Injury Report: Sandin out Weeks

[JT AM da real deal]

Losing D is normal in NHL .. we need to get another one today .. and a big nasty one too for 3rd pair

Definitely not. Dermott was out with Sandin healthy. Giordano (for now) basically replaces Sandin on the roster, so Dermott would still be on the outside looking in.

Except they need more depth for the playoffs when it’s hard to count on Muzzin finishing a series or how Sandin will be if it’s a serious knee injury.

 

[saffronleaf]

perfect timing, too late to add anything to address the issue or benefit from any cap savings

Well Leafs don’t get Giordano or Blackwell unless Dermott is moved. So who would you rather have the aforementioned two or Dermott?

Glad they got Gio. I have no opinion on Blackwell. If they thought Sandin may be out long term, they should have waited before shipping Dermott and not taken on Blackwell or used more of their LTIR space.

 

[DarkKnight]

FML.

Looks like a shoulder to me. Damn.

 

[crump]

That leg does not look right.

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Hopefully he and Muzz can get back by playoffs. On the bright side Liljegren can keep playing in case Lyubushkin/Holl regress down the stretch.

Pairing him with Gio would be extremely interesting.

ACL is months not weeks. .MCL would be weeks

Months? More like 8 months to a year. ACL reconstructions are no joke.

 

[The Iceman]

Ideally once playoffs start some form of the below 6 will be our starting D.
Rielly - Lybushkin
Gio - Brodie
Muzzin - Holl

Dubas had insulated Sandin and Lilly from being playoff starters which was a wise move. One more year of growth before being thrown to the playoff wolves is best.

I would try out Lilly with Muzzin to see if there is anything there first.

 

[crump]

Odd injury. Sandin was on the ice with 2 minutes left in the last game. He looked fine, wasn't favouring the leg. He simply finished his shift then didn't return. Hopefully its something that just requires rest or immobilization for a few weeks. He wasn't carried off the ice.

According to CapFriendly Sandin is on LTIR

I’m really excited to see Liljegren paired with Giordano. Playing with a guy like Gio will definitely help Liljegren’s development. Has the makings to be the best third pair in the league.

I mean Sandin-Liljegren were already arguably the best 3rd pairing in the league both offensively and defensively anyways.

Adding Gio could definitely make it so. I would almost reduce the Brodie/Holl/Rielly minutes down the stretch and roll 3 pairs to keep everybody fresh for the gauntlet we face in the playoffs.

We're going to bring back a fan favorite! You know him, you love him...

He gets a lot of underserved hate but unlike Toronto boy Ritchie, we did not hear a peep from Marincin.

He plays well on the PK and if he were still in the organization, I wouldn't mind seeing him play that sort of sheltered role alongside Holl or Liljegren.

 

[Duffman955]

Sandin looks stronger this year and more physically involved

Unfortunate injury timing

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I hope he has a swift recovery

 

[Beaumaris]

They beat the US and Sweden at the Olympics and won a Bronze Medal. He also scored a goal which equaled his career high in the NHL.

You don’t “win“ Bronze,losers medal.

 

[2 Slick]

I hope he has a speedy recovery, the less Holl, the better.

 

[tmlms13]

You don’t “win“ Bronze,losers medal.

Technically you do win Bronze.

 

[Beaumaris]

Technically you do win Bronze.

Technically you are so wrong.
You earn a silver and bronze.There’s always,only one winner.

Silver is the only loser medal.

You have to win the game to get a Gold or a Bronze medal.

If you want to use "earn" as your main verb so be it..... it really isn't the proper use in the context you trying to say.

You earned Gold by winning the Gold Medal Game
You earned Silver by losing the Gold Medal Game
You earned Bronze by winning the Bronze Medal Game
You earned 4th Place by losing the Bronze Medal Game
