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

[EdAVSfan]

Imagine how much trouble our organization would get in if Nuke is indeed using again and we are keeping him injured until he can stop and pass a piss test.

Can’t they still test while injured?

 

[AnimalMother73]

Its likely a groin which can be unpredictable in terms of recovery

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Can’t they still test while injured?

Maybe, maybe not.

Certainly easier to hide him away if he’s injured, leaving practice early, not showing up to games at all.

 

[cccoltsicehockey]

Well f***. I hate this team.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

The guy waiting at the end of practice with the piss cup

 

[Avs2022]

In the long run, it's better for Nishushkin to be completely healed instead of returning early and re-aggravating his injury. Does suck that 7-10 days became this long.

 

[Frenchy]

is it nose bleeding or he's scare to be traded to chicago ?

 

[Raucherhusten]

Sooooo, 7-10 days turns into what, 4-6 Weeks? Well, we shouldn't be surprised. Stuff like that seem to happen ALL THE DAMN TIME. And ppl are wondering why we are so down on our medical staff ...

 

[hockeyfish]

f***ing cursed I tell you. All Kubel's fault. Trade for him and ritually sacrafice him to the hockey gods.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Yes

Won't get in trouble if nobody finds out.

Bednar said 7-10 days the morning after the injury. It's more than likely he was speculating on the timeline.

Bednar said on the radio this morning that Nuke said he felt good after skating for several days before that practice, and wanted to give it a go. He reaggravated it. It happens.

People here crucify the medical staff and trainers no matter what they do. They're mad he's missed more time than they were initally told, but they are also mad that he was allowed to go out and practice and reaggravate it.

 

[forsbergavs32]

It’s ridiculous how many setbacks our injured guys constantly have. Almost everyone goes from day to day to being out for a month or more

If this was the first time stuff like this happens i would fully agree with you. But there is a reason why we make fun of the d2d stuff turning into a career ending injury because IT HAPPENS ALL THE DAMN TIME! So be so kind and allow me to be angry about that. Will you? Thank you. Good day sir.

 

[Avs9296]

This team is in a world of hurt without Nichushkin. Its been like this for the last 4 years or so and sadly its still true. He's the straw that snorts the coke err I mean stirs the drink.

 

[dahrougem2]

The season is truly cursed. I would punt it, sell off every pending UFA to the highest bidder and go at it next season.

Anybody seriously believe we'll ever be healthy? Guys play banged up around the league all the time but this team has to have anywhere from 2-5 extremely important pieces out entirely at a time all season.

 

[missionAvs]

The Sens would lose a few picks for sure.

To be fair, Nuke is the only "important" guy out atm (i don't count Landy cause for me he isn't part of the active roster until he finally is), and they still play like shit.

We make fun of it because that's the term Bednar uses for nearly every injury regardless of how severe it is. There is a 0% chance that's what he's being told by the Dr's and Trainers. I don't like it either, but blaming the medical staff is ridiculous because we're never told the truth. We don't know what's going on.

If they would come out and say what the injuries are, and give a realistic time frame for a return, like they do in every other sport, people wouldn't be so upset, but that's not what the NHL does (especially not the Avs). They lie about injuries unless they are long-term/season ending. They even lie about upper body vs lower body. It's gotten so absurd at times, that coaches will just say "body injury" during the playoffs.

At this point, I'd rather they/he (Bednar) just says, "So and So is out with an injury. No timetable on return. He'll play when he's ready to go." Don't even say D2D or W2W or UBI or LBI.

That's how Berube is with the Toronto media.

"Yeah, ya know, he's banged up so we'll just see how it goes." He says shit like that whether it's a 1/2 day niggle or a month-to-month injury.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Here's Bednar's comments on Nuke on the radio this morning

 

[LOFIN]

That's how Berube is with the Toronto media.

No he f***ing isn't lol, or wasn't earlier this season. They talked about it for weeks in the Toronto media, when the team and Berube kept saying it was D2D for Matthews and then all of the sudden he's in Germany to see a doctor. And they then said D2D for Stolarz, which then turned W2W.

We're so fortunate that many posters here are more experienced and knowledgable than the Avs training staff.

Oh, that's exactly how he's been for Tavares currently and McCabe a week ago.
