries.
- Briere averages 75 games a year in Philly. Montreal - concussion 8 games in.
- Gionta was practically an iron man in NJ - injury riddled in Montreal

This team gets a lot of injuries because they ask players to fill a role they can't deliver on. It won't be long before Gallagher gets a nasty injury from playing outside his physical limits. You have to fill in the gaps on a small team with size at some point, Montreal has failed on this for years and years now. If your key players are big enough, I believe you will be fine. Montreal relies on small key players, they are not going to fair well unless they can pad them somewhere along the way.

I'm not saying I'm 100% right, but I believe it's a big part of the injuries we endure. You can't ask the small players to play 'big'.

 

[deandebean]

Prust is the new Benoit Brunet?

 

[Team_Spirit]

25% of the cap is on the injury list. -98.5

 

[Whitesnake]

I usually do, but I've been on vacation for the past week and haven't kept up with much. Give me a little while to get back in the swing of things and it'll be updated

Hey no problem. I never really visited that thread so was really just wondering how it worked.

The pure, pragmatic hockey-analyst in me agrees with you. But my nice-guy side feels bad that the under-performing, overpaid, brittle eight games we just witnessed may be Briere's final legacy.

None of us wanted to be this right about him.

 

[RealityBytes]

I imagine Parros should be back any day, same with Murray. Brière's concussion might not be too serious and we all know about Max's healing powers. Things are not as bleak as they seem.

According to what is posted on NHL.com today ... "While Emelin, Murray and Parros are skating, coach Michel Therrien said none of them will be returning "in the short term."

[sampollock]

I fear we need lots of work effort. As the scoring will drop off.

 

[Uber Coca]

We're fine as long as Subban, Price and the kid line are healthy.
