Injury Report: Vol. II (Updates in First Post) | Fleury, Bortuzzo + Määttä Being Tested for Mumps

[Jacob]

At this point I don't trust our medical staff enough to take their word for it. Show us the blood work.

 

[TorstenFrings]

Sinus infection, I guess? The tooth thing is unlikely, or the Penguins would have said something.

Seriously, based on what I heard about mumps is that it's painful as ****, so I would be pretty surprised of he really had it based on him showing up to practices. But I never had it, so who knows.

Sooooo, I am German, we get mandatory (free!!!) vaccinations at school for things and I never had anything worse than chicken pocks, but okay, I agree, if it is supposed to be seriously painful, I'd expect Crosby to be responsible enough about it.

Same as in Canada so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Yeah, outside of half of his face being 10x its normal size, he seemed fine in that video. It obviously wasn't his decision to sit, so whatever it is can't be bothering him too much.

According to the Mayo Clinic:

http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/mumps/basics/causes/con-20019914

The cause of mumps is the mumps virus, which spreads easily from person to person through infected saliva. If you're not immune, you can contract mumps by breathing in saliva droplets of an infected person who has just sneezed or coughed. You can also contract mumps from sharing utensils or cups with someone who has mumps.

Unless someone who had it was breathing in his face roughly a week or two ago, he shouldn't have it.

The point I was trying to make is that I would not know whether or how painful that specific sickness is.

 

[Fordy]

crosby doesn't have mumps. i'm pretty pissed that he's sitting out because people freaked out over some pics

I dunno...weren't there some other players who had false negatives?

 

[BobCole]

Somebody wakes me up when the Penguins organization diagnoses, reports on, and treats a single injury competently.

I'm actually more frustrated by this team's inability to administer injuries than I am about the plethora of injuries themselves to our star players over the last 5 years.

There was more to the Sid interview than was shown . His last words...."I am NOT an animal".

and then he ate Shelly Anderson

 

[td_ice]

and then he ate Shelly Anderson

I cannot verify that 100%....but I think that's true.

 

[flaneur]

damn... i read that crosby's cheek was swollen but didn't realize how swollen. what the **** does he have?

and now we know what he would look like if he was fat...

On December 2nd, the Penguins played the Devils at home. Adam Larsson played for the Devils in that game. He (Larsson) was diagnosed with mumps shortly after it. So, there´s that.

 

[KIRK]

and then he ate Shelly Anderson

I call bull**** on that.

DESPRES couldn't eat Shelly Anderson.

EDIT: At least not in one sitting.

 

[joeyjake5]

I have just gone through about the last 4 or 5 pages of this thread since I last looked at it. And I must say with 100% accuracy there is a lot of humor here.

Just hope there is no 1:00 news conference scheduled for Monday. If so then we will really get the bad news.

 

[Fordy]

crosby has at this point had multiple tests. unless you seriously think he's had multiple false negatives, he doesn't have mumps

What are the odds of him having "something which looks like the mumps but isn´t the mumps" DURING the outgoing mumps epidemy ?

When did Sid's neck lump appear in regards to that?

So help me god if this medical staff can't diagnose mumps and Sid has been going around infecting everyone.

Looks like the case to me..

 

[TheGoldenJet]

the Penguins decided to try and save face.

No pun intended.

 

[flaneur]

well he did have a broken neck during the concussion epidemic... so decently good odds?

if it is a sinus infection... isn't crosby allergic to antibiotics?

 

[Speaking Moistly]

It could be something else, but with this team... you always expect the worst and that something stupid may have happened.

Ultimately I just hope it isn't really serious, like it makes mumps look nice in comparison serious. But Crosby's allergy (?) to a lot of antibiotics can't be good. This season has had cancer and a pulmonary embolism; last season was a stroke and two players with blood clots.

Adams will of course be immune.

According to the date, 3rd December, so a day after.

Probably Penicillin, my dad has that problem too and can't take most antibiotics but I remember reading that somewhere.
