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

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.

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

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.

We'll bounce back
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.
I mean, day to day ended up being effectively a season ending injury if the current timeline to recover from surgery is correct
