Injury Report: Victor Hedman cleared for contact, could return as early as 11/29/14

[Werewolf]

Main division's rival (Boston) now has their #1D is gone for the same amount of time. Their D is in shambles - getting rid of Boychuk now proves to be a mistake. I think we are better prepared to lose Hedman than Bruins are losing Chara. #depth

Well they had to get rid of somebody to fit under the cap, growing pains were to be expected when they started to rely on Krug and and Hamilton.

But yeah our #depth is unbelievable

Haven't heard anything lately. Last official word is "fortnight to fortnight".

I thought that statement was about Connolly.

Well ****.

The 29th of this month would be 6 weeks.

 

[BohemianRhandomly]

Thinking it will be more like four weeks from the date of injury. Unless the finger was completely blown out in an open fracture, it should be on the short side of that 4-6 week window to heal. Athletes usually have treatments that accelerate the process, too (bone-growth stimulators, etc), so I would expect him back before Thanksgiving. Again, though, it depends upon how severely the finger was injured.

 

[FinnLightning26]

I hope he comes back as good as before the injury. It was a joy to watch him as he finally was cementing himself as one of the true premier defensemen in this league.

I don't really know who this guy is but if he's right...

Victor Hedman on the ice this morning #tblightning

...that's great news.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Wonder how long he has to wear the cast.

Read that the cast was off today at practice (he was watching).

Another Wolverine-like recovery in store for the Lightning? I think my 1st namechange (this month?) could be Hedman themed...

You're the best new poster I've seen in a while.

You're the best new poster I've seen in a while.

Well, thanks! I figured I'd make a Kucherovian, first shift, first shot, first goal type of impression here.

Really, though, it's easy to let loose and have a good time with an easy-going, fun-loving group like this one. You've all been very welcoming and encouraging, which is completely awesome. Don't ever change.

Per Joe Smith

Jon Cooper says that there will be a while until Hedman is back, maybe early December.

Hedman says that he is feeling better and have started skating and is aiming to beat the six weeks mark. Says "you never know"

(I can't quote on my phone but they are on twitter)

Hedman says he's ramped up his workouts with the cast now off, has skated on his own past two days, optimistic he can return soon

Erik Erlendsson ‏@erlendssonTBO
Cooper said Hedman is still weeks away from a return, perhaps looking at early December #tblightning

Those tweets kinda contradict each other.

I guess if you put this tweet in between the other two it all starts to make sense.

#tblightning @heds77 says he's been skating past couple days, cast off. Feeling better overall. Wants to beat 6-wk return date. "Never know"
