Bison not strong enough. It's hard to find a good Mastadon these days.
I blame sabre-toothed cats, those Predators! We've run out of Suter-spare parts...

A lot of people are about to realize just how dumb they look when they ***** about Suter.
needing surgery would likely make the recovery longer.
You can't play hockey with a metal rod in your leg, the bone is weaker, which means another surgery to remove later as well. After it heals though, the bone will be stronger than it was before.
Nino played on his after 3 weeks. Coyle had surgery and missed just under 6 weeks.I think it's 6-8 weeks without surgery
And neither are where they usually are. Nino came back several times only to re-injure his ankle.Nino played on his after 3 weeks. Coyle had surgery and missed just under 6 weeks.
Good thing Suter is recovering in the offseason.And neither are where they usually are. Nino came back several times only to re-injure his ankle.
The fibula is the long, skinny bone of the outer lower leg that attaches to the femur of the upper leg and the talus of the foot. The fibular runs alongside the tibia, or shin bone.
Niederreiter originally suffered a left high-ankle sprain during a win against the Chicago Blackhawks on Oct. 12 in the third game of the year. A high ankle, or syndesmosis, sprain typically involves forceful external rotation of the foot — turning the foot “out” — in combination with dorsiflexion (“bending” the ankle up).
These actions force the lateral and medial malleoli — the bone protrusions just above the foot — apart and can cause damage to the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament and the other ligaments that hold the ankle together.
If the force is great enough, a high ankle sprain can also cause a fracture of the fibula, typically in one of two places. A Pott’s fracture involves a break of the fibula down near the ankle, whereas a Maisonneuve’s fracture occurs closer up to the knee.
Despite being a bone in the lower leg, the fibula ultimately bears little weight during activity. Typically only 6.4 percent of a person’s body weight while they’re standing, though the percentage can increase or decrease based on the activity. The vast majority of the body’s weight is born by the tibia.
High ankle sprains are notoriously slow healers, often taking much longer to fully recover from than inversion (“rolling”) ankle sprains and fibular fractures typically take at least six weeks to fully heal. The difficulty with playing hockey with a high ankle sprain and fibular fracture is that the actions that more aggravate those injuries, foot external rotation and dorsiflexion progressing to plantarflexion (“bending” the foot down), are important movements for pushing off while skating.
Consistently pushing off while skating may not make the injuries worse, but may prolong the healing time.
As Niederreiter alluded to in his interview with Russo, his left ankle may not return to 100 percent until the offseason. His fibular fracture is likely all healed at this point and is probably receiving daily treatment for his high ankle sprain, but, at this point, Niederreiter’s playing time will likely be determined based on his on-ice performance and pain tolerance.
Coyle has been fine. He's basically become the new Vanek. You can't play him 3rd line minutes with an ever changing cast of 3rd and 4th liners, and then complain when he gives you 3rd line production. Nino came back once, scored a hat trick and then went back out of the lineup for 3 weeks. He's had stretches were he looked as good as ever. Not sure you can blame his inconsistency on his injury?And neither are where they usually are. Nino came back several times only to re-injure his ankle.
Nino came back after 3 weeks when they thought it was a bone bruise, not break. He then went out again when they saw it was a break.Nino played on his after 3 weeks. Coyle had surgery and missed just under 6 weeks.
He missed like 4 games when they thought it was a bruise. He missed the 3 weeks after they realized it was broken.Nino came back after 3 weeks when they thought it was a bone bruise, not break. He then went out again when they saw it was a break.
Boudreau is doing the exact opposite. He keeps saying nobody is going to cry for them. I really don’t see that he is throwing them a pity party.I've far more concerned with what this does to the spirit of the team. Boudreau seems to be already preparing for a pity party among the ranks.
Many teams have had unexpected success with a star player out. I'm not sure if Wild have the mental strength to be one of them.
That is much longer than 3 weeks from the initial injury.He missed like 4 games when they thought it was a bruise. He missed the 3 weeks after they realized it was broken.
People see what they want to see, and like to create their own narrative.Boudreau is doing the exact opposite. He keeps saying nobody is going to cry for them. I really don’t see that he is throwing them a pity party.
He also played games during that time. What's your point? I'm not trying to pretend that I know how long Suter will be out, just pointing out what happened to 2 guys with similar injuries.That is much longer than 3 weeks from the initial injury.
Let's just write in a "maybe" for the Western Conference Championship and be happy with anything earlier.He also played games during that time. What's your point? I'm not trying to pretend that I know how long Suter will be out, just pointing out what happened to 2 guys with similar injuries.
You might want to check your mathApparently the time table for Suter is going to be LONG. He can't put any weight on his ankle for 4 months. We're looking probably at mid-season next year before Suter is ready.
Suter is aiming for the start of the season. Knowing him, I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to pull that off.Apparently the time table for Suter is going to be LONG. He can't put any weight on his ankle for 4 months. We're looking probably at mid-season next year before Suter is ready.
