[red devil]

This sucks for Monahan and the Blue Jackets. He was having an incredible year in a difficult situation.

Poor guy has zero luck with injuries.

Poor guy has zero luck with injuries.

And still tries to play through injuries too much, if he injured his wrist Jan 7th like it says

I wonder if he tries to play through injuries because hes missed so much time due to injuries?

He's been doing that his entire career in NHL. I was hoping he had learned after traded to Montreal, but doesn't look like it.

Flames fans know this song and dance. He wasn't the same for years after his wrist injury from before.

It was less the wrist injury, and more his shoulder and multiple hip injuries that really hurt him.

Sucks for Monahan. It does make you wonder what kind of career he could have had without all the surgeries.

I think the back is new for him. In Calgary it was wrist, hips and shoulder.

It might surprise some people that monahan has played 124 consecutive games without injury prior to this.

I feel bad for him to go through another major injury. It was looking like maybe these days were behind him.

The last game he played? He hasn't been back since the injury took place

I havent followed him that much this season, so I thought this was an injury that happened in Jan 7th and now turned out to be more serious, so I was wrong.

Good for Monahan to understand to stop playing and get healthy.

There was an intial report with nothing broken they expected it to be a fairly quick return but also need to wait for the swelling to go down to get a better look at what other damage was actually done.

Since being out Fantilli has taken that 1C role and while not the player Monahan is at this point in his career he's done very well. he has 11 points in the 10 games since getting that role and just played 26 minutes last night. Between playing with the Russians and learning from Monahan it's gone better than I think most of us expected

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Sucks. I was hoping this guy would stay healthy
