Injury Report: Price/Carr/Flynn/Petry/DD/ Gilbert done for season

[PsychoticHab]

Where did you see that? He's on the ice practicing with the team today...

TSN reported that today but you are also correct in that he practiced with the team today so I have no idea what that means for him against Nashville.

 

[Sterling Archer]

We should've kept Halak in hindsight because he's never injured.

Wow. Post of the week.

Neither are Plecky and DD albeit for different reasons?
As our good friend Elton John aptly put it.

Shy away far away"

My biggest fear right now is that we fall out of a playoff spot by some point in January and we rush Carey back when he's not completely ready again only to aggravate the injury once again.

 

[BaseballCoach]

Is Petry concussed?

The way he was hit, I thought he got hit hard in the ribs/chest and not head.

I don't see that happening. They're not going to mess with that injury. I could see the coach getting fired or us making a trade, but rushing Price back is not an option.

What are you talking about?
Just this season Halak missed a bunch of games.
Halak hasn't played more than 59 games since leaving montreal.
Every year he goes down.

 

[Justin11]

What is the latest on Petry? will he be available for the next game?

My, you're full of Christmas cheer, aren't you?

Is Dilbert on IR? There are two asterisks next to his name, on the Habs official site:

No announcement that I could find.

if gallagher being out of the lineup affects the team this much, then we have way bigger problems then we currently realize

It's impossible to see the impact of Gallagher's loss on the team because he went down while Price was hurt, it's reasonable to assess the poor play of the team as a result of the culmination of multiple injuries. We were going to regress regardless, it didn't help that Price got hurt, then Gallagher, now Petry, now who even ****ing knows

Not really. Gallagher is one of the best players on this team who was experiencing a career year. He brings something to the team that few players do.

Not to mention, he went down around the same time Price did. There's a lot of discussion about who the Canadiens truly miss more, but really, when any team loses two of their top 4 players, they will go down in the standings.

 

[Habs4ev*]

Gallagher is one of the best players on this team

that is a big red flag there

when any team loses two of their top 4 players, they will go down in the standings.

i don't agree with that at all, teams with good depth and good coaching could still at least maintain their position with a .500 record......you can't tell me its normal for a team to go 1-9 after losing 2 "so called" top 4 players.....no way, no how

[David Suzuki]

Gallagher back will be better then price tbh

I will just say this, I have underestimated Gallagher, I never thought in a million years he was that valuable to our team. He is a driving force for the offense, his intensity is contagious.

Carr is no where near Gallagher but he is always around the blue paint. Kind of explains why he is our leading goal scorer in December. Reading over that last sentence scares me.

 

[habalifeok]

Canadiens miss Gallagher far more than anyone realizes,their depth is not as great as everyone would like to think. Also having bottom six performing at an unsustainable rate early really skewed peoples views, although some realized it wouldnt last. They do not have replacements for Gallagher or Price. Top this all off with with the horrendus slump in goal scoring by the trio of forwards Pacioretty, Plekanec,Galchenyuk and the lack of goals from Subban and Markov just wth is everyone expecting??? Get those scoring and we might just win a few games and hang on till Gallagher and Price return.

Galchenyuk has not been slumping.

 

[Runner77]

Since Gilbert was taken out last game and did not return, one can only assume that he is still injured as the Habs have added an IR notice next to his name on their site. Doesn't IR mean a player is out for a minimum of 7 days?

 

[Dabest]

when is gallagher back

 

[Runner77]

when is gallagher back

Nothing official yet. It's believed he's targeting the Classic.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Could Price play in the classic? Doubtful, right?
