Injury Report: 2024-25 Injury Report thread : Zegras (Out 6 weeks with torn meniscus)

[emptynetter3]

losing culture breeds this.....obviously not injuries but why would guys look to get back into the lineup (outside of personal reasons like contract year), when they could milk a injury and not have to deal with a losing environment......its not fun going to the rink when you are a bad team and we wonder why the ducks have so many issues with injuries....if this team is winning and actually playing for something, guys would be doing everything they could to get back in the lineup....they players have full control in these situations (especially teams in California) and they don't want to be apart of losing.

2nd opinion means its not a full tear which is good

What are you waffling about

It also means. Surgery or rehab.

I think he's trying to say Zegras is gonna take his sweet time because ducks suck?

 

[cheesymc]

Zegras will be back within weeks after Cronin gets fired. For now he can just “recover” with the help of Dixie.

Seravalli: Zegras Headed to Rehab

Relatively good news:

Relatively good news:

I wanted to say maybe meniscus but the aftermath seemed too much for it to be something that small. Hell ya, Ill take that. 6 weeks is probably on the long side too

 

[Static]

Yay! Thought he was done for the year

 

[Rybread86]

So the 2nd opinion was likely around "Does this really need surgery or will rest and rehab be enough?"

Rest vs meniscus repair vs meniscus removal of damaged tissue vs complete meniscus removal vs meniscus transplant from a cadaver.

Outside my pay grade.

 

[GermanRocket7]

That's actually surprisingly good news. Yay, maybe I can still get to see him play in May.

 

[Leonardo87]

Not terrible. Maybe Cronin will be gone before he gets back…. Wishful thinking? Lol.

Perhaps “my little meniscus” is Trevor’s nickname for Cronin.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Oh wow, that is probably the best possible outcome. Great news.

Nice of Killorn to volunteer. A real teammate.

So does mean that in 6 weeks Carlsson will get injured again when Zegras is back because this team is like musical chairs with the IR list ?

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

I told you guys they would announce if he had surgery.. And they did..

You keep your mouth clean..lol

If his skating is any indication, Killorn doesn't have any meniscus left to donate.

Our injured list is like a Ferris wheel... One guy is coming up, someone else is goin' down!

 

[cheesymc]

Congratulation to Zegras… he can get away from the negativity of Cronin and come back rejuvenated if Cronin is fired in a few months.

 

[Dryish]

A quick recovery time for a meniscus surgery probably means that they've only done a little removal of tissue instead of a full repair. It's good temporarily, but very often leads to an arthritic knee later down the line.

I'm not sure this is as good as it sounds. Z might have significantly shortened his career.

Edit: I stand corrected.
