Injury Report: 2023/2024 Injury Updates

[Lshap]

Statistically, the sample size of three seasons is miniscule and nearly irrelevant. Such a tiny sample absolutely allows for luck and clustering to create havoc with any attempt to draw a meaningful analysis.

I accept that. I also accept the human brain's talent for imagining patterns in random events.

That said, when the same team has the same players injured again and again, it would be irresponsible to NOT investigate further. Compare the staff to other teams' staffs, compare methodologies, compare diets, compare on-ice styles, compare equipment, evaluate how well players follow their regimes, etc.

If everything is being done properly and there's no measurable difference between our guys and other teams' guys, then so be it – we're simply a victim of that 'luck and clustering' you mentioned. Either way, we'd all agree it's been a kind of cluster.....

Gotta start blaming the fkn trainers man. These kids are not strong enough for the NHL. There's a serious lack of physical prep going on.

OK if you are gonna randomly spray blame around to guys who are not on the ice or actually playing hockey then you should start with the lad playing the organ in the bleachers...he is giving everyone a bad vibe...get out your voodoo dolls while you are at it!

Physical prep is probably the first or 2nd most important factor in injury prevention. (1st being re-injury treatment, which also falls a little bit under physical prep.)

Who? Also the best kinesiologist is unlikely to be in this league.

Pretty much.

Get the best possible, or just hire your buddy.

At least in this instance it was both...

 

[dinodebino]

Not blaming the Habs trainers. These players now have personal coaches and trainers. And I rewatched the very small slash. These f***ing small gloves man. Can't they invent something to protect the wrists???? We're in 2023...

Even if it may unrelated to this specific injury I feel like Ghule needs to stop putting himself at risk to win every puck battle, make the pass etc.. he's too combative and often puts himself in harms way.

What are you guys doing? Puttin on the foil coach, want some?

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

It's a good policy after all to have this much redundancy at C and D. Without Newhook, losing Dach so early might make this season a write-off.

Just some more bad luck........unbelievable.
Seriously, WTF is going on...........Heinamen in the A also???

 

[ZUKI]

Club Canadiens de Montréal Organization overall is injury prone . We should trade them fast before half the players get injured

Let me doubt that the "best" has only a masters.

Anyhow, how is he qualified as the best?

Next up are us Hab fans getting injured watching the games.

Is that what happened? Is that the only injury that has ever happened with the Habs?

Ummmmm........no

Playing like pu**ies is not the answer.

 

[Rob Sense]

No...sometimes players checked over the boards...sometimes they get a puck in the face...sometimes the get crushed in the head by a shoulder...sometimes a ref falls on them...all pretty predictable and avoidable stuff! I have not heard of many season-ending injuries occuring the pre-game skate though so they must be really prepared for that! JFC

Sometimes, but in Habs land its all the time. Most likely those joints were already weak and they meeded a little push to get injured.

 

[waffledave]

Just seems we are cursed to always be injury prone and always have a bad powerplay regardless of management or personnel in place.

Most likely you are wrong but keeping beating the same drum....
