Wasn’t there something early in the season or even preseason where Makar said he had something lingering and Bednar was just like well nobody’s ever 100%. I can’t remember if that was this season or the year before…
This is all I could find from Evan after the last pre-season game where Makar finally played.
From Joey: I know he returned to practice today, but what’s the level of concern regarding Cale Makar’s injury. Obviously, we don’t want anything that’s going to linger into this season!
From Annalisa: Compared to Landy’s interviews from last year how did Makar’s interview today make you feel?
From Shawn: Health, Health, Health. How’s the health this year?
Cale Makar obviously played in the preseason finale, but looked to be taking it a little easy. There was one shift at the start of the third period where he really cranked it up, going coast to coast and creating a great chance, but other than that, you didn’t see him skate with the puck a ton.
Am I concerned? Yeah, a little bit. When we talked to Makar, he didn’t declare himself 100%, but one line really stuck with me.
“It’s just been kind of a long process, and stuff never really gets worse, but it hasn’t really gotten much better.”
The fact that it hasn’t gotten to 100% after a long summer is a definite concern. It wouldn’t surprise me if this is an issue all season long. I hope I’m wrong, but that’s just what my gut is telling me right now.
