Minty got injured too?

Looked like he possibly pulled a muscle or something. Maybe a hamstring if I remember correctly.

 

[McDonald19]

Remember when there was a period of a few days where we debated which forwards would get waived when we got healthy? We were so young and stupid back then.

Groulx is benefiting from it. Every time it looks like he is about to be waived and have a salary drop from $775k to $100k someone else gets hurt and he stays on the roster.

Now that you mention it, maybe somebody should be keeping an eye on Groulx...

This scares me. Pain tolerance isn’t necessarily healed. The next 15 years is more important than the next 15 days. Let the kid get to 100%.

Unless he’s been living on HGH in a barometric chamber. Which I’d believe.

Any other player on any other team and I'd be worried, but there's no way Pat is going to go from load managing him to rushing him back from injury.

Looked like a tweak of something rather than a real injury (hopefully) to me as well. I was thinking back or a hip flexor but I’d buy hamstring too.

Great to see Carlsson possibly back. Glad that injury was not as bad as it looked

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

That's nice, but it's clear that we have to have at least one first rounder out with a long-term injury at all times. So who's going to pay for this?

There is a reason why Jones is still on the Ducks after all

Yeah, I don’t see them rushing back a guy who is potentially their future 1C franchise player. I said earlier if it was a grade 1, Would not be the full 4-6 weeks. I don’t think it was luck per se, I just think him playing in the summer, getting a full camp, his body is stronger and able to take those injuries and are not as severe.

I think this is why Zegras is more frail now, he only played 19 games(Can’t count last night) this season with an injury in the middle. It takes players a long time to get fully game ready this is why camp and preseason is so important. Look at Killorn, I think he is starting to look like the player we hoped when he signed.

 

[Mr Rogers]

I wonder if by 'a while' Cronin meant Zegs will miss like a couple weeks and a handful of games but not necessarily like 1-3 months. Guess we'll find out soon

When asked when he thinks the heat death of the universe will occur, Cronin responded "It will be a while."

I dont think Z's injury last night had anything to do with missing time. He got tripped, went awkwardly into the boards, and his ankle went the wrong way.

Now the past injury, you are probably right but Z's injury last night was more of a freak think than a muscle strain type of thing.

Simple solution ... sign a first round bust on the cheap to keep on IR, like garlic against vampires.

If it works, I will accept a job as the official Medicine Man for the team. I have a wonderful selection of magic elixirs too. Mostly gin based.

That was supposed to be JONES!

 

[slippingsloth]

Does fanduel or draftkings have an over under for how long zegras will be out?

Can i bid the over?

 

[FiveTacos]

Not a high enough 1st rounder, that's like using garlic powder instead of real garlic, the vampires will just sneeze and then continue their rampage. Is Stan Chistov available?

I hear that Nick Ritchie isn't busy at the moment.

While I would love for that to be the case, the way his ankle twisted I’m thinking it will be longer.

I think he'll have a hard enough time remembering how to get to the airport as is.
