2024 - 2025 Injury Reports

[ScratchCatFever]

I juet feel awful for how Tucker's season had to end. For a guy who was written off by most of the board a year and a half ago (myself included) as a career AHLer or at best 7th or 8th defenceman, he sure played well above that level once Monty came on board. He chipped in some big goals down the stretch and established himself as a physical presence willing to step in front of hot rubber. I'm not too sure how much growth he has left, this is probably pretty much what he is, but on a team with a solid top 4, he seems to have a path to be in a top 6 and at worst a 7th d-man. His growth makes me curious if we should hold off on calling Kessel a lost cause as he's had a similar arc that Tucker had after getting called up, struggling, then being sent down and coming back a more well rounded player.

Army confirmed on the conference call that Holloway had surgery. Should be ready for camp though.

Said Tucker's injury was non-surgical but he would’ve been out longterm. Don’t recall if be said he should be healthy for camp but considering they don’t think he needs surgery, I’d assume the prognosis is he’ll be fine.

Per Strickland's podcast: Holloway had surgery weeks ago and it sounds like core/oblique

Doesn't sound like Thomas or some of the other guys are going to surface their injuries (he was just asked)..."I was able to play"

Rivers made it sounds like guys were pretty banged up with lower body (Thomas, Schenn, Parayko), and a few upper body issues particularly someone who was having trouble eating. All that's to say, doesn't sound like we're going to have a lot of major surgeries to recover from beyond Holloway and Tucker.

Still waiting for Monty and Army's presser.

Did Tucker have surgery?

Edit - no.

Edited my post, but Lou K is now saying it was Holloway's left hip.

Pure speculation, but I wonder if Holloway broke a rib and punctured something internally. In the hit that got him, McGroarty butt-checks him in the mid section as he's crouched over, so his mid-section gets pinched between the boards and McGroarty's posterior.

I saw the same thing you did.
