Injury Thread '24-‘25 (Post 1 has current injury status)

[The Nuge]

I wouldn't freak out over the "we'll know more tomorrow", that is a pretty standard answer that almost all coaches gives. Obviously it would be better for him to say that it doesn't appear to be much, but saying we'll know more in a bit on an injury is pretty common. It's just how coaches speak in the moment.

I’m more concerned by his comment that Draisaitl came back earlier than he would have liked and now Drai’s hurt again.

When did Knob say that?

When did Knob say that?

It’s right at the start of the post game interview after the Flames game. He said he thought Drai should have had a few more days, but he came back early

Knob should've kept his mouth shut about that IMO.

That is assuming its the same injury, when it pretty clearly isn't at this point (at least from watching video). Coming back early from a knee injury doesn't matter at all if dislocate your shoulder by falling into the boards the next game. Just using examples, those aren't Drai's injuries.

Unless Drai re-injured the same thing, which again doesn't appear to be the case, whether he came back a little early or not from his previous injury is inconsequential.

He went down originally after stepping on a players skate and then went down again like a couple minutes after he stepped on the puck I think most people can see the link. At this point let him get better even if it means missing the remainder of the regular season.

I think everybody agrees here. We aren't playing for anything other than 1 more home game in the first series anyhow. Drai, McDavid, and Ekholm should all just sit out the rest of the year. Kane and Frederic need some games in though, so would be good for them to come back prior to the playoffs (Kane in AHL I guess, unless we LTIR one of Ekholm or McDavid). McDrai and Ekholm have all played recently enough that a little break isn't going to hurt their timing or anything like that. Health is more important.

The hit that should have been penalized, by the way. Not intentional, but still a trip. Like a high stick out of control.

Anyhow, glad to hear it's not serious, and good to hear it wasn't from the previous injury, proving he wasn't rushed back before he healthy, as per the theory conspiracists.

 

[North]

All in all that’s good news.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

That was a cheap play by Goodrow and should've been called a trip.

 

[KlefDown]

Bless the lord for this wonderful news

Rest up Drai, have a glass of wine and chill

Maybe by Easter we’ll have the whole roster healthy and resurrected.

Oof.

Hopefully 7 minutes and -2 isn't all we get out of him.

I have a bad feeling about this.

 

[McShogun99]

It’s all we get out of our 2019 1sr round pick. Probably shouldn’t trade for injured players at the deadline, especially if you’re paying a premium.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Oof.

They got 6 seconds of "healthy" play out of Frederic. He reinjured the high ankle sprain on that first shift extending for the hit and was obviously hobbled in subsequent shifts.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Imagine being so stupid you trade for an injured player get retention on said player that you don't even need than play him seven minutes for him to get reinjured. They better win the cup because if not I think the collective heads are gonna be called for chopping come summertime
