Injury Report: Ryan McDonagh (11/25: Practicing in full)

[eco's bones]

Doesn't Boyle come back soon? next week?

He's been skating. He hasn't been able to do too much as far as shooting or passing yet. Don't think he's been practicing with the team. I'm figuring a couple weeks anyway.

 

[McDonagh]

Welcome back, Mr. Eminger and Mr. Woywitka

Was Callahan's shoulder injury from the fight in 2013 a dislocation or separation? Asking because he didn't require surgery but it seemed like he wasn't the same player the rest of the year. I remember reading they had to pop his shoulder back in multiple times during the year before he finally got surgery after the season.

 

[Capitain Midnight]

I'm not a doctor but I have seen really varying ranges to return from a sep shoulder.

It's not good. And the worst case is bad. But without knowing the severity its early to panic.

As a sports medicine doctor, it really depends on how much loss of motion he has and if the ligaments are torn. He wil likely get an MRI on the shoulder and we won't know until this is done. He is likely out for a couple weeks if he did seperate it. He will need a SAWA brace to play in the short term if no surgery.

Mcilrath gets his shot and sticks BOOK IT

If he sticks then who is out on the right side? Klein? Or r we going to put the rookie on his off side and take out Moore?

Kostka?

We need two defensemen, not one. So unless Slats pulls deals for two, both Allen and McIlrath should be called up ASAP.

It's not that easy. Moore counts against the roster limit and thus right now we could only call up one player until McD and/or Klein are placed on IR. But obviously they'll be evaluated first.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I'm guessing a month for Mcd :/... klein SHOULD be DTD unless they find something broken

Honestly, I don't actually see him sticking unless Boyle or Klein (when healthy) can play the left side.
McDonagh Girardi
Staal Klein
Boyle Mcilrath ?

I have no idea... But I don't see Mcilrath or Allen sticking unless Kleins injury is long term and we trade Moore for a draft pick or staal for the big over the hump top 6 guy we've been looking for. Not much room on defense right now

Well I'd say it's a lock that Mac will be placed on IR even in a best case scenario, so that's really not much of an issue.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

This is why we lock up staal because****like this happens.

 

[bigbuffalo313]

I read ankle contusion as ankle concussion and thought we were going to have another Nash groin concussion thread

 

[broadwayblue]

Yeah, I never got why so many people were clamoring to deal a dman. A guy or two go down with injury and the depth is desperately needed.

I'll be ecstatic if it's a month for McD.

 

[lettuceAA]

Any word on when Stephan will return this week?

iirc it was "subluxed."

Vigneault says 3-4 weeks for McDonagh. That's their hope for now. And not sure yet on Klein's timetable. Still some swelling

Better then 6 months

I had a grade 3 shoulder separation last april in playoffs, didn't get surgery. 5 months later it still bothers me. Been playing college hockey and it can withstand a physical game but still bothers me after every game. Long term I'd suggest McD to get surgery. Fix it now before he completely deteriorates it

I definitely hear what you're saying, but 3-4 weeks doesn't sound like grade 3...

Means the MRI showed today he doesn't need surgery. Great news, there.

 

[NYRFAN218]

I'm just worried about the injury lingering through the year. Hopefully it doesn't.
