Injury Report: The Eddy Punch Clock Memorial Infirmary Thread

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Man. Hughes and Myers both missing from practice...ugly news if they’re injured. Critical blow if Hughes is down for any length of time.

 

[Fire Benning]

Think we are officially in multiple alarm fire territory.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

I'd say were pretty much boned if we're missing Hughes and Markstrom for significant time..As a lifelong Canuck fan, you just expect this kind of news...Par for the course really.

 

[Hansen]

That is so not good

He underwent a procedure and will be reevaluated in two weeks. But no change from the initial forecast of 3-4 weeks, I believe.

Alex had a really good radio segment discussing the procedure more generally, and his own experience with it. Nothing specific to Marky though. iirc basic outline is pain management/swelling reduction for the next little while, hope it heals well and no floaty bits left behind.

Eye surgery optional

Delete - too toxic

I know, I know, getting soft

 

[Wo Yorfat]

Had an incredible run of good health for meaningful players. Bound to even out a bit.

Wait was the procedure on his knee or his eye? I thought it was trimming out the meniscus tear (which sounds horrendous and like it is going to take away from the stability of that part)

Knee

trimming and removing any loose bits, which bits can move around and cause inflamation/pain if not removed. Alex indicated it is very minimally invasive

Alex indicated on the radio he got his own surgery done the day after he came back from world's, and did the eye surgery at around the same time because you are sitting around recovering anyway, might as well kill two birds with one stone

 

[Fire Benning]

just got some insider information about the injury situation

Are you Brandon Benning??

 

[FreeMcdavid]

Hughes is going for a skate after the practice, hes lacing em up now in the dressing room according to Batch

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Any injury updates on Myers and Beagle?

 

[Tables of Stats]

Boeser seems to be getting closer. He's skating again at least and that's a good sign.

 

[Interior Cascadian]

Sportsnet reports that Boeser was skating in a full contact jersey too. Even more encouraging that he'll be back soon.

Wonderful. Maybe we can outscore our terrible defense and still make playoffs...?

 

[Theodore450]

Any news on Markstrom ?

Any news on Markstrom ?

Sat Shaw is speculating that it's going to be another couple of weeks. But... speculation.

 

[Phil Brooks]

Umm...Boeser to play tonight. Suppose to be out 8 weeks, only been 4. This medical staff is making it really tough for me to have any confidence whatsoever in what they do

Human bodies are not robots...Timelines for injuries can take a turn for the worse,or for the better...Its better to take them with a grain of salt.

Not only that, but the 8 week announcement was before the trade deadline. By having Boeser out, it gave them a lot more cap space to make moves. They didn’t end up using it, but if they had, I would bet Boeser might have magically been back for playoffs Game 1 (knock on wood).

Same. I would not be surprised if it were discovered later that he was rushed back. That's a huge difference in his timeline for return.

Came here to say the same thing.

This medical staff has a track record of mismanaging players injuries.

The team is desperate to make the playoffs right now and I am almost certain that Boeser is being rushed back and may end up re-aggravating his injury, transforming it from something that would've healed completely to something that becomes a nagging issue moving forward, even into next season and the future.
