Injury Report: 2021/22 Injury Thread Part II of ∞

[The Moops]

Haha Nuke out Upper Body. Makar maintenance day

Without Nuke we'd go 0-82

 

[the_fan]

This long break is gonna be more negative than positive for the Avs as far as injuries go. Players get more easily injured when they're rusty. I expect at least 3 players will be injured after the Sunday's game

 

[Mighty Makar]

I hate this f***en team.

Uh no. This break has been a gift to the Avs. Letting our guys come back without missing games is huge. Nuke will be fine

We'll see, but the last time Avs had this kind of time off was the bubble when they came back completely healthy and by the 2nd round of the playoffs, half the team was injured.

And it's not just injuries. Some players like Kadri, Nichushkin etc..were on a roll, now you hope that they didn't cool down and gonna struggle.

If it means 5-6 games off of Byram's recovery, I'm good with it.

Yah. Byram can go point per game for the final 55 games and win the Calder!

Did he get hurt at practice? This team I swear…

 

[S E P H]

Do they play with live grenades in practice or what the eff is going on?

It's unbelievable... How many players have gotten hurt during practices this year?

I honestly think that the Avs are the most cautious team when it comes to injury. The regular season doesn't matter much. We've been bitten by playoff injuries and the team is probably being overly cautious.

Not this season, but dating back to last year with Francouz and I believe Rantanen got bad injuries if I remember right.

Fire Sakic

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Someone took a maintenance day?

 

[Gruyeriev]

This reminds me of the time Ryan O’Reilly got hurt during a goal celebration. You just can’t make this stuff up.

 

[Jayevs]

At least no one has gotten injured eating pancakes

 

[Markster]

Snow is **at long last ** falling in Denver. Hopefully, Joe hasn't loaned his snow blower to MacKinnon.

So basically only Nuke is missing from the full starting line-up.

Landeskog - Mackinnon - Rantenan
Burakovsky - Kadri - Newhook
Helm - Jost - O'Connor
McDermid - Compher - Aube-Kubel

Toews - Makar
Byram - Girard
J. Johnson - E. Johnson

Kuemper
Francouz

Scratch/Injured
- Nichushkin = upper body, will miss a couple games
- Murray - lower body, close (day-to-day)
- MacDonald - upper body (working in the gym, not skating yet since hit)

... well at least for 10 mins of next game

Instant loss without Nuke

 

[missionAvs]

Yeah no way we win tomorrow without Nuke.

 

[cccoltsicehockey]

If the Captain comes back and plays with Viking mode he can bridge the gap of Nuke out for a game or two. If he comes out soft we definitely probably lose.

 

[Jayevs]

So excited to finally see some Avs hockey tomorrow, feels like it’s been way longer than 16 days.
