Believe it or not most big cities can claim this convenience.

True, it's just likely a lot more convenient in Vegas.



That would be a pretty miraculously fast recovery time. Single abductor surgery recovery time is listed as 6-9 months, Kane is having both of them done.

6 months I would think would be the absolute fastest, 6 months from today is March 22nd, that's basically less than a month left in the regular season.

My dad had a double hernia surgery and said that was an absolute bastard. Mind you he was far past his prime when he was very fit and strong. Poor Kane has that and then some. Everything needs to heal properly, rushing back and reinjuring himself would be the worst case scenario.

Keep and mind he is getting the top level of doctor care and his only job in the world will be to rehab his surgeries

Keep in mind too though the time lines for recovery are often for non-contact activities too, lol, they're not accounting for you just stepping out and getting smashed into repeatedly with contact at an NHL level. It's more of a "yeah you could get back out there on the tennis court and play" and even then getting 100% strength back in the area takes a lot longer.

It doesn't do Kane much good to just get out there and reinjure himself, you would want to take extra time to make sure the strength is to 100%.

Francouz (Avs goalie) had single adductor surgery last summer and missed the entire season. Having double adductor surgery, plus the other injuries he has (torn abdominal), he will be fortunate if he's ready even for the start of the playoffs.

Isn't adductor surgery for a goalie more significant? Kane was playing through it (the hernia was what essentially stopped him not his adductors).

It's two adductors, two abdominal tears, two hernias he'll have to recover from.

Goalies may have it easier to be honest as generally they're exempt from most contact, forwards can get hit on every forecheck.

Some don't understand the complexity of the surgery and they don't understand the obstacles presented while rehabbing both sides of the body simultaneously back to full strength.
Not only that but he'll have access and $$ for things like stem cells and peptides that the common man usually can't afford that can really speed up recovery
Recovery could be fast. Recovery could be slow. But going from 99% recovered to 100% recovered should take him to the end of the regular season.

Kane can focus on getting to the highest levels of strength and agility possible for his NHL comeback. How long does that take?

Anybody know that if Kane is ready to come back in April, would he qualify for a week or so conditioning stint on the farm to get back up to game speed etc? I know it's been done in the past with certain players after a long injury, but just not sure what one had to do to qualify for this.

Goalies have it pretty hard too, you need to be able to go through your whole range of motion to make a save or move throughout the crease without it being painful or you are likely to play very hesitant with reinjury becoming possible as you have to continuously move throughout the whole 60 min. Demko having that lingering injury would be pretty scary if I was a Canucks fan.
