Injury Report: 2024-2025 Injury Updates

[salbutera]

What does this mean?

Teams disclose injuries after EVERY injury once they've confirmed the extent of the injury.

That's how it works in ALL of sports.

They just did it this morning with Reinbacher lol

Teams don’t owe “fans” jackshit

 

[NineteenSixtyFive]

Have we had any "fire the training staff/physio people" comments yet? If not, you guys are slipping. Obviously the issue is our team health and fitness department when knees get blow out.

That’s right. If fans don’t like that, they have the option of not supporting the team. It’s very simple.

Man...the good vibes on this board just a few weeks ago have evaporated.

What a time to be alive.

Wrap that Demidov kid in bubble wrap, and don’t let him answer his cell phone like in that horror flick.

IIRC they never revealed Slafkovsky's injury

I don't think they're gonna say what the injury is precisely.

Not reveal the precise nature of injuries...just announce that he's injured.

this isn't anything new.

I'm not exactly sure informing us as to which half of the body incurred the damage meets my definition for transparency.

Of course not, they've never been *that* transparent, that's never changed.

I was just referring to announcing how long he's going to be out for.

They're not going to tell us what ligament was sprained, or severed, etc.

Teams don’t owe “fans” jackshit

Correct...other than an announcement lol

Knee injuries slow down players.

Laine’s game has never been centered around his speed or skating.

 

[Whalers Fan]

Who said that?

They.

I hope you realize when I was talking about "the team being transparent with fans, when the extent of his injury has been become transparent to them", meant in terms of disclosing the amount of time he's going to be injured.

Not the specific injury and details of what was affected, etc.

I mean...not sure why this needs to be broken down, but just wanted to make that clear lol.

This is worse news than Laine. A 19 year old missing important dev time like this is near catastrophe. It also changes management’s plans for next year, where they expected DR to join the team full time. This won’t be the case now. Means they will need to go the trade-UFA way for a RD, if they intended to be competitive next year. And it prolly means Guhle will play RD again. Sigh.

Mailloux missed more time and it doesn't seem to have derailed his career. I don't know about trading for an RD. Mailloux has looked better in pre-season than Reinbacher.

They don't "owe" anything to the fans, but as a business that offers an entertainment-based product, I am sure they recognize that their fans are pretty important stakeholders that deserve some level of transparency and engagement as part of both customer experience and providing value.

In other news I've watched too much Inside the Rebuild.

 

[ReHabs]

Laine’s game has never been centered around his speed or skating.

I was referring to Reinbacher but the fact is that pro sports are games of tiny margins and losing speed can be a death knell for any player.

Why, did he move to Lebanon?

I agree with that.

 

[JoelWarlord]

The HFBoards Reinbacher telephone game with the Osgood-Schlatter's story turning into an ostensible track record of pre-existing severe knee issues on draft day akin to Lindstrom's back injury is incredible.

Same with the throwaway Hughes quote including "D2" morphing into "even Hughes thinks he's a 2nd pair D!!!!!!!"

Omg!!! Hallelujah!!!! Miracles do happen. Our Laine is going to be alright!!! Praise the Lord!!!!!!

 

[le_sean]

Now people can start realizing that Tony Marinaro is an absolute f***ing moron looking for clicks.

 

[YukonCornelius 5thOA]

Merry Christmas!

 

[The Great Weal]

Nice! That's great news. He need to play games for his sake as well. Still seems surreal that a nothing play like Dach/Reinbacher ends their season whereas Laine's looked awful and is gone for a couple of months.

 

[red devil]

This is much better news than I was expecting

 

[The Great Weal]

Now people can start realizing that Tony Marinaro is an absolute f***ing moron looking for clicks.

Besides him snapping at Bergevin, has he ever done anything worthwhile?

 

[the]

The countdown to Laine's comeback starts now!

 

[badfish]

What will I doom post about next

 

[Habano]

Best scenario we could have hoped for after seeing that hit
