Injury Report: Mitchell Marner ankle injury (will miss at least 4 weeks)

[WTFMAN99]

Saw the clip, can't tell if it's ankle or knee or both. Thank god he's young, hard to tell if it's a sprain/tear etc...could be weeks/months depending on severity.

kills me when posters complain about discussing hockey issues in a hockey forum, what are we here for if not to discuss hockey and all that goes with that??????????

To moan bitch and complain and to make believe that we are player , coach , GM , President , owner and scout,
That’s why I’m here man , aren’t you ?

I could do without the moaning and complaining, but you know..........cause and effect...............

 

[Nylander88]

Wouldn't hate seeing the lines go into a total blender tonight.

Mikheyev-Matthews-Nylander
Johnsson-Tavares-Kapanen
Moore-Kerfoot-Spezza
Timashov-Gauthier-Shore

If the Leafs say the dreaded out for 10 days we know he's gone for a couple of months

 

[Notsince67]

this injury is perplexing, neither a serious knee or ankle injury would allow a player to come on the ice during a TV time out and perform the edge work that Marner displayed, I wonder if the problem's higher up, perhaps a hip flexor issue or the dreaded abdominal tear?

When i was 16, I snapped my acl playing football and finished the game. It is painful but doable with the adrenalin and grit

 

[Carltons Cup]

Is there some reason we're not allowed to speculate on what might have happened? What problem does this create?

It creates a problem when people wildly speculate it's his ACL or MCL? Really? The Leafs even came out and said it's his ankle...

What's the "problem" it creates?

 

[Suntouchable13]

Very rarely does a team go through a season 100% healthy. This team should be fine without him for a stretch.

That’s probably why he had leave...

 

[Blueboy]

Injuries happen, hope he heals completely.

Also hope the team does better without him so the greedy little kid gets a wake up call.

 

[WTFMAN99]

If it's a high ankle sprain, the timeline on that is super unclear.

3-10 weeks depending on how fast it heals and no set backs. The kind of injury you can't rush.

 

[Mess]

Marner struggled without his centre JT and could find any chemistry even when playing with Matthews.

Going to be interested to see how Tavares fares now without Marner on his wing to see the cause and effect of that.

Tavares has a reputation of making his wingers better so lets hope whomever takes MM spot on the line is able to produce.

 

[paulhiggins]

Didn't see the game and the replay a bit unclear. It looked to me that both players lined up with their sticks between eachother's legs which seems dangerous to begin with. Then the Philly player tripped Marner with his stick and no penalty ? Was that how it went? It didn't look like Marner stepped on his stick like I read somewhere...

 

[leafsfan5]

please don't be serious

 

[Kurtz]

If he goes on the IR for several weeks, does that buy us enough cap room to be able to carry an extra forward for the rest of the season, I wonder... would allow us to keep Spezza.

 

[frizzer1]

Tavares obviously is an elite shooter, but with marner out we shall see whether he is still the playmaker and line driver he was with the islanders.
here's hoping.

 

[mouser]

Nope. IR/LTIR doesn't bank up future cap space.

I would rather that we brought up the big Russian.

Korshkov would bring size and grit, along with a healthy dose of skill.

 

[Keon1963]

please don't be serious

Nobody on this board is really serious. We have conspire theorist, Proctologist, Seventh Day Adventist, worlds most knowledgeable Physiologists, and a few Leaf fans.

 

[Notsince67]

Didnt say what i did was smart. You risk all kinds of damage to your meniscus doing dumb shit like that.

 

[Sniper99]

haha he has a decent game or two and all of a sudden this kid is worth every penny

you know how it goes

we lose one and babcock and the entire team need to be fired

we win the next one and we're on route to the cup

HF at its finest.

 

[JustinCase]

We'll be fine. I wouldn't change the lines too much, just sub Moore in for Marner, and adjust accordingly.

 

[Luminiferous]

At least the team is above .600

 

[HogTown06]

Terrible news, hope he recovers quickly, I for one enjoy watching Marner play regardless or his salary. Can't wait to see him playing with Tavares and Hyman.
