Zibanejad injury.

[TheGortonConspiracy]

You misspelled Chytil. It's spelled Howden.

Exactly, when Zibanejad was in COVID protocol during training camp, it was Howden who played with Buch and Kreids every scrimmage.

It's been a while since we've had a groin concussion.

With Lemmy we know it’s that sequence where he blocked two slappers (like a champ). That’s the lower body part. I really hope Mika had a stinger or whatever they call it when you whack your arm/shoulder really hard but there’s no structural damage.

You could see Mika holding his arm when the game was over. Could be a stinger. I was afraid it might be a shoulder separation. Either way, he was hurt enough not to be on the ice at the end of the game.

Obviously a acromioclavicular concussion.

Good to hear he won’t miss any time, he thinks

Do we know if Mika is playing tomorrow?

Do we know if Mika is playing tomorrow?

“lower body for Lemieux and upper and lower for Mika, but both were maintenance days and they’ll be ready to go for Friday.” per Quinn

I dont know if things changed today

Sounds like he practiced today. So he should play.

I think having the extra day off was beneficial. Not that the injury was serious thank god but it was probably good to have a extra day of rest

I would love to find out it was a shoulder and not anything higher-up.

If it was a head injury, he wouldn't be practicing.

 

[Peltz]

I think he looked a bit slow last night. I don't think he's playing at 100% right now.

 

[LokiDog]

Mika doesn’t look 100% and we know that, as of ~5 days ago he was dealing with upper and lower body issues, not significant enough to keep him out of the lineup. At least that gives you hope that his play is related to not being 100% healthy and that he could turn it on soon. Covid issues prior to the season probably didn’t help with conditioning and timing either.

Am I the only one who thinks Zibanejad hasn't been totally bad this season?

Slow start, sure. But with no camp, being late due to quarantine and then getting COVID on top of that basically removed 2 weeks of conditioning.

He looks out of sync but I don't see it as a lack of effort or play. He will get bounces his way soon and he will start to get a bit quicker.

Now, Strome on the other hand... HE has been bad.

 

[Ruggs225]

I just dont get how he is flubbing so many one timers this year. That is his bread and butter.

its like he needs contacts or something lol

He just doesn't have his speed yet imo...took a while last year too.
