Gaborik Injured - Out of Lineup

[bmr]

Looks like he is still being hampered by the same injury he was experiencing in the preseason. He didn't look right to me this year, so maybe it's for the best.

Get well soon, Marian. I sincerely hope that LW corps gets replenished for the time being.

Is Andreoff gonna be in the same line as Kopi?

They had Richards w/ Kopi today. Remember they tried that back in the day too. I think that may be a blessing in disguise for Richie. Andreoff will be in the game, but on a different line.

 

[Buddy The Elf]

Probably a groin.. right?

Fully agree. THought he was maybe just skating into shape, but apparently that was a nagging injury. Sucks--get well soon but take your damn time!

 

[Reclamation Project]

Thanks Obama.

 

[BretterThanYou]

How bad is this injury? Will he be back soon or is it unknown? I know the NHL.com article said no timetable, but I didn't know if a LA Beat Writer knew otherwise. Would you expect IR time? Asking as a Blues fan (playing you guys soon), a fantasy owner of Gaborik and a closet LA fan.

 

[Whiskeypete]

he hasn't exhibited any type of burst he is capable of in my eyes. groin, thigh or foot issue imo

 

[Omni Owl]

Ah ****. I know he's prone to injuries, but already?

 

[MuckOG]

The more things change, the more they stay the same. This has been Gabby's problem since day 1 in the NHL. Dude just can't stay healthy. As you can see below, Gabby's groin is made of glass.

Oh god, here comes the flood of I-told-you-sos. People have been excited for this moment since the trade.

 

[ADifferentTim]

Wait, I thought Mike himself hated playing LW, or so I heard in the past.

 

[bmr]

At under $5 mill on his cap figure, i'll live with that. Hopefully the Kings strength and fitness coaches can help him out if it's a training issue. Some of that is freak stuff like Justin Williams had to deal with.

[MOGlLNY]

Let's hope it won't be nagging him all season and we don't see this frequently.

 

[jimmy1100]

Gabby is just getting the injury stuff out of the way early. Kings fans should all know by now that the regular season is the time to get injured, have a slump, or just generally not play offense. That all changes mid-April...

 

[KingsHockey24]

Ebola!

 

[kingsfan28]

He got hit pretty good at the end of the Jets game, might've re aggravated whatever was bothering him before.

Since his hip surgery, a deficiency in his hip which caused his chronic groin injuries, in 2009, he has only missed time from Dec.22-26, 2010 due to groin issues. The hip surgery fixed the groin problems.

 

[Buddy The Elf]

OMG- I had no idea!

Blah baady blabaddy - lotsa injuries

 

[KopitarFAN]

I'm not saying it's the case here, but I wouldn't be shocked if over the course the season some reported "injuries" turn out to be bogus, and just cases of trying to buy guys rest.

 

[King'sPawn]

I'm not saying it's the case here, but I wouldn't be shocked if over the course the season some reported "injuries" turn out to be bogus, and just cases of trying to buy guys rest.

Wait, are you suggesting perfectly healthy players would sign off to lies about their health so they can be kept out of playing?

 

[Scottkmlps]

I'm not saying it's the case here, but I wouldn't be shocked if over the course the season some reported "injuries" turn out to be bogus, and just cases of trying to buy guys rest.

I just don't see Sutter and/or Lombardi going that route.

No, this "saving ourselves for the playoffs" thing has gotten to epic proportions if people really believe this.

This is the ultimate troll job.

I am just wondering who the poster is trolling more: (1) Kings fans, (2) the Kings themselves for signing this guy long-term, or (3) Gabby.

 

[KopitarFAN]

Wait, are you suggesting perfectly healthy players would sign off to lies about their health so they can be kept out of playing?

No, I am saying guys who are banged up, but can still play, may sit on a given night.

I just don't see Sutter and/or Lombardi going that route.

No, this "saving ourselves for the playoffs" thing has gotten to epic proportions if people really believe this.

I am not saying a guy may sit for weeks for this purpose, but you are all pretty naive if you don't think occasionally a guy sits due to general "fatigue" or something along those lines in order to preserve his health for the season.

Once again, NOT saying that's the case here, give that it is the 2nd week.
