Stetcher skated yesterday and or the day before according to Stauffer. Otherwise radio silence.
Last I heard he was getting a second opinion. The fact it’s gone totally dark is not good news. I doubt we see him and if it is as bad as it sounds he might be a shell of himself anyway.

"Ask as ye shall receive" when it comes to Stecher updates I guess eh? lol Doesn't mean he is playing, but at least we have some rough idea of timeline and availability.

This is good news.
A friend of mine that usually has legitimate connections was telling me that he heard Ekholm has a torn hamstring and is done this year. I’m going to assume he got some bad info.

If only it was literally anyone other than Gregor reporting this!
Stetcher full participant in morning skate as 7D. Cleared to play.

I feel like they wouldn't be reporting this unless he'd make it back at some point. I'll assume he's back for the finals. Tough climb to get there if we have to get through LA, Vegas and then one of the central powers.
I’m not sure Ekholm will appreciate a casual private off the record elevator conversation about his personal injury status being thrown up on X by

He isn't playing, even if we miraculously get past Vegas. He is done if the rumors of torn groin or hamstring are true.

Knob said he will not play in the 2nd round, but there is a possibility after that. That's a lot better than "next year for sure." Although with the Oilers injury info, you never know. They always keep you guessing.
You also assumed Frederic and Kane wouldn’t play

You must be miserable that the oilers made it to the second round.

haha, they sure do, don't they?
It's playoffs as well, so I never really believe anything they say on the totality truthfully.

No, pretty stoked, especially with it coming with Pickard playing. If I was king, I would have been willing to sacrifice this playoff season to highlight how Skinner isn't the answer moving forward. But winning AND that being super obvious is a double win that I'm happy to take.

Skinner will be back in eventually and it isn't a 100% chance he'll suck. Pickard is a gamer but one of the teams ahead will figure out how to exploit a career backup over 7 games. Hopefully one of us is wrong.

Do you just pretend to be miserable on the internet? Some sort of defense mechanism.

And that we would get swept against the Kings. Let's all rush to hear what this guy has to say.

I'm not miserable at all though, that is what is hilarious to me. How could you be miserable with how good this team has been the last 5 years? We missed winning the cup by 2 goals last year, it was a wildly successful year that you'd be an idiot to not have enjoyed. I just don't buy into the idea of "blind fandom", if I think a certain thing, whether its for/against my team, I say it. I get that this isn't the normal behavior for FANatics, so its confusing to many people. It's just a am with everything in life, I look at things for what they are, rather than what I wish them to be. Most people do this in life, but make exceptions for sports. I do this same exception as well, just not as much as others I've noticed. I know people are are cold and calculated in work life, but are 140% homers in sports, as example.
I thought we'd lose by a lot against LA as an example, cause I thought our players were too injured and our tending too poor. They turned it around in both regards, although Ekholm being out still really hurt. I actually feel more confident about the Vegas series, although we'll still need a lot of tending luck to get past them. But with Kane and Frederic both looking like they are largely past their injuries, that completely changes the dynamic of our forwards. Klingberg all of a sudden being competent has been a strange surprise as well, that helps offset the loss of Ekholm. I'd still say we were the underdogs against Vegas, but I could see us beating them.
Anyway, this is injury thread, not a "what does JD think about the world thread", lol, so I'll shut up now.
