Injury Report: Bernier lower body injury (not believed to be serious)

[ULF_55]

A week or month does it really matter?

Team is solid and doesn't need a goaltender to cover up for being defensively incompetent.

 

[Jeffler]

Kyper and Jeffler (Yes I know) both said that he'll get called up.

ouch

on Leafs Lunch: Bernier has a low grade groin strain

What does that mean? Is that really bad?

What does that mean? Is that really bad?

Carlyle said it's not serious. Listed as day-to-day.

 

[indigobuffalo]

Taped in the early goings of the season... I believe i JML was on it

Yes he was. Camera spent way too much time on McLaren too... with his mullet...

 

[MrDiddlez]

Leafs medical staff saying it's not serious? Well he's dead.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

What does that mean? Is that really bad?

-A mild (Grade 1) groin strain may not be very painful and may not limit mild or moderate physical activity.
-A moderate (Grade 2) sprain causes moderate discomfort and limits or prevents running and jumping.
- A severe (Grade 3) strain causes pain doing almost anything

Grade 1 symptoms usually disappear within a week; Grade 2 symptoms last 2-3 weeks; and Grade 3 symptoms can persist for 6-8 weeks or longer.

Just make sure he's really ready when he comes back.

Don't feel comfortable with Reims. Hopefully he cleans it up with more games under his belt but I just firmly believe in Bernier now and hope he returns 100% as soon as possible.

Leafs have a chance at home ice in the playoffs for the first time since...I can't even remember. Standings are very close. Leafs have to seize this opportunity.

Come on Reims be good!

 

[EdBelfour20]

I have faith Reims will pull out a couple wins in a row here for us. He is a good goaltender.

Same, the problem with Reimer is his rebound control. Reimer's incredibly athletic and he usually will make that highlight reel save that he wasn't supposed to make. On the flip side, he'll let in goals that weren't supposed to happen due to poor rebound control, or kicking rebounds up into the slot. I think that's why a lot of people perceive him as a bad goaltender, he'll kick out 2 bad rebounds and they'll score 2 goals and then he'll make 2 highlight reel saves. If it was the other way around, he didn't let out rebounds but didn't save the highlight reel plays, fans would probably be more comfortable with him.

It's just another case of the bad leaving a more bitter taste in your mouth than the good.

According to that description it sounds like he went from a level 1 to level 2 strain therefore is out a week.

Toronto Maple Leafs ‏@MapleLeafs 22h
Carlyle: Bernier had an MRI today and has a low grade groin strain. Believed to be day-to-day.
Paul Hendrick ‏@HennyTweets 21h
Bernier's MRI today revealed a slight groin strain. He appears to be day to day according to randy Carlyle.

Dreger "Bernier won't play the next 2 for sure, but I've been told it's not serious at all. About pain mgmgt & how he responds to treatment"

 

[JackJ]

Still hasn't touched the ice yet.

 

[Baba Ganoush]

Just make sure he's really ready when he comes back.

for sure.

hopefully he's back quick...but if not, here's Reimer's chance to live up to his own hype. The next handful of games are the biggest of the season.


this week:
DET
TBL
MTL
NJD
next week:
STL
PHI
DET

sure it's been said, but Bernier gets hurt/Reimer steps in at a time where we have 5 games in 7 nights, and the only game that isn't a critical division/wild card battle is against the best team in the NHL. heal fast JB!

 

[nsleaf]

Pulled a groin muscle many years ago playing baseball, not fun, felt like a permanent kick in the pills.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Groin injuries in a goalie scare me.
Wonder if Bernier has tweaked his groin before ?

You can blame it all on me.
