Injury Report: The Injury Thread || Stolarz out 4-6 weeks

[SprDaVE]

What is a pebble in a knee?

He described it the procedure was to remove a "loose body". So probably some form of blood clot? No idea though.

 

[DarkKnight]

What's Murray's status, is he set to return?

What's Murray's status, is he set to return?

He backed up AA this weekend.

 

[The Shadow]

Woll gets his time to shine

Cursed franchise

Better now than in the playoffs. This may be a blessing

 

[cyris]

What's Murray's status, is he set to return?

He came in after AA was pulled Saturday so I guess he is healthy

 

[Leafidelity]

If ever there was a time for an injury, its right before the Christmas and Tournament break

 

[Gary Nylund]

We have depth at the position. We’ll be fine.

Get well, Tony.

This.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Christ’s sake. Get well soon Stolie.

Most likelu burisities. Like a ball of fluid that takes place during intense trauma . Usually behind the knee. Like shifting the knee really fast or striking something hard

You usually have hard time bending the knee.

Half the team will probably be on IR come playoff time.

 

[The Iceman]

THis is EXACTLY why we resigned Matt Murray....best 3rd goalie in the NHL

 

[GoonieFace]

Better now than later, hopefully it’s a one and done injury

Hildeby will get the back-up spot. Murray probably will get more starts with the Marlies though.

My God, we just get a decent goalie that we knew was injury prone and here he is having yet another procedure on one of his knees.
At lest our other injury prone goalies has managed to stay healthier for a few weeks or so.
When you have to pick from the scrap heap for goalies this is what you get, injury prone long shots.
Please tell me again how spending over 50% of your cap on 4 similar forwards does not effect your ability fill out the rest of the team with quality players, especially critical areas like goaltending

Has Stolartz ever actually been injury prone?

[Byron Bitz]

I don’t even believe that timeline, six weeks from now he’ll be boarding a plane to Germany to see Matthew’s witch doctor.

 

[GoonieFace]

A pebble is much better than a Bam Bam

 

[Cams]

Thinking bone spur, or loose cartilage - the recently showed his knee injury history, was more than expected.

Mind you I am no doctor, so I will leave it up to the HF doctors to squabble over.....

Among goalies with a minimum of 10 games played this year, we have two goalies in the top 5 in save % (1&5) and GAA (2&3).

Please tell me more about how Stolarz and Woll are from the "scrap heap".

They're not perfect given neither has played as a starter for a full year, but they've been the best duo in the league so far this year so i don't see how it makes sense to complain about them yet while one of them is still currently healthy and we have 2 or 3 serviceable backup options in Hildeby, Murray, and maybe even Akhtyamov.

There's no goalie readily available through trade or whom we couldve signed last year that I would replace either Woll or Stolarz with right now.

 

[Al14]

How quickly did a day-to-day injury become 4-6 weeks?

Does the medical staff know what they're doing?

It's the best goal tending we've had in decades and this happens to Stolarz!!!

FFS, our Leafs are surely CURSED!!!

LOOSE BODY REMOVAL

A minimally invasive procedure, surgeons perform loose body removal to remove fragments of bone, cartilage, or other loose tissue from the knee joint. Loose bodies can cause a patient a great deal of pain and discomfort with movement and even at rest. Often, loose bodies form from previous injuries to the knee joint or degenerative arthritis of the knee over time. Loose bodies may also derive from scar tissue following previous surgeries of the knee. Surgeons may also perform loose body removal during joint arthroscopy to treat many knee conditions including torn meniscus, osteochrondritis dissecans, or recurrent patella dislocation.

SYMPTOMS OF LOOSE BODIES IN THE KNEE

Individuals who participate in recreational activities or work in physically rigorous jobs put themselves at risk for developing loose bodies in the knee. Patients suffering from loose bodies may not have the ability to fully flex or extend the leg without pain. All patients process pain differently so symptoms may vary. Many patients suffering from loose bodies within the knee joint often report symptoms of:

• Knee pain

• Knee swelling

• Pain with movement

• Catching or locking of the knee

So much for day to day.

Really too bad. Probably been our best player this year, but hopefully he comes back feeling good. We’ve got time and solid goaltending still.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

We have better, younger goaltenders.

in talent probably, but what jones actually did that season especially when samsonov and murray went down will be hard to replicate

AA is very raw and isn't used to north american ice, we should not bring him up this season
Hildeby hasn't been that great, he's young but as of now isn't nhl ready. He let debatebly 3 very saveable shots in last game and was pretty bad against columbus too
Murray is too injury prone to rely on

He was just average. Not sure what's hard to replicate for what he did. And he was bad with the Marlies. He was fine as a 3rd stringer and for his skill level he did well all things considered, sure.

He now remains unsigned this season.
