Cue Olympics games hate in 3...2...1

Its a (small) fracture for crying out loud (people running around saying "its broken" like someone chopped off Zucc's arm or something).

Let him get back to NY to get re-assessed, and then we can all cry "the sky is falling" if the team doctors say something negative

the same report indicates that a Norwegian doctor said he assumes Zuccarello will be be ready when the Rangers resume their season on Feb. 27. The doctor, who said he viewed the X-rays, said the X-rays indicated a small fracture in his left hand.

Not sure we need to worry too much about this... yet.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

The Pens played without Crosby. TB is without Stamkos all year. If the team sucks it's because the team sucks not bc MZA is injured. So I can't complain too much about it.

Fire Sather is going to kill himself.

good news is:

The doctor says that the injury doesn’t take long to heal and that he may be ready to play when the Rangers schedule resumes next Thursday.

I guess we could assume the worst case, he's out for 2-3 weeks. Definitely not a season-killer.

For all you Miller lovers out there, looks like he'll be pulled up for a few games if Zucc can't play next week

Anthony Davis of the New Orleans Pelicans also had a non displaced fracture in his hand this year. 4-6 weeks was the timetable on him. Guess it depends on the severity but I don't trust the Norway guys considering they just said it wasn't fractured a couple of days ago. I'll wait to hear what the NYR doctors say.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Hate to be that guy, but I told you so.

Regardless of the severity, that's our leading scorer going down the past 3 Olympics. And everyone should have seen it coming.

This team is so ****ing cursed.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Of course..

 

[HeaveHo94]

Its over Johnny

 

[NYRFAN218]

Thankfully by the time the first game rolls around, it'll be about a week and a half from the injury so the healing process should be going strong. If he misses a week or two I'll live but this just pisses me off.

 

[Ail]

Sucks more that he didn't even get to play in their elimination game.

"@LavoieRenaud: #rangers Mats Zuccarello (hand) should be out for 3 weeks. Still needs to see the doctor Thursday."

3 week injury? That's the early feeling. From: @LavoieRenaud

Sather better not make a franchise changing decision RE: Callahan based on this injury.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

as soon as Rangers are at their NHL practice facilities and NHL games are back, I expect JT Miller to get called up or maybe they recall Fast again....

 

[slipknottin]

My guess is 2-3 weeks.

 

[17futurecap]

At least the first week goes by without any games being missed.

Doubt it's Miller unless they are moving a center to wing. Think Fast gets called up.

Franchise changing?

 

[RangerBoy]

Dorsett will be returning from his broken leg when the Rangers resume play. 3 weeks. He will miss 6 games. The Rangers host the Wings on the March 9 which is three weeks from the injury. That would be game #6. 3 games before the deadline.

 

[Idlerlee]

Franchise changing?

Giving Callahan all the money since we're lacking a forward that isnt in the minors

 

[slipknottin]

How is Zucc missing a week in any way related to resigning callahan?

yea Dorsett is back. I also think Zucc could be back in time given that the trainer and Zuc himself think he will be fine
