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

I thought amphetamines caused constipation?

I know a cure for constipation. But I'm not sure how many people will want to swap it out with colorectal cancer.

Shit moves through me faster than a goose!

Not asking for insider information. Just asking you, based on what you're seeing...do you think he's back before or during the playoffs? Or, god forbid, not at all?

Seems like bunch of folks are worried about this whole swelling thing. I have no idea how much inflammation we are talking about here, so I have no idea how worrisome this should be. I just have a mental image of the archangel Gabriel Landeskog refusing to be told he can't play.

I am obviously a mega-fan blinded by my love of the man. But since I don't believe in god, but think I have to believe in something, I've chosen to believe that Gabe is going to make me stand up and scream in joy once again. I'm looking forward to my salvation.

Believe in the nordic god.

This will not be my final memory!!!

Nuke is on IR?

Nuke is on IR?

Allows them to add another player to the roster

 

[Foppa2118]

Nuke is on IR?

In Recovery.

I briefly scanned through the two pages and didn’t see any mention of it from beyond board speculation, so I asked

Edit - wrong thread.

 

[Gumballhead]

My kingdom for some decently written sentences.

If Val comes back before another injury hit, it will be the first time this season our 7 top 6 players (including Colton) play at the same time.

There it is, I jinxed it ;-)

We will never be healthy but if we get Nuke back here's what I'd role out.

Drouin-Mack-Rantanen
Lehkonen-Mitts-Nuke
Colton-Parsinnen-Innala
Kivi-Kelly-LOC

3rd and 4th lines get about equal ice time. Obviously Innala is playing too high up but that's because Wood and Landy are out. LOC should really be 3RW but the 4th line has good chemistry.

Starting to think Drouin has gout or something weird like that.

"When he's good, he's good".

It might not be a physical issue. In which case everybody needs to back off.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

I'm not going to push Nuke to come back from an injury too soon.

We've been down that road way too many times. Him actually going on the IR is a good thing in my opinion. That means he's not snorting coke to get through this.

Yeah he's snorting coke for the fun of it. Not for injury related reasons.

 

[the_fan]

So what does this mean for Drouin? Is he good or injured again?

 

[hockeyfish]

"When he's good, he's good".

That is also possible.

 

[Ceremony]

They're making it up as they go along with Drouin at this point. It's not an injury you need to manage but he's missing practice. Sure.

 

[Vaslof]

Maybe the pain is just too much sometimes.

This is actually a good observation. I'm guessing that the buffet table of available pain meds is - in Nuke's case - pretty limited. Nuke gobbling opiates for pain management so he can play through whatever he has is not an option.

 

[missionAvs]

Man oh man this Nuke stuff sounds like it might be worse than we've been let in on. The Drouin news is weird and I have no clue what to make of it.
