Nah he's a really good player when he's healthy. And the injuries mean we'll be able to sign him for really cheap again.

Exactly. It may take 3 or 4 seasons, but we'll get that one year deal out of him

Our team doctor:

Could be ribs

 

[Hesher]

He missed 15 games when he was day to day. Week to week sounds like we might see Landy return before we see Drouin again lol

 

[BleedWell]

Could it be his mental issues are back...

 

[Foppa2118]

I don't know if this had anything to do with his injury, but every game it seems the opposition goes out of their way to take runs at Drouin. Been that way since at least he got here. I'm not sure why.

He's an effective player to target physically, but they run him more than guys like Mikko or even Nate.

Even ERod the other game took a late shot at him that forced Jo to get up slowly and then give him an uncharacteristic hard shove in the back out of anger.

On the ice skating, or on the ice writhing around in pain?

Yeah you're not the first to wonder if maybe it's time to take a mental health break.

Could be ribs

Or knee or hip or groin. Seems like ribs would have healed.

I'll never understand blaming trainers/doctors for players getting hurt during games.

That's like blaming the repairman after you crash your car.

You can't blame a repairman if you crash your car. However, if you crash your car and bring it to a shop so they will fix it for you, then drive away and the wheel comes off on a highway and you crash again, is that your fault or the mechanic's fault?

Maybe it's just bad luck. Maybe the altitude effects recovery time. Maybe the staff misdiagnoses our players and gives them wrong instructions how to rehab? Who knows.

So if you bring your car to the repair shop for engine work, and 4 days/games after using it, the engine is broken again, you don't blame the mechanic?

The conditioning staff and medical staff are definitely sus and should be re-evaluated.

You both need to re-read what I said.

Better analysis IMO would be to try and figure out what the root cause is.

Perhaps you have a high octane engine/playing style that comes with the downside of things frequently breaking?

Why? Their answers are appropriate for your post.

No one is blaming the trainers for Drouin getting hurt. What's questionable is how it was handled after he got hurt.
