Injury Report: 2014-2015 Injury Thread

[tigervixxxen]

That's quite a big range. I guess he was the one who got that MRI

 

[InjuredChoker]

time to trade hejda and briere for picks.

 

[JoemAvs]

Damn. I don't think Varly can even keep us afloat through this one.

Sucks. Get well soon EJ .

That said.
3-8 weeks.
What kind of estimate is that?
Better than week-to-week with a LBI I guess.


That should seal it. I can't envision us making the playoffs with EJ being out that long.

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Well thanks for coming out folks, look forward to seeing you all next season!

If I were a betting man, I would say imaging showed a meniscus tear, and they won't know the exact extent until they actually get inside with the scope.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Crouse here we come

 

[SuperJoe]

Damn. I don't think Varly can even keep us afloat through this one.

Well we are truly ****ed, the slight hopes of playoffs should be put to rest.
What's our defense going to look like? Hejda-General, Holden-Barrie, Redmond - Stuart? God Almighty have mercy on our souls

 

[RockLobster]

Damn. I don't think Varly can even keep us afloat through this one.

3-8 weeks?

What the hell kind of time-table is that? I mean, I'm no doctor, but it just seems too large of a gap.

But the larger picture--get well EJ, this could almost effectively end his season (if it's on the 8 week side of things)...he was having such a great year too.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Our schedule until the end of February includes:

Nashville (3x)
Dallas (3x)
Wild (2x)
Red Wings
Jets
Rangers
Coyotes
Kings
Blackhawks
Lightning

Yikes.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Maybe now they have to call up an extra D.

5-6 wins max, we should be good for 7-9 pick in June

 

[NothingLikeAnEJ]

Could be a good time to see a callup like Siemens or Elliot.

 

[madman]

Woof. That's bad news at a bad time.

 

[Avs_19]

Could be a good time to see a callup like Siemens or Elliot.

Would love to see it but still doubt we see Siemens. Maybe they'll give him a look after the deadline if the team is out of it and they move Hejda.

 

[henchman21]

Well... that sucks. We are going to see how good Barrie really is during this stretch.

 

[SuperJoe]

Could be a good time to see a callup like Siemens or Elliot.

I wouldn't bet on that

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

I think Siemens and Noreau are both hurt.

Elliott makes sense. God help us if it's Stollery or Gervais...

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Haha, we are so finished.

 

[RockLobster]

Would definitely love to see a guy get a chance that's been down in the AHL all year. Noreau jumps to mind...

Ideally though, I'd like for them to give Siemens a taste, see how he responds. He's such a mean SOB that I wonder if he would work better with being coached by Foote and Tourigny with the Avs.

 

[JoemAvs]

Well... that sucks. We are going to see how good Barrie really is during this stretch.

Ugh. He already is struggling under his heavy workload.

Now he will have to act as our de facto #1.
He will also be the only D that excels at moving the puck (besides Redmond to a lesser extend).

Yeah. That will go well .

Atleast Hejda is better than Guenin.

Or we will get to see a Hejda - Stuart top pairing .

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Our schedule until the end of February includes:

Nashville (3x)
Dallas (3x)
Wild (2x)
Red Wings
Jets
Rangers
Coyotes
Kings
Blackhawks
Lightning

Yikes.

Jesus. Not single easy game for us and we are without Johnson. ****. It's over.

 

[ABasin]

Damn. I don't think Varly can even keep us afloat through this one.

Nope. Game over, folks. Too bad, he was really having a nice season.

This 3-8 week thing sounds like they think he has injury A or injury B, but they won't know until they go in to fix injury A.

Anyway, I don't think the Avs can overcome this. They overcame (to a point) the Varlamov injury(ies) because Pickard came up and surprised everyone. What now? Is Redmond or Stuart going to adequately replace EJ for some stretch?

3 weeks gets EJ back with a half dozen or so games left before the deadline. 8 weeks gets him back with 10 or so games to go in the season. Not sure that latter one is worth it, given where the Avs will likely be in the standings after two months without him. Neither is likely going to work.

Without EJ, the Avs have a rather remarkably poor defensive corps. We may be in for some pretty brutal hockey here.


EDIT: Oh wait, it says he already had a knee scope. I have no idea why there is a 5 week gap there.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Jesus. Not single easy game for us and we are without Johnson. ****. It's over.

yotes are easy.

we always win dallas.

nashville is without rinne and weber struggles against speed.

minny beat us couple of time in the past: regression to mean.

red wings are done.

we have hawks #.

barrie always trolls tampa.

10+ wins is very much possible.

 

[Kschey]

Wow, what a bummer. Hope EJ will be fine. Hate them knee injuries.

I don't care about the playoffs, I just want EJ to get healthy asap and to a full extent. We'll need him throughout the next years.
