Injury Report: Copp placed on IR

[izlez]

I don't expect him to play, just extra forward

Copp is confirmed out and Ras missed half the game with a head injury... it seems pretty likely that we need him

 

[Ricelund]

Looks like he's going to be out for a while.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

I'd like to see Nate up potentially. Might be a good boost for him.

 

[minimal]

Feels like this makes the road to the playoffs that much harder. If Compher is going to step up, then now's the time to find that 2C form. Otherwise, please send him back to Colorado in the offseason.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

I hate how hockey hides injuries so much. Upper body, lower body. No timelines. Come on man.

Not when you're pushing for a playoff spot. If we start a big losing streak, then we can experiment with prospects.

Potentially got hurt(or was nursing an issue and it got worse) while breaking up a needless scrum over a decent hit.

Not realistic to me after a 2 week break.

If there is anything torn on his shoulder it's the end of his season.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

This isn't good. Sometimes the devil you know is better than the one you don't.

We really need JT Compher to step up.

 

[Henkka]

I think he’s just a precaution like Lagesson currently is.

It's for the road trip to Minnesota. Either isn't playing, Lagesson or Dries.

Call up Mazur, since Ras is probably out as well.

Mazur-Larkin-Ray
Cat-Kasper-Kane
Brgr-JT-Tank
Motte-Veleno-Fischer
Dries

You forgot Söderblom. Put him on the 1st line.

 

[SantosHalper]

You forgot Söderblom. Put him on the 1st line.

Indeed. I'd rather see Mazur there.

 

[schuelma24]

Stinks, but every team has injuries, and the teams we're competing with have it worse than us (knock on wood). Like others, curious if we see Marco back at C. Right now you can still make it work with Larkin/Compher/Veleno/Fischer...but that's certainly not great.

Why do people act like putting a highly regarded first-round prospect in the lineup will ruin our chances? I’ve never understood that logic. Copp makes plenty of mistakes all the f***ing time…

Copp is still a veteran with experience. Last I've seen, Nate still needs some more development before I can trust him in an important role with the big club.

 

[13to40]

Not a Copp fan, but this is a huge loss to the team. His boring defensive ability is exactly what the team was missing last night.

Hopefully Ras isn’t out too, but now I think Yzerman needs to make a deal before the deadline to add some more depth to this roster.

 

[DoMakc]

Either i have everybody who wants him gone on ignore list or wtf is going on in this thread?

Half of this board didn't want us to get DeBrincat either.

 

[Hazy Little Thing]

Less face offs won as well. If the team is protecting a 1 goal lead with a minute left, I sure as hell want Copp on the ice

I want Larkin and Raymond

 

[dalem177]

dislocation?

The only real injury I've ever had and when I see it happen - Gustavsson in net, DDK against the boards, whatever Copp suffered - I cringe.

It feels so WRONG to have your arm hanging 6" lower than it should and hurt like hell. And it LOOKS wrong.

Ugh. Fast Heal, Mr. Copp! You'll know when the pressure changes for a storm at least.

 

[HoweFan]

We’ve been quite fortunate this year with injuries unlike last year. Everyone else plays through them and so will we
