I'm sure NJ will add more this week but I like this move LaChance is a decent prospect...Every time watching Big Mike LaChance has stood out...

I work in an industry that supposedly needs to be careful about even the appearance of impropriety so something like this rings true for me.
Better for everyone to even possibly getting to talk about conflict of interests by not having the 2 meet whenever possible.
That narrative/argument also existed way back during shoulder injury number one. And here we are, two additional injuries later. It's all well and good to say these are "fluke" injuries that could have hurt any player. That's a true statement. It's also true, and is bearing out in real time, that unfortunately Jack may be more susceptible to those injuries than other players.
Does that carry moving forward? Impossible to predict. But pretending it's not a concern is just putting a burlap sack over your head.
Also not a doctor but I know shoulder dislocations can lead to more frequent shoulder dislocations happening but I have no idea what exactly happened with his shoulder to begin with.
Side note cause I watched the game on delay on Saturday but what exactly happened with Luke where he got that stinger? That was a concerning situation for a moment too. We gotta get these guys beefed up a bit.
The McCauley thing is a clear conflict of interest. I was surprised - another poster said we only had 4 games with him? But I feel like there were several that were sh*tshows with him as one of the refs.

This kind of feels like the year Kovalchuk got injured (his last year here) and was out for 10 games, where I think we went on to lose 10 games in a row (not all in regulation) after winning the game he got injured in.
We fell short of the playoffs by quite a few points, but I can't remember if we were still in a playoff spot or not by the time he got injured. If we were then it was just barely. But we had been struggling for quite a while even before the Kovalchuk injury where he missed all that time. In the end it was easier to write off that season as ''We lost our best player, we'll try again next year'' (not that there was a next year for Kovalchuk, but that's nothing to do with my point), but we were looking like we were almost definitely gonna miss the playoffs even if Kovalchuk didn't miss a game, as we weren't winning a whole lot with him even before the injury. Remember, that was also a 48 game season and while we had an excellent start, we didn't build up the type of cushion we did this year before that fell apart.
I think not losing Jack probably would have been enough to at the very least continue our slow coasting into reverse to squeak into a wild card spot, but not having him could be the difference between missing by a few points or more, if we don't start getting a ton of scoring from other places.
And we weren't getting a TON of scoring even with him in the lineup, but about two thirds of our (pathetic popgun) offense lately was coming with him on the ice.

This is more what Im focused on.
We have two really great centers at the top of the lineup, but more often than not both tend to miss a chunk of the season and that sorta sucks.
I'm a sixers fan so what is happening here with Jack is simply Embiid triggering.

The main board is gross. This board may be a bit crazy, but the main board is an out house of a place.

this happened on a phish message board i used to read and it led to a complete splitting of the board where half went off and formed their own because the other half couldn’t handle all the attacks and the damage was irreparable
it wasn’t one thread though it was a march madness style tournament and to be fair it was one of the funniest months of boarding i’ve ever experienced

Shoulder Dislocation - OrthoInfo - AAOS
In a shoulder dislocation, the head of the upper arm bone (humerus) may come either partially or completely out of the socket. To treat a dislocation, your doctor will place the ball of your upper arm bone back into the shoulder socket, a procedure called a "reduction."

I think it does compared to non-surgical rehab.
Ya it was 4, I went through every game. We also went 3-1 with him but even still I wouldn't have him be apart of any games with Keefe involved.

If you watch the videos, it's pretty apparent that he seems to always impact the board the same way.

Woooohoo! This is almost as good as the Facebook clickbaits about teams making important decisions
Oh for sure - but not back to “original” if that makes sense.

I don't think we are going anywhere either but saying Jack isn't an impact player is just plain stupid.

The one silver lining I see with the Jack injury is sort of like how I viewed bringing Keefe onboard. This is yet another opportunity for our supposedly vaunted core to step up and show that this team is more than just Jack Hughes. They’ve had chances before, the excuse was that they were still young or they had shit coaches behind the bench. No more excuses now. This will help us continue to see these guys for what they truly are. In some ways that is kind of exciting.
If the core steps up but the team misses the playoffs because of the lack of depth, I can live with that even though I’ll be falling for Fitz’s head. If the top guys are pedestrian for the rest of the season, that’s a much bigger issue.

Remember when Fitz was considered but us all as one of the best gms in the game? Ticking every box in the off-season?
Those were fun days
