The Saint Mikael Granlund hypetrain part 2 (saucer passes turning to wine!)

[Leehh]

He's knee twisted when he was falling, might not need surgery.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Hard to say from that angle, hope it's nothing serious.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

not surprising. If this guy has one weakness it's being fragile.

 

[tony d]

Really looking forward to seeing how this guy does in the NHL. Think he's going to be a superstar within the first 3-5 years of his career.

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

An update from Russo today saying that it's just a muscle strain and Granlund will thankfully only miss a week or two. Brodin's injury on the other hand is a broken clavicle and he'll be missing at least a couple months. Read more about it here:

Uh what? Granny was actually pretty tough in the Finnish leagues. The only injury was I believe a concussion.

While I think it's too early to say yada or nada on whether he's fragile or not, surviving on FEL doesn't guarantee much towards surviving in NHL.

He had some neck injury year ago, too but nothing big. He could hold he's own physically on FEL, and was pretty good on that department for the first half of he's last season. I don't think he's made of glass but, it's very early to tell.

edit. good thing it wasn't anything serious

freak accident.

The blog TheThirdIntermission (Houston Aero's Blog) talked with Aeros GM Mill yesterday and got various injury updates. Granlund is practicing fully and its up to him when he is ready to play. Sounds like it will either be tonight or tomorrow against OKC.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Against OKC, eh?

Back to where it started. Let's hope for a hat trick.

 

[ThatGuy22]

Didn't play tonight, hopefully tomorrow.

 

[Fel 96]

 

[InjuredChoker]

How did he do the first game(s) back?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Better each game.

 

[Fel 96]

I believe he got his first point since the injury today.

 

[PensBandwagonerNo272*]

Pretty sick video there

He isn't very big, is he still predicted to play centre in the bigs?

Yes. C fits him much better.

 

[LordFletcher]

I sure hope no one watches this and think it's THAT hard to do. Anyone can learn to have hands like those within a weekends time

 

[Leaf Rocket]

damn what a beauty

 

[Vikingstad]

I have no doubt Granlund has great hands, but that vid didnt do him any justice. Nothing in there made me go "wow".

Yeah, pretty much what anyone does just dinking around with pucks but its still cool seeing a vid like that and especially getting a players perspective. I would love to see more GoPro usage on players in practice, gives an interesting perspective from a pro player. Also makes me nostalgic from doing the same stuff in my basement lol.

What about this one?

 

[Loffer]

Anybody watched Aeros games since he returned after the injury? Only one assist in five games now. Pretty much lost his scoring touch... Is he rusty or what's the problem? Hopefully he will bounce back soon.

 

[P10p]

Beauty Goal last night. Best player on the ice last night against OKC, hustled hard.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

He looked ok last night. Obviously has incredible poise and vision, but you could tell he's still recovering. Scored off of a nice pass from behind the net and had a flukey shootout goal.
