Player Discussion Patrik Laine

[26Mats]

He'll be back *in* January imo

It's not the ACL so you're gonna see him again this year

I haven't seen all the details and I don't think anybody does.

It's not exactly reassuring hearing these reports that he got different opinions from doctors and then HE, Laine, made the decision not to have surgery. I hope for the best...

Hughes said the ACL wasn't damaged, return to play wouldn't be 2-3 months if it was anyway.

We'll see what happens. The previous regime clearly allowed Weber to pkay through injuries and come back too early and it cost him his career. For sure I have more in the new regime. But the proof will be in the pudding. I also remember Gallagjer coming back early from concussions. At first it was such great news.
Then he got injured all over again. Time will tell...

I have real doubts he's back before January, if at all this year.

You're really a glass-fully-empty kinda guy?

Hughes/Gorton cleaned-up the medical/fitness staff after their first full year because players were returning to play too early or the staff let them play with injuries. They learned from that.

Yeah good luck getting that surgery in a 2 days notice.

You don’t need the surgery until swelling has gone down anyway. The injury is neither life threatening nor particularly painful.

If it will heal to 95% without surgery I would choose not to have one, but I’m not a professional athlete.

I expect your point was more about money, politics and general state of medical care. If so, I agree with the sentiment.

Yes it was

It depends on the situation of course but if you can avoid the knife, all the better. That being said, knee surgeries and their success rate has improved infinitely over the past decade.

I’m on the field somewhat so I definitely understand, but I also understand the points he made and respect the mans knowledge on the matter

At times there are situations where it’s a must to have a surgery but with todays physio you more often than not get better results without one

Hope for the best. But the reality will be the reality when HuGo return.

Stop putting "DRs" in some sort of final word etched in stone.. the same Drs who advocated for masking outside in groups larger than 10. Ffs.. lol.. you cant make this up.

Drs are just people, regular people.. many of them only know what they are allowed to say, to keep their medical license.

If Laine wants to rehab without surgery, good on him.. he knows himself way more than any Dr.
