His French is horrible (for a native speaker), he has to slow down and that helps him not put his foot in his mouth as much.

I think his French is pretty typical for someone from Orleans or Ottawa.

Obviously it's not at the level of someone from eastern Ontario or from Gatineau but it's certainly not as bad as you're making it seem. His French is pretty good actually.

And who are you to say that anyways? Who am I? Bert, this is in the doctor's hands, and whether you think Josh needs 7 or 8 months, that is completely irrelevant to world renowned shoulder experts and what they recommend.

4 to 6 months, let's take 6 months, means that Josh Norris will be able to play in the NHL after 6 months. This is not about wiping his bum, or other daily activities. The rehab begins as soon as the doctors feel he can start. He is not sitting there, waiting for 6 months to start rehabbing. If he has surgery this week. January 26, let's speculate, this will bring him to July 26, with still another 2 months plus of continued training and muscle stengthening

Ahem. Still not 100. More time was always going to help. You don't need to be a Dr to figure that out. Anyone that has had a major injury and surgery knows it takes a very long time to get back to being your absolute best. Just because you are deemed healthy enough to play doesn't mean you are at peak performance. In this case it appears that Norris isn't remotely close. Why they risked this and went this route was always a head scratcher. Given the importance of the player, the contract he signed, the age and reoccurring injury. That coupled with how far this team was out if it when he opted out for surgery. And on an even more macro standpoint when this team was truly ready to compete for a cup. It was never last season. Montreal was in a similar situation with Caufield they made the correct call.

Come on, man.

This doesn't contribute anything positive here.

There could be multiple threads dedicated to posting old thoughts from everyone.

Ah i mean there was a healthy debate about the organizations decision about him. The usual suspects defended it to no end. There were patronizing comments thrown my way for suggesting that he needed alot of time to rehab. Look at what I quoted. The irony of his comment deserved a mention in my opinion. It was pre mature.

It was the same with Batherson after the sprain. I feel like Norris will be okay and be able to play to start the season.

Golfing and taking NHL contact are two completely different things. If he opted for the surgery right away he would be stronger its not a debate and its a risk that never should have been taken. As I said in the post you quoted its one thing to be cleared to play (which he isnt) and its another thing to be fully healthy and strong.

Does anybody really think his shoulder isn't going to explode within the first 10 games of the season?
