Injury Report: Injury Thread Pt. II (Del Zotto has surgery to repair sports hernia)

[Kreider Typical]

I'm fairly certain it will come out that Nash is playing hurt. He was dragging his leg much of the game last night.

But it's the playoffs.

either hurt or completely unconditioned

 

[Clowes Line]

Nash doesn't get a pass in my book, even if its a leg concussion.

*Groin concussion

 

[broadwayblue]

Nash has been banged up for a while. Unfortunate.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

either hurt or completely unconditioned

Well he hasn't played past game 82/48 for majority of his career

 

[Thirty One]

Well he hasn't played past game 82/48 for majority of his career

He would play in the World Championships almost every year after his season was over.

Well, when you're in pain in a specific region, there's only so much you can use that specific body part. If your legs are taken out in hockey, you're practically useless.

[Balej20]

Any chance either of the injured Rangers toughs it out to play tomorrow night?

 

[Vickers8]

One shot in the eye is killing us, Staal plays at full strength the whole series, the series is over by now

Agreed. At some point he's gotta tough this out though.

 

[Vickers8]

I know it won 't happen, but wow a lift for the team if he somehow played tommorrow, kind of like how he surprised us playing in the winter classic

 

[LeetchisGod]

It is disconcerting that Staal's eye hasn't recovered yet. Hopefully the offseason will be enough time for him to be at full strength next season. It's even more annoying that he wouldn't be injured at all if he was wearing a visor in the first place.

 

[BB58]

Gotta wonder if its a permanent damage.

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Gotta wonder if its a permanent damage.

We have the worst luck with D-man.

First Sauer, and now Staal could potentially have permanent eye damage.

I can't forget that cheapshot from Phaneuf. He lost our own homegrown Hamonic because of that ****bag.

 

[Crease]

Phaneuf's hit on Sauer was clean. If Sauer had his helmet strapped on properly, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

 

[UnderPSI]

Thank you. I can't believe people still rag on Phaneuf for that hit. That was a clean hit. (on a side note, wished we even had a defenseman that can hit like that) If anyone is to blame, its Sauer for having his chin strap so loose. Its a crummy situation but it is what it is. We all miss Sauer and wish him a speedy recovery but take off the homer shades ffs.

 

[Ail]

Agreed. At some point he's gotta tough this out though.

It's not really about toughing it out. If the guy has depth issues or blurring he becomes a detriment to the team by playing at a disadvantage. Could you imagine this board if Staal missed a poke check or flubbed a turnover for the GWG because of his eye? Crucified, burned and buried.

I agree with you, ******* ruined his career

Even with blurred vision, he's still better than Em

 

[bogans]

With blurred vision or worse, he is a detriment to the team and, even worse, potentially to himself. Without full vision, he could take a blind hit that he would normally turn away from, which could leave him in worse shape. Get healthy Staalsy, hopefully we see you soon!

 

[Vickers8]

Wonder if Em has blurred vision?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Wonder if Em has blurred vision?

Maybe Del Zotto as well, considering his shots 'on' goal

 

[Vickers8]

Wow, don't think he could get a slapper on a soccer net

Part of it is Phaneuf's ******* personality. Beating his chest while his old man is up in the stands high fiving his pals. It's kind of like Chris Pronger or Scott Stevens--they doled out a lot of injuries during their careers and it's not disturbing at all that both their careers ended with concussions of their own. Karma.
