Heineman's message to the Habs fans

 

[Don D]

Apparently, a city employee hit Heineman while crossing two lanes to turn right.

3 weeks not bad at all for a getting hit by car.

I hope his wrist will be fine tho, his shot is a big part of his game.

Right wrist, he's a left shot.. so it shouldn't impact his shot too much.

Top hand is the most important

Heineman was at Complexe CN yesterday.

Wrist injury, As you can see he got a black bandage on his wrist.

Top hand is the most important

For puck control.

 

[Deebs]

For puck control.

And shooting. The roll and snap of the wrist of your top hand is incredibly important to shooting the puck. Either way....he'll get back to full strength in a month or two.

I think we would need to be more worried if a ligament or tendon got damaged but it appears to be just a fracture so I don't think we need to panic

Most definitely. Heine will be alright

For puck control.

Top hand is the dominant hand - opens & closes blade of stick and need to maintain strong top hand wrist roll for puck control & shooting

Poor guy. I got rolled over some dumb asshole's hood a few years ago and only managed to escape injury through dumb luck and sheer rage.

I miss him, such a fun player to watch play, solid middle 6 guy for the foreseeable future!

I remember the first time I seen the Toffoli trade and seen Heineman in it. Many were looking at the 1st rounder but I always thought the best piece in that deal was Heineman.

Size, Skating, Shot Power, Energy type. A great piece to have after our core. His IQ has shown because he is able to fit within MSL structure and that's not easy to do for young players.

What was it? 3-4 weeks?

10 days so far.

 

[Prettyisland]

Good that’s he’s keeping his legs fresh

 

[HespelerGreenFlash]

Top hand is the most important

Just gonna say the same thing. The top hand is verrrry important to the shot

 

[habbubba]

Can't be bad if he's gone for just 3 weeks,he'll be fine.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Top hand is the dominant hand - opens & closes blade of stick and need to maintain strong top hand wrist roll for puck control & shooting

Yeah it's dominant, but is it generational? Sorry, but I doubt that.

 

[Tyson]

Heineman has been out 15 days...is he still on track for 3 week return?

His return was always around when the 4-nations break started so...

 

[Skip Bayless]

I miss him so much. One of our only good forecheckers. Anderson and Armia can't do everything.
