Player Discussion Josh Norris (C) 6’-1” - Part 3

[Big Muddy]

So, its not his head or feet/toes. And it's a "few weeks”. That really narrows things down then.

About as vague as can be lol

Pretty bad when they don't even say if its UBI or LBI.

It was clarified as "mid-body"

 

[Emerica]

mid-body??

The NHL needs to adopt the NFL model when it comes to reporting injuries. Enough with the secrecy

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Heard on TSN1200 this morning that he's injured? I missed the game on Saturday. Was said to be limping out of the arena.

Anything official?

Apparently he has a very high singing voice now.

Awww .... nuts ....

Glad that it might be a groin pull and not his shoulder.

The old saying that the best ability is availability seems to apply to Norris' constant injuries.

I don't think it's the back as they told us when Ullmark/Perron were out with back issues. Groin area sounds about right especially with Methot saying "nuts". Hoping that recovering from groin injury is faster for skater as opposed to a goalie. Maybe he'll be like Alfie and back right after 4 Nations.

Mid body sounds like a muscle strain or tear.

It could be multiple things…

- Obliques or Adbomen muscle tear
- Bruised or fractured rib
- Groin strain/tear
- Hip Flexor
- Lower back

The way he was hit and dropped his stick he for sure felt some pain or discomfort right away. Then he was limping down the tunnel and seemed to have a hard time getting his foot up. I would bet that’s a groin tear or hip flexor injury.


All of these injuries depending on the severity can go from 2-3 weeks for a strain to 6-8+weeks for a severe tear.

To come back after the 4 nations gives him 3 weeks from now… he might miss a bit more.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

When Green says a "few weeks", it means a month(at the minimum).

I'm pretty sure I have PTSD when I hear the word adductor though.

Good news is that nonsense tournament takes up a couple of weeks

 

[LiseL]

Just listened to the pre-game interview for tonight's game. Green said Josh would miss a couple of weeks. Did he mean 2 weeks in actual time or 2 weeks worth of games excluding the 4 Nations tournament? Because it was previously reported he'd be out for a few weeks, I think it means they expect him back the week of March 3rd.
