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

[Alienblood]

Why are people getting mad at Bednars comments.
It literally could be anything with concussions.

Let's just hope and pray the boys will be alright. Sooner than later.

I suffered a broken nose and concussion by my own accord in late October. Had headaches and whatnot for a few weeks, felt better for another few and woke up a few days ago with headaches again.

It's my 3rd in the last 5 or 6 years. I'm off to the doctor today.

My last concussion symptoms lasted over 2 months. Symptoms can return at the drop of a hat unfortunately.

My guess is this is exactly what's going on with Byram. His concussion is probably mostly healed, but he's experiencing some lingering on and off symptoms either headaches, vertigo, or both. 15 years ago they'd tell him to suck it up and get his ass on the ice, now that we're not animals they're being careful with him and only letting him on the ice when he's feeling 100%.

Bednar says two days or a month because he simply does not know. The fact that he lumped Kuemper in with Byram in that category should tell you everything you need to know. The Avs desperately need Franky back and playing well. Even against teams like Montreal no lead is safe with JoJo in net.

Baffle 'em with bullshit, it's certainly a good method when the numbers don't back up the assertion.

I could post his numbers from this season if you'd like... or his tenure in Minny or last season or his playoff numbers... which would you prefer?

Precisely. Give Byram all the time he needs. As much as we want him to play there is no rush. Kuemper as well, let's hope Frank comes back and plays well and stays healthy

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Hasn’t Francouz been practicing for a while now? Gotta imagine he’s very close to returning. Is he on the road trip?

He's in Windsor.

 

[Arto Kilponen]

As sad as it is, my mindset on Byram is that any games he plays is a bonus. Avs should not make any roster decisions (like trade G) based on his availability this year or for the future.

I completely agree. Ask Nuggets about Michael Porter Jr. if you feel otherwise.

My daughter has had 4 concussions in the last 5 years playing volleyball. She has a sensitivity to light, especially fluorescent light which makes going to school suck, and chronic headaches now. On 2 different meds for the headaches. She sees a concussion therapist, a chiropractor, an acupuncturist, a massage therapist, and still has issues. Never knows what days things will flare up and she'll be down and out for a day or two. Bo very well could be dealing with with these things too... possibably for the rest of his life.

Get her some blue light blocking glasses on Amazon. Changed my life.

 

[Freudian]

It could be two days or a month before Bednar is fired.

j/k. but not really. maybe.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

She wears glasses for reading, so we already had gotten her some good ones through her eye doctor that she wears at school. They do help. Thanks.

Return of the King

 

[The Kingslayer]

Hopefully he gets to play D and if they must play Macdermid its at forward.

For whatever reason this seems to be Jared's blind spot and it's just so infuriating

 

[Shinjuku Calling]

it's crazy how a concussion in the NFL is treated like absolutely nothing, dudes are back immediately next week if they even leave the game, while in the NHL it can be career ending.

Because the NFL is the peak of masculinity to some people and therefore it suffers from toxic masculinity in regards that you are not a man if you cant take a little concussion.

Most of them are going to end up like Steve Thompson, English rugby player who at age 43 cant even remember what happened during his career and in general suffers from dementia at that age.

NHL being forced to take concussions seriously is a positive thing that down the road might make parents introduce their children to a safer contact sport in hockey instead of football.

Do you recall how many people were calling for JB’s head when he didn’t play Byram and EJ against the VGK in the POs? As fans we’re not any better than the NFL.

I'm more of a neutral Finnish homer so sadly I can't say I recall. I have a few teams where I know the ins and outs a little better, though I'm learning more about Avs now that I have Mack and Makar in my fantasy so I end up spending more time in the Avs board lurking.

It's also worth remembering that hockey is a faster sport with more sustained physical contact which is played on a slippery surface. It's probably a lot easier to run on grass for a bit than to skate on ice when you've got a head injury affecting your focus and co-ordination.

I remember saying something along the lines of that they should keep Bo out until he's 100%, even if that means next season, we weren't winning that Vegas series regardless. Rustled a lot of Jimmies at the time.

 

[Metallo]

So, after all this, do we know what Kuemper has?

 

[Cake Malar]

Bo skating in a regular jersey?

 

[The Merchant]

Pretty sure he has a .903

 

[Ararana]

I wonder what conditions the team doctors have for Byram to get back on the ice. Does he have to go 24-48 hours without headaches or vertigo?
