If he was on the ice before, he might have tweaked something in his lower body. You don't really check your shoulder by going for a skate.

I don't think I'm buying that Chabot wrist thing either at this point.
He was 100% ready. That doesn’t require caution. Sooner or later we can’t be taking a cautious approach anymore

But Norris is a pro hockey player who is supposed to be 100% recovered and healthy, and they are already "taking precautions"?
Not a good sign at all.
Shouldn’t really be any precaution if he’s 100%.
I trust the Michael Jordan of shoulder surgeries

Possibly played in practice but wanted him not to take part in scrimmage yet.
Hoping for the best for him.

I have a feeling Norris might be on the wing this year.
One of:
Tkachuk - Stü - Giroux
Norris - Pinto - Batherson
or
Norris - Stü - Giroux
Tkachuk - Pinto - Batherson
Either would be a pretty nice top 6, IMO, and would leave a nice 3rd line of Perron - Greig - Amadio. I think that's a top 9 that is playoff worthy.
He is the early range to return, post operation on a shoulder that has been operated on 2 times already.
It's completely normal until told otherwise.
Not "playoff bound"? Too pessimistic of you.
I think they are 4th quartile bound; might flirt with 3rd quartile for awhile.
No it is not "normal" at all.
We were told he was going to be ready for the start of the season.
This does not bode well for him starting the season at game 1 nor for playing without an injury hindering his play.
However it is consistent with what has happened the last 2 seasons, which is not good.

How dare anyone call this man injury prone
He is not prone to all kinds of injuries! He is just injury prone to what used to be his shoulder and is now a floppy spaghetti noodle.
Yeesh!

Per usual embarrassing Ottawa media.
Should have been known by now if Norris is injured or not.
If Norris played for Toronto or Montreal, we have answers already.
I see lots of new media around the club who appear to just be happy to be invited but take not taking advantage of the opportunity.
Basically waste of space.

Imwhen he went off injured last year in positive there were people like “here we go with the over reaction!! “
Had the scrimmage happened yet? From what I understand Norris did participate this morning. Just not in the scrimmage

I say give Norris one last chance, IF he misses a bunch of games or plays poorly, then buy him out.

I'm not even sure what you're talking about or how it relates to my factual response that any linkage of his absence today to his shoulder is speculative.
Last year, we were told he tweaked his shoulder leading into camp and we saw the play he was injured on when he finally did blow out his shoulder. We knew in both cases it was linked to his shoulder
This year, he didn't participate in a scrimmage. That's all we know, anything else is speculation.
If it’s his shoulder you have to have the LTIRetirement conversation. It’s the last thing a pro athlete wants to hear but if he attempts a comeback every year that’s 8M of cap space you can’t spend in the offseason.

The surgeon who performed the surgery has never had a patient have any related issues following the procedure. Or that’s what he said isn’t it?
What media?
No local reporter for the Athletic. The Citizen had their experienced guy step down, Bell media let go everyone that makes more than minimum wage, Rogers is too busy having their guys hobknob the Habs and Leafs and the Sun has a walking balloon that can barely write at a grade 2 reading level.

That sounds like no more chances to me, and I am for that.
If Norris injures his shoulder and misses any time because of it being sore/not 100% they absolutely need to give him the news that his NHL career is over.
