It seems like this team is legit cursed. Every time the Avs get close to being fully healthy, it’s followed by a 2-3 week period of guys getting hurt every single game.
Byram is cursed beyond belief. He’s played less than half of the Avs games, and has gotten hurt on 3-4 different occasions. His season has basically been a complete write off, because even though he’s played 19 games, they’ve been so scattered that he hasn’t gotten any sort of rhythm going at all.

Such a blatant cheap shot and the league turned a blind eye to it.

This is flat out unacceptable. The sheer amount of setbacks is unlike anything I've seen before. So unless they're all COVID related this organization needs a complete overhaul and reinvestment in its training staff. Enough is enough

It is definitely getting ridiculous. That said we have less total days lost than other clubs. The fact it seems to happen year after year is the bigger issue. Starting to feel like what goes on with the Philadelphia Eagles as far as injury history.

People kept trying to tell me that Byram was a shoulder injury in the last thread, I’m standing by the only thing that fits the observed pattern of reports and skating/not skating is concussion. And COVID respiratory effects/fatigue/brain fog could cause a setback for someone with a concussion but not for someone with a shoulder injury.
Kid missed games after getting punched in the head a bunch of times and then hit in the head by cheap shot. Sure the shoulder could be involved but I’ll believe there was no brain scrambling if the medical report gets published and not otherwise

If the setbacks are concussion related then I don’t blame the training staff. If it’s other injuries... then yeah, they don’t have them on the correct rehab plans.

f*** this shit. What the f*** is going on?
Another day, another f***ing injury bad news. I have never seen so much f***ing shit happen to a contender.

If Bo doesn’t learn how to avoid getting hit 20 times a game he’ll never be a factor for the Avs.

I'd say there is some truth to that. He doesn't have the frame to take a huge amount of punishment and he has to be top 20 and he's probably surrounded by guys 6'3" 210++.

With O'Connor's setback, he won't get the 5 games needed to be exposed in the expansion draft, he'll be exempt. So that's a plus I guess.

I literally said this in the last game he played. It happens way too often. There's a reason why Girard doesnt put himself in those situations and why he bails on pucks at times when hes about to get hit hard. His body wasnt built for it. Byrams body hasnt matured yet. He keeps taking these hits hes going to have a short career.

Byram didn’t come into this year with a good understanding of his physical limitations as a young guy. We saw it with RNH, amazing rookie season, takes a major shoulder injury, never captured the magic again. Byram in particular taking that fight was stupid. Hope Byram heals up well and has a great career.

Not exempt… he can be selected. He just can’t be used for the exposure requirements so it actually limits the Avs options more by having LOC not able to be used there.

Aren't all jokes ultimately syphilis jokes? Here's proof:
A man walks into a bar. Ouch.
He's not in pain because of walking into the bar, but because of the horrifying scar tissue left on his genitals from a recent bout of syphilis.
