Injury Report: 2023-24 Injury thread (McGinn out 4 months after back surgery)

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Didn't take long for the guy from Boston to learn Duckspeak when talking about injured players.

If this is turning into the "pin the injury on the Drysdale" thread, I'm going to guess groin.

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

I still think it's a bone bruise from blocking a shot. Can't be seen on scans, uncertain recovery time, not much you can do about it, etc.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

I'm guessing it's a muscle strain b/c what could seem like it should be a week recovery ends up being far longer. The recovery is incremental, implying a higher grade strain. Regardless of the injury, I'm glad that the Ducks have enough talent depth to allow Drysdale to fully heal to not rush Drysdale back onto the ice.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Stepped on a lego, day to month.

Allright time to guess Zegras Injury..

Mac reached for a puck and went day to week(s). Stepping on a lego is more painful, with several experiences.

I know nothing is confirmed but having a shoulder issue and a hip issue would be terrible news

I doubt its hip, he is to young for that...if you don't have genetically bad hip, and i hope he doesn't, you have to put some mileage first to wear off your hip.

Typical Ducks injury. Day to day, then MIA for almost a month and still not even skating.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Does anybody remember if Drysdale sat for periods of time during the Carolina game?

Well he had the most even strength TOI on the team, so I doubt he sat at all (he played 22 total minutes).

Hope he doesn't get banished to Drysdale Island.

 

[pbgoalie]

Great, see you in 2024

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Hope he doesn't get banished to Drysdale Island.

Too late for that. He probably made a visit and ended up quarantined.

 

[la patineuse]

So, does DTD mean MTM like Drysdale?

The two players who weren't at camp have lower body injuries? Hmmmm.

 

[slippingsloth]

they are also the players on show me contracts for what this worth... plenty of time still on them but yeah

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Update. Might post in the roster thread as well.

Last game was on 10/15, and the single update has been "lower body injury". I'm guessing it's a nagging thing where you can't do much besides rest and re-evaluate (high grade sprain, hamstring/groin issue, etc.)

I'm not an NHL contract expert or anything, but I guess if we don't need the cap relief and we aren't planning on calling anyone up then it doesn't really matter. Not sure if there's a point where a team is required to put someone on IR unless it's something like a season ending injury (LTIR).

Drysdale is on IR. Capfriendly.

 

[Reveille1984]

Drysdale is on IR. Capfriendly.

Makes sense. For some reason I missed that earlier when looking it up, thanks.

 

[Sombastate]

Zegras got injured the day I traded for him in my dynasty league. I'm sorry, guys. You have me to blame
