Sean Couturier Reportedly Re-Injures Right Knee

[Hollywood Cannon]

That’s good. I was thinking 6 weeks.


Only good things here is that Coots doesn’t need an MCL like the rest of us. And frost hopefully makes the team.


My treatment — Gudasectomy

Apparently it happened two weeks ago, so the six week timeline was correct.

Just remember: no one here has seen Sean Couturier’s medical records.

That’s quite true.

But prepare for when Couturier reinjures his knee a third time & a bunch of people on this board make the medical diagnosis that it wouldn’t have happened if only Hakstol played him 2 minutes less per game!

BTW, should Hakstol not play Couturier every game now in order to “protect” him from injury? Like how it was the end of the world Elliott played 23 straight?

Nothing earthshattering here.

That's before the season starts, so not too bad.

Big opportunity for Frost to get more reps with NHL wingers in the preseason.

I heard his leg fell off. RIP COOTS

Like others have said, if Couts does return by mid september and this injury doesn't affect him heading into the regular season, then this could just mean more time for prospects like Frost and Vorobyev, or older players trying to find a role in this league like Laughton and Weal to prove themselves in pre season games.

I can't help but think that if he had been playing in this offseason game as a 3C, where he belongs, this wouldn't have happened.

It's the curse of no bench press during the 2015 offseason (a.k.a when he selfishly went to the IIHF WHC instead)

So when do I get to start berating the medical and training staff, as is tradition?

Now is as good a time as any

Clearly they should have cut his knee open in May as a precaution.

 

[Curufinwe]

He got his collarbone broke by Ovechkin in the playoffs in 2016

That was a shoulder sprain. He said he could have come back in the second round if they had beaten the Caps.

"Freak injury"? Oh hell I have read this word on here already...

I don’t want to see any of the big guns play more than one of the first four preaseaon Games. There will still be four more after that for them to play in.

What a great post from Mr. Impartial.



I just heard the news. Sucks.

They should sit him out for 3 years to be safe instead of rushing him back again!!1!!one!!!

Proudest moment as a dad: my 10 yr old can recite this, and the Black Knight scenes, verbatim and with perfect mimickry of the accents.

I think I'll go for a walk.

He got five points with one leg last time, re injures knee, ten points next time
