I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not. But just for the sake of complete clarity:

That doctor has zero affiliation with the Blues, does not live/work in St. Louis, did not examine Broberg, and has absolutely zero inside information beyond the videos we have all seen. His "diagnosis" is not remotely based on patient/doctor interaction. His entire thing is using videos to speculate injury severity based on videos of the play where a guy gets hurt.

Ok. Then he if he isn’t the one who did the pushing and pulling, then never mind.

Whoever did the pushing and pulling understands the initial severity.

Is that better?

I’m surprised any physician would publicly engage in that kind of low data speculation.

It was my bad for jumping the gun and firing off that post without checking the source
I’ve done those examinations on my men many many times.

My bag.

I’d like to know what the injury is. I’m happy it isn’t a torn ACL. Maybe just a sprained ligament? 4-6 weeks will help the tank lol.

Take as much time as he needs. No reason to rush back. With 2 top 4 LHD and Thomas missing significant time, embrace the tank. Perunocich and Tucker for top pair, toughest defensive assignments.

Not sure even that would be enough for us to catch the bottom 4(I think Nashville surges at some point, but SJ, Buffalo, Philly and Montreal may already be out of reach).

If we don't make the playoffs is be pretty happy with a top 5-10 pick. If we don't hit a lotto pick.

Given the timeline and mechanism its almost without question a partial MCL tear with or without meniscus involvement. Just didn't look like enough rotation on the knee to think ACL imo as someone who works with sport injuries everyday.

Think this is a pretty good outcome for you guys all things considered. Hope he can pick up where he left off when he's back. Always liked the player and this shouldn't have any long-term effects on his skating.

My early take is that the real drop off is after pick #9(haven't got a good enough read on Mrtka yet to include him in the top tier but that package is pretty darn appealing).
If we're going to tank, we need to shoot for top 9. Otherwise, I'm not sure there's much of a gap between 10 and 25.

From the way his leg bent it would be the MCL and a mild sprain. Thats what lines up with the prognosis and why they are happy with it.

As we should be as well. Dodged a bullet there.

Gotta give random Twitter doctor credit, he was pretty spot on with his prediction. Especially if it comes out it's a torn meniscus.

Not to overcomplicate this, but I just wanted to clarify a point here. The ACL is one of the main ligaments in the knee. Colloquially, sprains refer to minor injuries of a ligament but can include full-thickness tears. Therefore, when someone tears an ACL and requires surgery, that's a sprain too. Here's an image if that helps.

Really thought it’d be more serious. Glad it’s not obviously.

I think it's understood that he wasn't making a diagnosis or treatment plan for the athlete. His knowledge and insight do provide some entertainment value, even if it's only limited to a video.
