Injury Report: Wayne Simmonds out up to 6 weeks (Upd. Broken Wrist)

[The Iceman]

Watson would be a solid pickup for us on 4th line but i think Lemieux could move up lineup and help JT too ... Nic is all about fighting and we need someone who can add a little more ... SIZE - SPEED - FORECHECK - WALL SKILLS - NET FRONT -fight

The only game I got to in person last season was when Anaheim was in town, it was Campbell's first Leaf start. 1st goal of the game was an unbelievably skilled goal by Deslaurier. I looked him up expecting him to be a big time prospect but no. He ended the game with like 7 minutes played.

Luckily. It is his left wrist, the jersey grabbing wrist, not the face punching wrist

He switches actually. Pumps with both hands.

I really dont think its necessary to rush him back until fully healed. Dubas did a great job with our depth to insure against things like this.

The team has been doing well without him minus this latest hiccup against Vancouver. We struggled the past couple of games because of Matthews-Marner line not chipping in, and hot goalies. Once that line starts to contribute again we will be fine and Simmonds will be allowed to take his time to heal at 100%.

To be honest Im on the verge if Matthews has another bad night tonight, to rest him as well. We should be able to compete without him as well as proven against Edmonton.

Rest the injured and dont rush them back.

Bones are fully healed by 6 weeks. Muscle atrophy can last a long time.
By all means, rush him back if the bone is mended.

Keefe update on Wayne train who some think is a low-impact 4th liner that missed half a season.

So he's a 4th liner that missed half the season...who's also a great cheerleader.

He's helping Dubas' case to be the GM of the year so far this season -- I don't see the problem and what's not to like.

 

[Morbo]

adding him to the lineup will be an upgrade. line is irrelevant.

Love this and love Wayne

It's funny how even the coach can come out and talk about what he brings to the team, and yet some posters know better

He can not come back fast enough. The Leafs are a better team with him. He keeps other teams bullies in check. There is no Matthew Tkachuk running around on the ice with his Shenanigans when Simmonds is in the line up.

You must have missed OT last night

 

[CanadasTeam]

You must have missed OT last night

Last night was an insane OT goal by Matthews and win achieved through skills and perseverance by the whole team.

Poster you quoted was talking more about when situations like these happen (more often during playoffs) and everyone just feel so, you know, helpless.
