Injury Report: Shane Doan Cleared to Return

[TickleMeYandle]

Channel 3 has reported that it's not the flu and he's undergone blood tests. In the meantime, he's in quite a bit of pain and could be out for a while.

I hope he's OK! It's just not the same without the captain.

I have no idea what that means, so I won't speculate. Hopefully it's nothing major and he's feeling fit soon.

 

[Summer Rose]

Oh dear.

Get well soon, Saint Shane.

 

[PHX FireBirds18]

Almost sounds like some kind of staph infection. Get better Shane.

 

[CC96]

Woah, that's rough. Sounds a lot worse than a typical case of the flu.

 

[Lyotes]

I wonder if it is related to his off season surgery.

 

[moosemeister]

Oh man, I hope for a speedy recovery. I wondered why he wasn't playing. Very unDoaner like to sit out for a flu.

 

[JTPoni23]

Don't tell the main board. They'll think he's faking.

I really hope he's back for next week's Atlantic division road trip. Really wanted to see him beat that sad excuse of a captain in Toronto in person.

My aunt got this from her hip surgery- VERY painful, ended up being MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is caused by a strain of staph bacteria that's become resistant to the antibiotics commonly used to treat ordinary staph infections).

Remember this is just an opinion and speculation, NOTHING about my statement should be construed to suggest that Doan has this.

You know it has to be pretty bad to sideline him this long.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

From the team website - and this is...not what one wants to read:

“He’s still not going to be available for the foreseeable future,†Tippett said of Doan, who leads the team with 12 goals and is tied for second with 23 points. “He’s still getting some tests done so hopefully it’s not long-term.â€

 

[doaner]

Guess that speeds up a move quite a bit.

 

[ScarTroy]

Wishing Doan a speedy recovery. He's a great captain and a great guy in general.

Yes very painful. My brother got it and he couldn't move a muscle without whimpering in pain. Very scary stuff. I just remember tons of blood tests which is pretty common for any hospital visit really. It would make sense because it takes a while to get rid of it and it can normally be contracted through an open wound. Which all hockey players have.

stumbled on this at the end of the cbssports.com recap of the Isles game...a little better:

" But the Coyotes settled down the rest of the way amid some reason for optimism for the Coyotes regarding Doan, who has undergone a series of tests since being sidelined.

Coyotes Coach Dave Tippett said it was possible he will accompany the team on a trip to eastern Canada starting Tuesday. "

That's very good news!

sounds serious, get better Captain

 

[Redcoyote]

no new news on this? I sure hope this isn't long term

It sounds like they misdiagnosed it for some run of the mill illness at first, then discovered it was something more dangerous. I sure hope it wont' last much longer than this up-coming road-trip, if at all. But it's not looking good for a quick return to line-up.

Thought someone mentioned that.

 

[slocal]

That sucks, but it's certainly better than the rumors that some people were starting to circulate. Heal up Shane!

 

[Howler Scores]

Yep and looks serious if not treated quickly. I am sure Shane will ride again though.

 

[awfulwaffle]

I wonder if they were able to catch it fairly early(hopefully). Best wishes, and get well soon Captain Coyote!

 

[mouser]

Heard it being discussed on the radio this afternoon. Get well soon Shane.
