Ugh... this better not be a trend. I think I saw him block a shot with his hand Monday night. Can't remember if it was Brodie, but it would make sense that it was, he took it square on the palm.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I think I saw it might only be 2-4. I don't think it will be much more than 2, T.J. is a tough SOB and a farm boy.

Hopefully you're right. the season starts in 2 weeks, so he could miss almost no time at all.

Oh man.. That sucks.. Lucky the season hasn't started and we have Hamilton to pick up that slack.. Hopefully a speedy recovery..

 

[Ynnek]

No big deal at least its early. At least we know who the top 4 will be to start the season.

 

[tmurfin]

The biggest thing is that he has ample time to heal. There's no need to rush him, a lingering hand issue could seriously hamper his season if he tries to rush it.

Season over TANK FOR MATTHEWS

 

[Turning Mangiapanese]

Sucks, but it's not for that long and with the additions of Hamilton, Nakladal, Morrison etc. there should be no need for panic moves.

 

[Rangediddy]

If it was from him blocking that shot with his hand, that makes him and Bouma with broken hands from blocking with their palms. I hope Hartley finds a way to address that.

 

[RedHot]

Could be worse. Half the time will be preseason, and we acquired a top pairing d this offseason.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Fortunately it's the start of the season and we're 2 weeks away from the start of the regular season so best case he misses a week and at worse, the first month.

 

[Anglesmith]

We needed injuries to clear up the forward log-jam, not defence.

 

[Taranis]

It begins already eh?

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

At least Engelland won't be in top 4 this time. Hopefully anyways.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

I'd rather this happen in training camp then when the Flames are making a playoff push like Giordano last season. Impact will be minimal. Gives some of our younger D guys a chance to show what they got.

Hamilton trade is paying off already. If he wasn't here, Brodie's absence would hurt a lot more.

 

[AgeOfBennett]

although it sucks he is injured I think this gives Gio and Hamilton to get some good chemistry going together. defense could look like

Gio - Hamilton
Russell - Wideman
Wotherspoon/Nakladal - Engelland

Get power gloves!

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Hartley can't do a thing about it. If he gets hurt blocking the puck with his hand he's hurt , he can suggest something but can't force them to do anything about it. Just like those foot protector things. Feaster got the team to do it, but under an agreement with the NHLPA he wasn't allowed to do that. Same thing with etc. The players are the ones with the power about equipment, mostly.

I drank NyQuil before bed and it's only been 3.5 hours please tell me this is a nightmare or that I'm still NyQuil drunk

You're still NyQuil drunk and Brodie still has a broken hand.
