Injury Report: Freddie Andersen to be out until early February or March following knee surgery

[LostInaLostWorld]

Wow, such crazy advancements in medicine that they now have a surgery to fix mental health issues.

Lobotomies have been around for a hundred years or so. Just sayin'.

Damn Svechammer just beat me to it.

Yeah, and if anyone had confidently claimed that it WAS a mental health issue, they would be foolish. Good thing it was only brought up as a possibility and never stated otherwise

We've had them for a while.

And now her nephew is in charge of US healthcare

And he may eventually need brain surgery to get a worm out of there

I just look forward to seeing what reckless speculation is engaged in next.

I also look forward to browsing HF26 on days that end in Y.

The title of the thread should say “week to weak”

 

[Borsig]

You don't need to speculate that it was time to move on from Andersen in July.

The title of the thread should say “week to weak”

at this point it should say “indefinite”

And of course.....

Surgery on his knee out 8 weeks at least Lebrun says so about 2 months December January back sometime February

Glad to have more info and that it seems he'll be back well before playoffs. Bummer he needed surgery though.

Who knew you needed surgery to fix the flu... weird

 

[A Star is Burns]

It blows, but actually being able to put a bit more of a timeline on it is nice. Granted, we know Freddie is particular and it could end up being slightly longer than that even.

Thanks for the update....so Feb + 30 days Freddie factor gets him back in March which should be more than enough time to get him ready for mid-April. Don't like to hear it's a knee though.

The more things change.....fill in the rest

Hope all goes well and that he has a peaceful, uneventful recovery. Surgery with clotting issues is sometimes more complicated.

At some point… I mean, this is a 35-year-old goaltender having major knee surgery after having just missed most of last season. When does this become a Matt Murray situation where he just never really fully recovers, and is the answer “right now”?

I mean with all due respect to Freddie, we have to move on. He's basically done for the remainder of the regular season, and we really cannot reasonably expect Kooch-Martin to be enough to win the Cup this year. We have to make a trade to at least bring in a backup who can help shoulder more of the load, if not another starter. And once we do that, we really shouldn't look to go back to Freddie again late in the year. We did that last season and it blew up in our face. Don't want to have another season go to shit because a goalie who missed 75% of the season showed his rust at the worst possible moment.

And given his contract is up this summer, I'm not sure any other team is really going to risk taking a gamble on a goalie with blood clotting issues who is now going through major injury recoveries every year.

Whether he wants to admit it or not, he might have played his last game in the NHL already.

Day-to-Day = Week-to-Week = 3 months

I mean, day to day ended up being effectively a season ending injury if the current timeline to recover from surgery is correct

Have they tested this guy for some kind of medical deficiency (other than the blood clotting?). He cannot get healthy once injured unlike any player I’ve ever seen.

Boy needs some vitamin d and one of those b12 infusions all the rich actor types get.
