Injury Report: Tavares out 3 weeks with oblique strain

[NewEraGM]

Leafs were extremely healthy last year with one of fewest man games lost so this a mean reversion

yeah that's how science works. If a player has healthy teammates in a particular season, they're more susceptible to injuries the following year

 

[DuklaNation]

Bump it to 6 weeks. If you don't manage it properly, it can linger a long time.

 

[Jojalu]

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

The Bills and Leafs always share such simular paths of self sabotage.

Some in their control. Some outside.

The end result is always fans being crushed.

This is referred to in medical journals as "The Lupul Principle"

 

[TMLeafer]

That's bad news, hopefully not something that lingers all year.

Didn’t Tavares have an oblique injury that made his skating stride look like Jason Allison’s father a couple of years ago? Not an amazing sign if you’re looking for a leaner, meaner and more mobile version of him.

nvm

 

[Brown Dog]

Next man up.

Holmberg 2C szn.

Get well soon, Captain.

I'm not too worried about this, overall. The team won't struggle too much with him out for a little while. And I still think JT is going to have a solid season coming up.

 

[paulhiggins]

Dubas better keep one extra guy on the roster for the job as Ferryman to Robidas Island. Looks like it might be a full-time job.

 

[Clark4Ever]

To be expected with age. Luckily it's not a long term issue.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Team is getting older .. back and stomach issues to be expected .. rest is really only remedy

We should have moved up in draft last year and got a true centre with speed .. minten is a winger in waiting

 

[Racer88]

Seems the team is falling apart. Did they sit around all summer drinking beer and eating wings. Now it’s time to work and they fall apart

 

[crump]

We start the season as underdogs.

• Pierre Engvall - non-serious foot injury that will keep him out for most of camp
• Timothy Liljegren - hernia surgery on the Friday before camp started
• Joseph Woll - injury lingering from last season
• John Tavares - oblique strain announced today, will keep him out for at least three weeks
• Adam Gaudette - shoulder injury announced Monday, considered day-to-day

Jake Muzzin - hasn’t practiced due to back soreness, but is expected to join in a limited way on Wednesday

A crazy thought here -- people get injured all the time while training.

I don't understand the vitriol on someone just getting injured. Sometimes it just happens.

Muzzin
Liljegren
Tavares

Tmrw I’m expecting Matthews wrists to bust themselves

how long they all out again?

Bookmarked, disagree. Minten has C written all over him.

You don't draft someone in the 20's and 30's to replace John Tavares.

Plus, Minten is a pure center.

Sure a person could get injured during training but we are up to 3 already and camp has just begun. Seems kinda high to me or is this just bad luck like our last 6 playoffs

Are you saying you think injury luck and playoff failures are somehow compareable? lol

Liljegren and Tavares, both pretty short term, are not serious problems for this org right now. Remember when it was Matthews wrist and we weren't sure when it would heal? That's when the alarm bells go off.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Sounds like an over training injury. I wouldn't worry. He's in good shape ready to go.
