Let's hope for the best. I didn't see that replay first as I said the Carolina color guys missed the injury entirely, but on "live" (actually recorded) I saw it from different angle, and it looked way worse.

When the arm bends the wrong way even a few inches, that can easily be a torn ligament and half the season lost.
Yeah, we’ll just have to wait and see. It didn’t look like there was any crazy extension, but who knows.
Looks like elbow got hyperextended. If that's it, it'd probably be a couple weeks out. I'll take that any day over shoulder or wrist injury.
Important bodypart of course but it heals to full condition pretty fast.
...Or at least mine did, althrough it was a minor one

Yeah. It's like 20-21 all over again. Huge opening game (now more like 1/3 of a game) and then nasty injury.

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst re Laine's injury.

So this probably means nothing is broken. I feel like if it was, it would be pretty apparent by now

Agreed, a broken or fractured bone would be felt - so hopefully it's just a deep bruise or a muscle strain, and he can come back soon.

counterpoint: the blue jackets have yet to run any tests on my heart, which definitely broke when laine skated back to the bench
Me too. I shouted out loud when I saw his agony, probably waking up some of my family members.
I am still puzzled how the Carolina color guys were so unaware of the situation.

That's the feed I was watching (no alternative) and I still haven't seen the replay. I don't believe they ever showed it, and if they did I missed it. I don't really feel like seeking it out, either.

Patty just needs to fire up a youtube healing frequency video.

I take that as good news! My heart sank when I saw Laine hunch over holding his arm after the hit.
I tried to stay positive and think of a personal experience from playing hockey. I once hyperextended my elbow playing hockey – I was pushed to the ice in front of the goal, had my arm extended when I braced myself against the ice and had a player skate right into it with a knee right at that moment. Scary moment, it hurt like hell, then my arm went numb for 20-30 minutes. It was sore for a week, but totally fine after that. I'm not comparing this to Laine's injury (which may be worse), but I know that it hurt like a b%&/h and scared me at that moment, but it turned out to be pretty harmless.
Did they say they already did the MRI?
And we're not expecting to see broken bones anyways. From a hyperextension you can lose months from ligament damage which isn't as easy to see as broken bones.
3-4 weeks if accurate and doesn't leave any lingering issues... I'll take it.
Sadly that most likely means he's not going to play in his home town games in Tampere, Finland. That sucks big time for him and the fans.

He'll miss around 10 games. Finland games are at the 3.5 weeks mark, so that'll be a 50/50 whether he makes it.

Ok, so there's at least a little hope to see him on the ice in Finland.
Time to give rock climbing a try.
so sad for Patty. Was really hoping to get a full season- Status
