Back, knee, foot/ankle etc...all of these injuries can put stress on other joints and muscles to try and compensate for or relieve pain from those ailments...the body is one big coordinated mechanism...there’s no question that in compensating for other weaknesses an athlete could put more pressure on a core or groin muscle...I don’t see injuries as completely separate entities
Mate there's just something off putting about this team and the constant injuries and call this tin-foil hat stuff or not..but given the Galchenyuk news and how Dupuis hid his injury and how that sort of stuff is still going on, I am starting to wonder how many players on this team, continue to play through injuries that should be holding them out of the line-up to get properly healthy and how much of it has to do with some sort of mentality in the dressing room like "Oh cool, you're hurt, so are the rest of us, suck it up!"
Because an existing back issue, has core surgery, has existing back issue bother him now too?
Chucky had an injury, hid it, didn't get better, kept playing through it, why? He was already out to start the year, what was waiting a little longer to be healthy going to do?
I also remember Dumoulin being hurt and being back way too early and then looked really terrible for a while before he sort of leveled out. I think that was last year or this year?
Schultz has had it happen 2-3yrs in a row now.
Horny had a concussion or two and I think it was like a span of 2-3 months having it and he came back?
Something isn't right and I am wondering if it's some sort of culture issue of just the perception of being hurt.
