Injury Report: Virus protocol: Feb 12. Laughton + Lindblom; Prev: Voracek, Frost, Giroux, Braun, and Sanheim Added

[David St Hubbins]

Question is labrum damage. If significant it would lead to instability and expectation of additional dislocations. In such cases surgery may be indicated, with a 3-6 month recovery, including spend 3-4 weeks in a sling and able to start on stationary bike near end of that time, so impact on conditioning would be significant. The other impact would be a likely "tightening" of the shoulder which could impact his passing or shooting.

And no, I am not a doctor, nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. I am however going for similar surgery next week.

 

[Lord Defect]

Still better than Hagg

Hagg would have flubbed the pass

 

[FLYguy3911]

Shoulders are tricky. Just ask de Haan.

I'm starting to think Myers might never play close to a full NHL season, he seems to have the Sami Salo injury curse.

Myers had injury concerns early (lower body), but he's been pretty healthy the last two seasons.

 

[Tripod]

I would have moved g to center.


Laughton Hayes farabee...I thought played well together in a couple games last year.

plus it gets the puck hog away from others that need the puck as well.
Lindblom G TK
JVR Patrick Jake
Laughton Hayes Farabee
Raffl Bunny NAK

That's what I would have gone with

 

[orangey]

Well could be worse I guess considering that Myers can probably play in the 2-4 week timeframe, depending.

Hope Friedman's big shot goes better than poor Frost. Major bummer for the kid but he'll be back.

Big Z may get his debut sooner than expected. After that... well let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Come on Gost! Pass those tests/quarantine!

 

[BillDineen]

Frost's offseason was too focused on abs, not shoulders. Crucial error.

Flip Patrick and g. Those are g’s boys. That’s a first line that should step up at this stage of their career. Patrick has had chemistry with Oskar and tk.

I would prefer a mix of youth/vets on each line

Nope. Time for the vets to put on their big boy pants! Lol.

I guess Frost wont be back until April...

had a guy on my water polo team who dislocated his shoulder. Was 3 months-ish.


Awful timing to have the first real injury of your hockey career. Completely clean bill of health through juniors and AHL bar a groin strain...

It entirely depends on the person. The more muscle and the stronger your ligaments then the longer you can be out for, your bodys muscle actively tries to keep the arm out of the joint.

Frost being a slight bloke could get lucky. Ive seen players pop shoulders back in on the field and carry on playing, but I've also seen a prop pop it and be out for 7 months. Depends on the body composition.

As for a fractured rib. That f***ing sucks. He could be out for a month. I broke 2 last year and was one of the worst things I have ever done. Breathing hurts.

 

[Mitch Doris]

Went from pretty sure we would win the division to hoping we can make the playoffs.

I think even without the Frost and Myers the Flyers will still be competitive, hoping the injuries dont start stacking any higher (knocks on wood) but I am hoping Friedman can fill the role Myers played.

Ouch. Playing sports?

Yup, scoring a try (basically a touchdown, but you have to place the ball), I carried an 18 stone lump on my back as I crossed the line. Trouble was, I fell on the ball and it had nowhere to go. Boosh, 2 ribs cracked. Finished the last 20 minutes of the game, then couldn't breathe in the clubhouse afterwards.

I'm from NZ, but thanks for the quick rugby lesson.

I’ll be having some Lagavulin. Paired with a Boston creme donut

Any chance you're into trout fishing? NZ is a mecca in that regard...

 

[trostol]

yay us...almost ..ALMOST glad i have to work lol

 

[Rebels57]

I don't see that as necessary. None of those younger guys are rookies. They've all accumuluated decent experience. If they look best together, keep em' together.

I like the idea of the young line and the old line pushing each other too.

With Morin being activated from taxi squad, the first post of the GDT is updated... until the next change.

 

[ybnvs]

I've mentioned a few times (not that I expect anyone to remember) I have a friend who is a die-hard Hagg fan. I sent him a text this morning with an update on Frost and Myers, and of course this was his response:

"It's going to be a rough stretch. Myers is a huge loss, sucks what happened to Frost but I still don't think he was the best option to fill in for coots.

I would have moved G to C, Laughton to a wing and bunny to 4th line C. Frost needs AHL games once he is healed up and obviously needs to hit the weight room. "

The bolded really made me want to smack him upside the head.

My response to him was, "Coots and Myers are both injured from non-threatening, light hits. Do they have to hit the weightroom too?"

 

[patrick kitchin]

Can I get just one of my Philly teams that isn't hit with injury bug?

 

[JXC]

had a guy on my water polo team who dislocated his shoulder. Was 3 months-ish.

I know a guy who tore his shoulder apart while reaching for his dog’s tennis ball under a sofa.

Friedman update:



Sounds perhaps concussion protocol.
