I could only catch the 3rd period, but did he even play a shift? I was looking at that big #64 and couldnt find him...
This is the one thing that I agree with Grant on is not wasting draft picks and development time on players who won't help you win playoff games. That is not to say that Sale can't turn out to be a strong playoff performer but the flags are very prominent and he would have to slip a long way for me to consider him.
He got injured on a low-ish hip check by Sandin and was squeezed into another player at the same time. The knee absorbed it all.
Crap, that sucks... Jiricek got a knee injury at some point last season and missed like 3 months, hopefully its not as bad...
Yeah it's unfortunate. But thanfully knee surgeries/recoveries have come a long way and are much smoother than they use to be. The issue is when there's a pattern.
This issue is also less exposure to convince yourself that he’s the right pick at 5. With a great tournament, it’s far easier to sell to the fanbase.
I don't think the hit hurt him it was the hyper extension when he landed. OUCH
oh I didn't notice how he landed. the hit itself didn't look too crazy. damn. hope he's alright
Yeah you see him grab right after he lands. That second frame shows the knee going in a direction knees don't usually go.
I can't disagree more....Even if it might not end up that way, Fantilli is the consensus No2. There's no way Reinbacher is the easy pick at 5 with Michkov or Smith or Benson or Leonard there.
