Player Discussion Connor Zary, C, 24th Overall 2020 Draft

No fracture is good? Isn’t ACL/MCL stuff more from like an awkward bend than direct contact? I’m not a doctor

IIRC, ACL/MCL tears are a little more permanent than a broken bone and will never fully heal. It'll always be at less than 100% and will have nagging pain and inflammation. A broken bone can still go back to 100%.

You prefer MCL over ACL injury, but honestly, perhaps a fracture over either.

One thing to remember though, a broken femur can be EXTREMELY dangerous, even life threatening. If there is a displaced fracture it can cut an artery, blood vessels and/or nerves.

Great news to start, I don't care at all about Zary's performance this January would much rather see him be solid to finish and through the off-season hopefully team feels the same way and gets him closer to 100% than we have players in the past
 
I'm so happy. What a surprised, that was one gnarly collision and the way he reached for his knee, I just expected the worst. Wow. Hoping these reports continue to give us more good news on Zary.

No surgery!
Calgary Flames forward Connor Zary suffered a knee injury on January 7th against the Anaheim Ducks.

Following an evaluation process, it has been determined that Zary will not require surgery but will be missing from the Flames line-up for an indefinite period. Zary will begin his rehabilitation immediately.

Zary is insanely lucky. Very happy that the ligaments are not torn. Hopefully hes back skating soon.

You guys still have something functional you can call a knee?
 

“We’re hopeful that he’ll be on the ice — in a very limited way — over the next week or so,” said Flames head coach Ryan Huska after Thursday’s morning skate at the Saddledome. “He still has a ways to go, don’t get me wrong. But he’s doing really well with his rebab, so we’re pretty excited about that.”
