Injury Report: Nick Foligno (Lower Body)

[GoodNewfieBoy]

He hasn’t been that good when he plays and he barely plays. I want a mulligan on that trade

 

[ponder]

He almost played today, he probably won’t be out long.

 

[Nylanderthal]

If there's more uncertainty, that adds to the value of a late 1st.

Especially for a team who can afford to do what scouting and number crunching like we can

 

[MoeBartoli]

What a china doll this guys been. Can't play 3 games in a row without getting hurt. Gonna have to dig even deeper...

China doll? Suggest you check out his career stats. You’ll find he very rarely misses games despite playing a highly physical game.

For us he's been a china doll, I know his history and usually Power Forwards in their mid 30s tend to be worn down. When he's been on the ice he's been effective, but any hit now can flair up his lower body injury.

 

[Jozay]

Hopefully hes ready tomorrow

 

[mix1home]

Maybe that is plan to keep him fresh for tomorrow and rotate some players in / out as we see fit to keep energy up.

well there are like 5 guys i would sit but that would impossible.


thornton, nash, gally, etc. all need to sit a game

i would leave the first and 3rd lines intact and blow up the rest.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

So we traded a first for a walking injury. f***ing fantastic.

Idk if he should be walking rn tbh he's hurt ffs

 

[Menzinger]

The team is leading the playoff series. I get this place loves to talk about prospects but that 1st should be the last thing on anyone's mind lol.


He'll probably be good to go tomorrow night from the sounds of things

 

[DarkKnight]

What’s the injury?

 

[ShaneFalco]

Lol ok

 

[Atomos2]

Did Dubas know about this nagging injury when he gave up the 1st rd pick for this guy?
Sounds like something I would lower the price tag on.

 

[Menzinger]

Doesn't sound like he's ages away from coming back if he was almost ready to go yesterday

Right.
This is the one year where you might end up with a top prospect with a late pick.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Right.
This is the one year where you might end up with a top prospect with a late pick.

No it isn't.

 

[Menzinger]

Right.
This is the one year where you might end up with a top prospect with a late pick.

Or you may end up with a complete bust beacuse nobody has been able to see the prospects in person.

It's not as if the Leafs have any advantage in scouting during a pandemic

 

[Superstar]

Trade not looking too good for Dubas.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Trade not looking too good for Dubas.

He helped change the narrative in game one, doesn't that play a factor?

Also the playoffs aren't over. So who is to say he isn't resting up for an intense Jets series?

 

[The Podium]

Were walking over the Habs without him or JT and Foligno is obviously close, if not ready.

Probably just precautionary, wouldnt be surprised if he sits game 5 as well. Put them away while minimizing risk of injury to players who are not 100%.

I get that people here have an obsession with 1st round picks, but this is the playoffs and theyre only 4 games in. There is (should be) a lot of games left for Foligno to prove his worth.

Bunch of fans have to shake the loser mentality.

The human head weighs 8lbs

 

[socko]

Draft Schmaft?

 

[sxvnert]

Hyman Matthews Marner
Gally Kerfoot Nylander
Engvall Foligno Simmonds
Thornton Spezza Mik

I agree with you on him resting until we need him. And for people saying he hasn't done anything since coming here. He forced Perry to fight(something people have been wishing for a player on the leafs to do) was awesome filling in as the 2C in game two and we still have the rest of the playoffs for him to make a bigger impact.
This is the player we traded for at the DL, he has come as advertised and is delivering what i thought he would be when we traded for him.

 

[Leafs87]

I would disagree with everyone who says that he has not been good or worth it.

He brings exactly what we lacked and will only get more valuable as the playoffs go on
