Injury Report: 2024-2025 Injury thread | HF’s Longest Thread Just Got Longer

I wonder how the lines playout with Art Ross Colton back. Does he stay on the wing? Does he go back to center? Does he bump Mitts down during his slump? (unlikely), does Ivan go to wing or stay at 3C (where he's done a decent job tbh).

I'd go

Colton-Mack-Rantanen
Lehkonen-Mitts-Nuke
Kovalenko-Ivan-LOC
Kivi-Kelly-Prospewhateverhisnameis

 

[Bender]

Drouin’s is a baby back rib injury

That's a delicious injury

Bednar said the other day that when he returns, he'll be a winger to start.

I'm gonna guess:

Lehky/Mack/Mikko
Colton/Mitts/Nuke
Koval/Ivan/LOC
Kivi/Kelly/Wags

Prish gets sent back to Loveland

'This is a Hail Mary': Inside Lonzo Ball's unprecedented 1,000-day return to the NBA

I suspect we all have some interest in this

 

[The Abusement Park]

lmao he’s exactly 5 weeks and 1 day since his broken foot.

This isn’t going to end well.

With the right amount of toradol anything’s possible.

I believe Bednar said he’ll play wing

 

[RoyIsALegend]

So, Colton is in non-contact and skating with the team.

Drouin and Manson ramping up, skating on their own but improving.

No word on Landeskog(has disappeared again for about 3 weeks now), Wood and Kylington.

 

[myperbixhurts]

Just keep Landy on LTIR and get a goalie. If he comes back in the playoffs then fine.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

So, Colton is in non-contact and skating with the team.

He's not in a non-contact jersey. He's in a white jersey.

 

[Raucherhusten]

He's not in a non-contact jersey. He's in a white jersey.

If he plays tonight, he dies tonight. And we all know it.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

He's not in a non-contact jersey. He's in a white jersey.

Thank you for correcting me, Sir Peckerskull.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Thank you for correcting me, Sir Peckerskull.

I don't believe I have been knighted... at least, not that I remember.

 

[hockeyfish]

LOL, what did I just see on Reddit?!?!?!?!

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Who will be sent to the shadow realm once these guys return?

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I feel like they already did that, but Monstar style where they sapped him of his abilities and left an empty husk. That’s the only explanation for him looking stellar, only for things to completely fall off with people coming back

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

Funny how people now say that the trainers/medical staff let our players come back too early, but no-one said a peep when Kadri came back with a broken thumb and Nuke was playing with an obliterated foot in the cup finals.

Playoffs is a different story. Risk it all to win a Cup.

... that's the Finals, not game 27 of the regular season.

 

[MacKaRant]

Well, if regular season game 27 isn't really that important, then why are MacK and Mikko playing 25 minutes in it?

So a player's health and safety only counts when we're in the regular season, but in playoffs f*** it go for it? If player safety is paramount that should trump anything, right?

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Because Bednar gonna Bednar

Nope.

Stanley Cup trumps everything.

Ask Gabriel Landeskog if he has any regrets.

 

[Metallo]

He's not in a non-contact jersey. He's in a white jersey.

White jersey aka non-non-contact jersey.

They shouldn't be.

A player can rest up and heal in the regular season. The playoffs doesn't allow for that otherwise your season may come to an abrupt end. The goal is to win. If you can sit out during the regular season until you're fully healthy, do it. If you have to play hurt in the playoffs when you know offseason is right around the corner, do it.
