Nurse BETTER be playable.

That is selfish if he is hobbling out there and is a liability IMO. I would rather throw a raw rookie in there

Is this confirmed?

According to the other thread. Not sure where that info came from though.

Anybody seen @5 Mins 4 Ftg around lately, he usually updates the injury thread. Hopefully everything is okay with him.

He last checked in this morning so hopefully all is well and he's just taking a breather after the heavy blow that yesterday hit us all with.

 

[McNuge]

Any news on if Nurse is hurt?

Lots of hints but no absolute statements about abdominal surgery, etc that have been going around.

Even if it doesn't require surgery, this apparent abdominal injury, 100% jives with how McDavid's game changed this season. Lot's of mishandling of pucks which was atypical for him, paired with a complete unwillingness to shoot the puck. Then of course, even when he did shoot, it appeared his shot velocity was way down. Last year he was ripping pucks past goalies with his wrist shot on the regular. That wasn't occurring this year.

It all makes sense.

I think everyone and their dog know this assessment and agree there was something wrong with him all season. That isn't my point. Any kind of surgery, other than say, tonsils, is serious, as opposed to just letting it heal on it's own.

Really great news about no surgery required.

 

[Fishy McScales]

Hope he'll be ready to go at 100%.

If this is what Connor does at 80%, the rest of the league should be concerned.

175 points incoming?
