Injury Report: The Injury Thread || Tavares on IR

[ACC1224]

What?

What part are you confused on? 'Day to Day' or 'Week to Week'?

 

[trellaine201]

Big shoes to fill. He has showed up and played well in almost every game. Unlike his counterparts. Big loss.

 

[BigBlu]

Meh.

Now the pp might start working.. This also increases three chances of getting another centre at the deadline which we need

Not to mention, we just saved MILLIONS of dollars on what would have been an ill-conceived contract extension.

 

[yubbers]

Hopefully it does, but suggesting Tavares has been the main issue seems like a reach

He's been pretty bad on the PP lately. Definitely not the only problem

But it needs a new look. This forces the hand

 

[BallardEra]

Definitely a groin injury for sure.

 

[Stephen]

Tavares on his own is meh, whatever on a lot of nights, but it's interesting the team didn't step up in his absence vs New Jersey, while they're usually all hands on deck whenever some of the other starts are out.

Not sure what it says about the psychology of how they feel about JT, or what it says about the guys on the roster who can't find any motivation to do anything these days.

 

[LeafsNet]

Oh no….how long?

Anthony Stolarz’s recovery from knee surgery is progressing, with NHL insider Darren Dreger providing an encouraging update on the Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender while reporting on Friday.

Stolarz, who last played on Dec. 12 against his former team, the Anaheim Ducks, underwent a procedure to remove a loose body from his knee and has been sidelined for more than a month.

Appearing on TSN Toronto 1050's "First Up" on Friday, Dreger provided an update on Stolarlz's possible timeline for a return, which might not happen until February at the earliest depending on how his recovery progresses.

“The message I was given was that everyone was hopeful he’d be playing in a game at some point in late January, but they wouldn’t be concerned if it wasn’t early February,” Dreger said.

The Leafs are taking a cautious approach to ensure Stolarz is fully healthy before his return, according to Dreger, as they wouldn't like their starter to suffer any setback or re-injure his knee.

“Just testing the leg and seeing how it feels, and slowly working your way back," Dreger said on Monday. "As soon as he can get into practice rotation, then that tells you he is real close to making a return.”

Leafs head coach Craig Berube added context over last weekend, confirming Stolarz had resumed skating and could join team practices soon without committing to a timeline.

We need Stolie back so bad. Not that Woll is terrible, but he has bouts during games where he seems to lose the puck and at times let out some terrible rebounds. He's also shown a habit in the last few games where he allows one relatively soft goal. I mentioned earlier in the season that Stolarz wasn't letting in the softies that plagued Leafs goaltending in the past.

Oh no….how long?

It's the Leafs, could be anywhere between a week and career ending

We need Jarnkrok for the playoffs. His stat line of 0G 0A 7GP last year against Boston is what we need to get over the hump. Give me a break.

 

[sunstersun]

He wasn't that good outside of a streak of games.

The dead hands have returned.

The whole team struggled to score.

I know I'd much rather have Jarnkrok in the line-up than Holmberg.

 

[Tarmore]

In general yes.

Yet last night Holmberg was good. If Holmberg can perform like that nightly then we can revise that thinking.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

I'm not sure TOR can go deep with Jarn or Holm if I have to be honest.

 

[The Shadow]

I'm not sure TOR can go deep with Jarn or Holm if I have to be honest.

Jarn was useless in the playoffs last year and I expect the same this year

 

[Tarmore]

I'm not sure TOR can go deep with Jarn or Holm if I have to be honest.

Well if they are pinning their playoff success on 3-4th liners they already in trouble.

I think their success is more likely to be determined by the best players and goalie. No?

I think Woll taking the entire day off is part of a scheduled full day rest.

No. To be the best you have to find a way from everyone and everywhere. Yeah if your goalie is bad and you're top guys are being shut down, you're in trouble. Conversely, if your goalie is struggling and your top line is being shut down, you need your depth to chip in.

Very unfortunate with regards to JT, he was having a solid season. The way it sounds, we might not see him until after the Four Nations break.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Definitely a long time for just a "pebble". Damn.

 

[Maple Leaf]

send this guy to eternal IR until game 1 and acquire a real center
