About as vague as can be lol

i wonder if they didnt say shoulder to avoid the panic...but by being this vague it has created the panic

more of a bummer.. man he was just hitting his stride and making an impact on games. Another dent in the lineup to deal with at a terrible time. Sucks

It doesn’t look like a shoulder injury and honestly if it was I don’t think we’d be talking about a “few weeks”. But you never know I guess.

Hoping he’s ready to go after the break, but it really sucks not to have him for the two Tampa games in particular.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Still hoping it's an injured testicle and not his shoulder.

 

[ToastrStutzle]

You don't brace yourself on the boards with both arms getting off the ice if you just wrecked your shoulder.

Didn't seem to me like he braced himself on the boards. He didn't apply any weight at least in the angles I saw.

But we'll see! Hope he's not gone for long.

He finally got to the level we hoped. And then injured.

Wtf? Why? How?

Huge loss. At least the 4 Nations is at a good time. He will almost 3 weeks before we play the Habs at home.

Poor guy though. It is hard on the head to constantly be recovering from injuries instead of just playing and practicing as normal. The PK and the 2nd unit PP take a bit hit here, along with the 2nd line.

The boys are going to have to dig deep and really rely on their defensive structure to get through this.

yeah it didnt look like his shoulder to me either. However this speculation could have been avoided if they just said lower body injury or whatever

Ideally few weeks means he is back by Feb 22 or Feb 26 at latest

hopefully we can get 4 out of 8 points going into the break

Last year he played 50 games and was out for the year
This year he played 50 games and is out again.. we will see how long.. too long as of now

Oddly in both years he was just really coming around... this year better than last but still he was showing he was really finding his game and wham on a weird play he is gone again

pretty similar... 3 shorties this year

 

[bicboi64]

Norris plays so damn hard and gritty. I love it, but it raises so much anxiety when he gets hurt

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

FFS. Per Garrioch he is out for a few weeks.

Lower or upper body…

[Sens of Anarchy]

Nuts or Ribs ?

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Sounds like mid body injury according to DB

Well, it's being called a mid body injury, I suspect the crosscheck caught him between the pads, maybe cracked a rib? it's that or I guess a back related issue.

Definitely not

 

[Icelevel]

Thank god it’s not shoulder. Rest up JN and get back ready to go.

 

[Senscore]

Definitely not

I hereby close the debate

 

[GCK]

I think it’s his spleen and he will be out until game 1 of the playoffs.

I think it’s his spleen and he will be out until game 1 of the playoffs.

I didn't think it was hard enough to injure his spleen but .. wtfdik
that seems like more than a few weeks

 

[Burrowsaurus]

He’s out for a few weeks or out of the lineup for a few weeks. There’s a break coming up

I think bracing himself was not a great description.

When he left the ice, he put both hands on and used both arms on the bench to lift him off the ice that 8-10 inches or so. Wouldn't be the kind of thing you would do with a shoulder injury and definitely not with the extent of the shoulder injuries he's had. I felt pretty confident as soon as I saw that.
