Injury Report: 2013-2014 Injury Update Thread

[hockeyfish]

Is Holden back with the team also?

 

[tigervixxxen]

Yeah, his wife had the baby. That's probably why they sent Stollery down.

So they put DVG on IR and didn't call a forward up so Stastny should be good to go?

What happens when call ups go on IR? Do they rehab with the big club or go back home?

 

[Foppa2118]

So on the broadcast they said DVG is out indefinitely with a head injury so do they put him on IR (or send him down?) and call someone else up incase Stastny can't go Tuesday? Lake Erie added a few more injuries tonight (Olver, Lerg, Wyman) so if they do call a forward up it might actually be one of Hishon, Sgarbossa, Agozzino, Smith because that's about who they have left.

Jeez, how much you want to bet the superstitious Roy is blaming this on himself for saying a couple weeks ago that they've been lucky with injuries this year?

It's kind of hard to freak out about injuries to DVG and Giguere.

I think it's safe to say the only injuries would be real catastrophic for the Avs is if EJ or Varly get hurt for any significant time.

They overcame Duchene's injury because of forward depth, but i don't think they can overcome EJ and Varly because those two positions is where Avs don't really have much depth to cover up.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Dater says no Stastny at practice. Update after.

 

[tigervixxxen]

They better call someone up if Stastny can't go tomorrow. Do not want to see Holden at forward.

To be fair, they survived Duchene's injury for a handful of games. If he were to be lost for any real amount of time, they would be in deep trouble.

They rehab with their NHL team, same as if they get injured during training camp, the team cannot send them back down until they are medically cleared. It's actually why DVG was technically with the Avs after the beginning of the season as he was rehabbing an injury suffered during training camp.

 

[Freudian]

While it sucks for vdG to have a concussion at least he got lucky getting it while called up so he makes four times as much money the time he's out. I wonder if Avs let him heal up in Cleveland with his family.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Who wants to see Sami in an Avs game?

 

[Hans Landaskog]

Who wants to see Sami in an Avs game?

He'll most likely get a start if JSG is out for a week.

 

[Joe Sakic]

Who wants to see Sami in an Avs game?

Count me in.

O'Reilly - Duchene - McGinn
Landeskog - MacKinnon - Talbot
McLeod - Mitchell - Cliche
Bordeleau - Malone - Holden

Hejda - Johnson
Wilson - Barrie

That's not so bad, we have a solid top two lines still, our top d-pair and Varwallmov. It's doable.

 

[tigervixxxen]

So Dater's only update from Roy is the Barrie and Stastny might play. Well one of them has to because nobody else has been called up and Holden can only replace one of them.

You under estimate Aittokallio's ability to play on the wing...

Anyway, I expect Stastny to play. It didn't seem like there was anything serious.

 

[tigervixxxen]

That's true, MacKinnon could back up Varly if he has to.

Probably just re-evaluate them in the morning and then call someone up if needed(Cleveland isn't that far away).

 

[tigervixxxen]

True but why wait, they have room on the roster right now.

 

[Taak19]

Well at least the Olympics is soon and players will have time to heal up. I'd prefer if Stastny stays home if he isn't 100% for Team USA.

 

[freeboy]

Did we ever hear what actually happened to Staz?

 

[Frenchy]

Leg injury , no ?

 

[AvsRobin]

Leg injury , no ?

I think he fell during a face off or something when we were on the PP, he stayed out there for the PP but didn't look OK.
