Injury Report: Updates In 1st Post | Letang Out vs CBJ

[PensPlz]

His 3rd or 4th concussion in 3 seasons?

Yikes.

 

[Burn]

BobbyMac got the low-down(or JR answered his phone, if you will):

Thanks... I thought it was the Gallagher goal.

That dude has a BMI of like 21 or something. We should stop being surprised that he gets injured so often.

 

[Shad]

Who is expected to get the starts while Murray is out?

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Correct me if I’m wrong but 3 concussions and 8 injuries during his time here?

It might be time to be searching for options.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

This is exactly why I wanted a veteran back up. The annual long term Murray injury is early this year.

Dude is fragile af.

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

This is what I was afraid of with Murray. This is beyond ridiculous but I'm not surprised.

find a happy place....find a happy place....

It's ridiculous as f***.

He was shit last year and this year looked more of the same. On top, he's injury prone as hell. He's one of those guys that gave us a glimpse of his potential and will never show us it again.

Yikes.

Was about to ask this. That can't be good for his longevity.









So glad Jarry wasn't traded.

At this point I'd start looking for legit starter options. And not washed up aging vets a la Niemi either.

Murray will be Lindros 2.0 by the time he's 30 at this rate. Thank goodness he got his 2 Cups when he did.

By 30? Dude is lucky if he ever plays a healthy season by 25.

I meant by age 30 his head will be full of mashed potatoes a la Lindros.

He needs a new f***ing mask style with actual protection.

Who is expected to get the starts while Murray is out?

50-50 on DeSmith and Jarry. Jarry's the better player with the more long term potential but DeSmith runs really hot when on and has the advantage of being the back up in situ.

People wonder about why Murray let in that soft wrap around goal against MTL...that totally could be from a concussion...his reaction times at the end of that game looked slow...concussions can affect that, the processing of info, focus etc, everything a goaltender needs to be good....Crawford has been out forever from one, Mason nearly retired, now Nash is saying he’s still recovering months later....

I don’t think the Pens need to look right now for a replacement for Murray but IMO they should be assessing the position longterm because Murray has not shown himself to be a reliable #1 goalie and they need to start planning as if that will continue...they can’t waste this year or next—Sid and G’s best remaining years to win another Cup—on wing-and-a-prayer Murray....I’m not sold on DeSmith or Jarry as longterm solutions...I hope the organization is looking at younger goalies not in the NHL right now with an eye towards swinging a deal down the road....

DeSmith will start tomorrow.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Shelly's insight is magical. Glad Murray's not curled up in a ball, unable to stand upright.

I have vertigo and sometimes struggle with walking.

We've found Shelly's source!

This is the injury thread. Take the rest of it somewhere else.

By 30, he'll be spoon feeding himself hamburger and fries shakes.

Was it a concussion or just a precaution? Seems more like precautionary from the outside.

Personally, I think it's better to be overly cautious with all injuries, and concussions even more so. Give him all the time he needs to fully recover, because you know the other team is going to run him as much as they can.
