Spezza out with groin injury

[Inf4mous0ne]

I'm just reporting what Yost said. I think it's a good discussion. Not sure I really believe it, but it's certainly an interesting approach to this injury.

How is that interesting? That's the easiest conspiracy to think of/go to.

I heard Spezza is nursing his 23rd vertebrae

It's not really a discussion if what we're discussing is pure speculation. Actually, I'd call it a load of BS.

Yeah, I wasn't criticizing you at all. It just seems that it's a fairly popular way of creating articles on that site.

"There is a popular opinion about something, and therefore I will propose/ speculate that this popular opinion is true"

I'm just saying: it isn't exactly pullitzer-prize-winning investigation/ journalism going on over there. Not that I would expect that from most sports journalism, but it's particularly epidemic around those parts.

I heard that Spezza doesnt actually have a bad back. He was diagnosed with the black plague

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Who's played better with Ryan so far? Spezza or Da Costa? Maybe seeing what Da Costa can do with Ryan is a good thing. I remember Anaheim posters saying Ryan has to be the "Guy" on his line most the time.

I heard that Spezza is actually a women, was experiencing morning sickness in preseason and got a home pregnancy kit.

Well it tested positive, the team let him off for the pre season but pushed Spezza into playing the first 2 games but after a doctors appointment and an ultra sound he is being give time off.

Now don't quote me on this but I do have sources close to an apparent doctor who may or may not be able to confirm this info.

Yost is becoming more and more of a hack. Why is it so hard to have decent media coverage of the Sens?

Anyway...he hasn't missed any games yet. What is more concerning to me is hearing that they're going to give Kassian a shot again over Da Costa. So stupid. It's the same thing every year -- a few talented players get bottom feeder minutes or don't get to play at all in place of some plug. We're going to end up losing Da Costa without ever giving him a chance.

On the Team 1200 today -

-Spezza says it's ok, MacLean says they might have to shut it down until it is 100%
-Pierre McGuire says - do it now, don't fool around with groin injuries.

 

[YNWA14]

Sounds like Spezza is trying hard to play. I'm guessing that he wants to play because of the captaincy and he wants to be there for his team whether he's 100% or not.

I say sit out and heal up. It's great to see he's willing to play through injury and still be effective, but I'd rather Spezza gets back to 100% while we give Da Costa a look.

 

[Indrew]

If the only way it'll heal is to shut it down, do it now. They can afford to have him miss 4 road games against the West. This is why they have Da Costa with them.

Ya he should sit until 100%.

It is so easy to pull it again, and it's not really an injury that you can play through. You feel it in every stride.

Well i guess DaCosta is going to be our #1 Center, LMFAO, as soon as the Turris line comes up LA is gonna match there top pairs agains them, but on the bright side it makes the game easier for Milo and Ryan, God i love having two effective scoring lines.

Edit

I honestly think Pageau should play with Ryan and Milo

 

[SenzZen]

This team has proven they can win without Spezza.

Rest up, Giggles.

Interesting fact - Spezza was originally offered the role of Mr. Glass in "Unbreakable" ultimately played by Samuel L. Jackson.

The casting director was quoted as saying "It's really quite amazing, he doesn't even seem to be acting in the role of a man plagued by injuries due to his extreme frailty"

Sit Spezza.

How is anyone surprised by this?

This is Spezza, he very rarely plays a full season (2011-2012 might be the only one even!)

I don't know.

Last year he made it what, 5 games in?

This year, 2 games in?

Next year, -1 games in?

Well he had been playing in Europe last year so it's not like he wasn't doing anything and suddenly got hurt

 

[the tribute]

So I heard Spezza pulled his groin.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

I have no problem with him being out 20-30 games.

That makes one of you

They are playing the kings its the right decision, the difference for the sens winning the game is not based on its 12th forward. Its based on its goaltending top d pair and first line. One game they were good for the most part and the sens won, one game they were bad they lost.

I am honestly just starting to think about a plan B around Spezza. Doesn't seem to matter how much time he takes off the injures something else or re injures his former injury. Incredible talent but the writing is on the wall, big player lots of hockey bad injury history.

 

[Magix]

Shame, Turris was doing so well. Hopefully he can still produce against top pairings and shutdown lines.


Good thing is we get to see if da costa has the chomps to play in the big leagues.

Well obviously when you don't quote the whole post.

You should be a news writer.
