Injury Report: Drake Batherson Ankle Injury

[Upgrayedd]

Post-game, DJ Smith confirms that Drake Batherson suffered an ankle injury and will be out for a considerable amount of time, missing the All-Star game.

An inside source I know has informed me that it's a high ankle sprain.

Sweet mother I hope not...I mean its reasonably ish better then major knee but worse then a broken ankle imo, had one before and took forever to feel right.

Dell rebranded as Lenovo. Which is still one of the best computer manufacturers out there.

Nope. IBM sold off their personal computer business to Lenovo, ThinkPad and the like.

It wasn't a rebranding and it wasn't Dell.

What a gutless play and the ASS was smirking in his interview like he was proud of what he did the NHL better suspend his ass for a long time and start protecting the stars in this league that put up with this type of garbage way too often by untalented scrubs

Doesnt change the fact that Dell is an asshole

If anything it makes it more true.

Precisely why physical retribution is important in hockey. Dell should know he'll have to answer for that high school level brain cramp.

Formenton had a chance to light Dell up in the 2nd period but he let up and tried to stick check him.

Two wrongs and all that but I wish he had skated right through him.

Didn't see Dell interview but he was definitely smiling right after the cheap shot when Brady was chirping him.

 

[Yak]

Screw you Dell, acting like you did nothing! Is okay, karma is coming for you buddy!

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Let me ask you all one question!

You rather have the win or take it to the Sabres?

Both were possible.

 

[The Waffler]

Duck Fell!

I thought we were building a hard-to-play-against team of high character and gumption? Isn't this why we draft the Tyler Boucher's of this world?

So why did we respond to this cheap shot like we were the Leafs?

Exactly. I do not condone unmitigated or even overzealous acts of violence; but a response was absolutely crucial there. He has a history, so it was not a mistake. Absolutely unbelievable Watson didn't steam roll him. That was inexcusable.

The only silver linings:

We get to see what Norris can do without Drake before we ink his deal.

It will help the tank.

We get to possibly showcase some guys with more ice time before the trade deadline.

HAS should be 6-8 weeks, no? It’s a shitty injury but pretty common in football and guys can come back without too many lingering issues. Suppose it could be more severe in hockey.

Tkachuk isn't a Landeskog yet, Landeskog is the type of captain who steps up for his teammates, a lot of growing to do for the Sens C.

Cheap shot by Dell, got away with murder.

Tkachuk has stepped up for his teammates plenty of times, it's a different situation with a goalie, you can't just tell him it's time to go and drop the gloves. Besides, guys like Watson and Brown are the ones we ostensibly dress to deal with dirty crap.

Someone has to go after dell or one of the better players. HAS to.

 

[dumbdick]

Anyone else think Watson looked super effective when he was crashing the net more to antagonize Dell? That should be his game all the time.

 

[dumbdick]

As for retribution, that either has to be Murray stepping up to fight Dell, or Tkachuk gets a free ticket to break the code and dance with a skill guy who normally wouldn't fight.

When I watch Formenton I often find myself wishing he would drive the net more assertively. The play you are talking about and the partial break he passed off, were a couple examples from last night.

Watson definitely had a big presence in that game last night, he should try to play like all the time for sure.

In case you needed a laugh. The comments.

Haha what is with that picture? Matt Murray looks like Van Gogh in Clone High.

There's a lot of accidents in a sport like hockey. Most of the time, players don't intend to hurt when they hit

But this was stupidly dangerous and it resulted in a severe injury to our best forward. He better not have affected the Drake long term...

Talk about becoming an instant public enemy. Get this jerk out of hockey, he's the Matt Cooke of goalies

All my Dell material is going to garbage this week

I expect everyone to do the same

By the way, I try my best to recycle everything. I never put any electronics in the trash

I also never had any Dell product in my life. Now I understand why

 

[bert]

Given that this is atleast the 3rd time I think you may see other players light him up if he tries it again.

She "apologized" for the pic with a (light hearted/exposed) picture of herself after dental or facial surgery on her twitter feed ...

 

[WhoozYerrDaddy]

Honestly I hope the team sends him back down to the AHL and benches him

Hey, now ..... the Amerks don't want him either.
