wtf

Injuries piling up and we haven't even started the season

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Jesus Christ. Start to this season is extremely garbage. Get well soon JT.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

3 weeks is not good. I mean it's not the playoffs right now, but you do want your horses to have no physical issues going into the beginning of the season

 

[Sergei Berezin]

Wonder if this means someone like Holmberg will have an inside edge to start with the Leafs. Sucks JT will miss the home opener. Always nice to have a full and healthy squad for that.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Perhaps Holmberg will get a longer look...

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Seems to happen a lot with us. A player misses a practice with a "minor" injury that they end up missing a month for lol

 

[Ianturnedbull]

If we go by this timeframe Tavares will miss 3 Reg. season games. Maybe 4.

 

[6ix]

He’s done. Perfect excuse when he doesn’t put up good numbers this year.

 

[Buds17]

Apparently, the best trade can sometimes be the one not made (re: cap issues and the potentially related issue of having too many forwards). It's obviously not good to be missing the team captain and a top forward for whatever this spell of time ends up being.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

As was mentioned...

 

[Darcy Tucker]

This throws a monkey wrench into things.

I can see now why Keefe is starting to lose it at practice.

Tmrw I’m expecting Matthews wrists to bust themselves

Muzzin's ready for Wednesday.

 

[Marshy]

Some bubble guys get a longer look. Not the worst possible outcome if JT misses 3-4 games. Better now than later. Get well soon Johnny.

 

[Nooodles]

Wtf is that?

 

[Fogelhund]

The hits keep coming.. is he going to be out long enough for LTIR? That seems to be the biggest question. It doesn't sound like it.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Yikes.
We can't have too many guys missing camp. We can only replace them with inferior players and if the regulars are out of sync when they return we could be dropping valuable points for an extended period.

Don't jinx Matthews, he's throwing out the first pitch at the Jays game. First ever hockey player to ever need Tommy John with our luck. Lmao

 

[Niagara Bill]

Where are all the fans cheering he was playing lighter weight and faster.
Like Muzzin, and hopefully not Gio, we will face more injuries with age and minutes.
Our d is already suffering.
If Sandin and Robertson are busts we are potentially in trouble.

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

If we go by this timeframe Tavares will miss 3 Reg. season games. Maybe 4.

I'll have to lower my prediction from 90 goals to 85.

 

[PromisedLand]

This throws a monkey wrench into things.

I can see now why Keefe is starting to lose it at practice.

I haven’t been following much this season. Did Keefe really lose his cool at practice?

 

[ACC1224]

I'm guessing that means he will miss Opening Night presented by The Dairy Farmers of Ontario?
