This thread is exactly why "unfit to play" was a terrible choice of language by the league. 90% of fans aren't reading the NHL's press releases. They see the word "unfit" and jump to conclusions.
They should use language fans are familiar with and call everything an injury. Or just straight up say, we're not commenting on the status of any player.
He is in great physical shape and his conditioning is fine. I was told he hurt his wrist in gym in off ice workout. No one on Leafs has COVID. Trying to find out if he is out a week or a month. Either way it likely puts him out of competing for a spot for play-in. He really does have some horrible luck on medical front.The people thinking Liljegren is actually unfit or out of shape are ridiculous lol.
He's one of our most jacked prospects and was constantly in the gym with Clune and Gaudet when he could be.
He's either injured or has tested positive for Covid.
I know some fans here love to rip on him any chance they get but come on.
Great breakdown of his brief stint at the NHL level.
Thanks for the infoHe is in great physical shape and his conditioning is fine. I was told he hurt his wrist in gym in off ice workout. No one on Leafs has COVID.

"Unfit to play" is perfectly fine and clearly can mean anything from Covid19, to an injury, to being too fat. Not the NHL's that fault people are stupid and believe what they want.
It is gonna make some guys look bad but clearly there is a good legal reason why it is what it is. Hockey was never ever good about explaining why guys are out. Now with privacy issues at play with COVID we are moving into next level stupid. Guys like dingy Simmons will have a field day.Throwing up your hands and saying “not my fault” is not a great way to run a multi-billion dollar sports league.
Regardless of whose fault it is the confusion was easily foreseeable and does the league and players no favours.

Probably Bettman and his team of eagle begals with da legal sounding name ... i don't like it either but they have to say something that covers everything but says nothing like good political lawyer speak ... and clearly it gets people talking about it so probably gets more attention, even if its bad attention ... kinda like da marketing people always tell me if it gets people talking about your products because its a bad commercial actually works great; either outstandingly great or bad ... good ones that no one talk about are useless as people don't pay attention to those onesI'm not saying their decision to keep the information private was a bad idea, I'm saying they could have come up with more useful language than "unfit to play".
No he was likely the 8th or 9th defenceman.would Liljegren make the lineup if he was suited to play anyways?
would Liljegren make the lineup if he was suited to play anyways?
nah oranges, cherries, mango's or grapes nice and chilled
It would be a stretch. Very unexpected.would Liljegren make the lineup if he was suited to play anyways?
It's also about optics.It is gonna make some guys look bad but clearly there is a good legal reason why it is what it is. Hockey was never ever good about explaining why guys are out.

There’s nothing wrong with unfit to play. The only thing that is wrong is how bored some folks are to fixate on it. A side effect of the unfortunate mass unemployment for certain.
Looking more and more likely it's an injury.
It’s a vague designation meant to not distinguish between an injury, fitness level and health status.
The only conclusion I can get from this is that it is HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY unlikely he has COVID. He is either injured (most likely), out of shape (least likely) or sitting out for contract/trade reasons (just throwing that out there)
