Danes might not all fall into the Swedish Back Syndrome…
Have some hope..Ehlers is getting good physio and is a consummate athlete with a nasty touch of berserker..

I'm a bit worried that getting Ehlers back after a sports hernia surgery won't be the boost we all hope. He's right on the cusp where research has shown that players have significantly (statistical, not colloquial) worse performance in the two years following surgery, and he has always been a player who relied heavily on athleticism.

Note that this study is a decade old, and the subjects had surgery between 20 and 15 years ago, so it's entirely possible that a newer study wouldn't have the same results.

Players who undergo sports hernia surgeries return to play and often perform similar to their presurgery level. Players with over 7 full seasons return but with significant decreases in their overall performance levels. Less veteran players were able to return to play without any statistical...

There have been some pretty significant advances in recent years in the number and the quality of treatment and outcomes for AP. It isn't a procedure I do, but I have several colleagues who work in sports meds and see it a lot. Ice hockey isn't a major sport here, but it's a very common injury in football and RU, among other sports, and has a high success rate of treatment / recovery overall.
There's no guarantee that Ehlers returns as the Ehlers of old straight away, but he's hardly a one-trick pony, and I'd expect that he can make a + impact this season still.
And, he's a Dane. These are tough people.
(I know, it's Swedish liquorice, but you get the idea).

Not his back, its his groin. With today's medical treatment i think he is able to come back fairly easily, might take a little time but i think he could eventually be even better than he was .

Expect the worst, you’ll never be disappointed.
Good to see Big Sak and Fly taking the trip. Pics courtesy of the Jets Instagram page.

Right now he moves like me on skates....(That is not a good thing)
I had the exact same thought - except I haven't been on skates in 30 years, so ..........

Wheeler may never be the same after this injury. (I hope he recovers fully, but that has to be a bad one.)

If it is what we think it is, it probably doesn't affect his game much. Might have some impact on his sex life for a couple more months until he fully recovers though.

Aren't we still waiting for a prognosis from his attending physician, Dr Jay Buenafe?

You need some to play tough though!
Wheeler should get the Big Sak nickname now !!!!
My uncle in law lost his nuts to prostate cancer when asked how he was doing he'd say.
"As good as a man can do with plastic nuts " .... lol what great guy he was.
