Injury Report: The Eddy Punch Clock Memorial Infirmary Thread

[SillyRabbit]

I recently read a study on soccer players that demonstrated that they had much higher levels of brain cell damage which was believed to be caused by heading the ball often.

Taking pucks off the mask seems like it would have a similar level of impact.

For a young player who’s already had a concussion that was further exacerbated by flying shortly after, things don’t look great for Demko.

Hate to see stuff like this because head/brain issues go way beyond just hockey, it’s life altering stuff.

Not trying to sound all doom and gloom for Demko, I’m confident he can recover from this, but it’s something that can get worse and worse with every new incident so I hope that he can avoid future issues.

Any word on Edler? When he presented Burrows with the present from the team, he looked okay walking-wise. His injury has been veiled in mystery - can't remember how it happened this last time.

Another week for Edler was mentioned on the broadcast last night. Also mentioned Motte was skating.

Combo injury this time: crushed testicle and stiff ankle hair from wearing socks for too long

Canucks miss Edler dearly - its no surprise the team is sliding without him

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Its definitely a start, but realistically I dont see him back till after Christmas/New year minimum..

 

[The Poacher]

Fractured knee cap for Leivo, out 3 months. Brutal, feel for the guy.

 

[timw33]

Alright so we can rule out getting a UFA rental return on Leivo then.....

So that’s the first thing came up in your mind? Cool

 

[Blue and Green]

Edler won't play tonight but is getting close. Demko participated today in practice for the first time. Sutter out until after Christmas. Ferland improving but no timeline. 2-3 months for Leivo.

Obviously it's awful for him personally, and for the team as he's been one of the best assets on the Canucks due to his on-ice play and favourable contracts (on a team full on just horrific contracts). But you have to look at it from a long term perspective of what is best for the team, which in my opinion is maximizing value on assets, especially if we fall far outside of the playoff picture before the deadline. Can't have another Hamhuis/Vanek/Vrbata situation where we get absolutely **** all.

Shattered kneecap. No penalty.
Keep NHLing, NHL.

Poor Leivo. There was an official looking right at the play but nothing was called, not even interference, since Leivo didn't have the puck yet. It's not just that it happened to one of our own players, it's the principal of protecting players in a vulnerable position. And that means all players.

Thoughts and prayers.

Is that better?

With leivo out I wonder if they give Reid Boucher some games.

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Demko back in the squad ..Mikey D assigned to Utica.

 

[polarbearcub]

My brother shattered his knee cap in 6 pieces last month after being hit by a car on his bicycle. Leivo is in for a rough recovery from what I’ve seen with my brother

Snake bite while grabbing crackers.

I doubt we see him much in a Canucks uniform ever again. Noggin is scrambled eggs.

Rotoworld was no help calling him a goaltender, 'the 27 year old goaltender missed 17 games...'

Rotowire is predicting for around january 4th he'll be back or probably re evaluated in his case I imagine.
