2014/15 Leafs Injuries Thread

time for Joffrey to call it a career and go play guitar for the replacements or death cab for cutie or someone

I think you're confusing him with Lundquist.    If Lupul played guitar he would probably tear his rotator cuff.

Wonder how many rotator cuff surgeries Pete Townshend has had.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

This guy is unreal.

Anyway, better rest up for the deadline, even though he's probably not going anywhere.

Did I read that Franson is injured too? That's 2 of the more talented roster players out then.

Tank it up!

Has anyone else heard a wild rumour about Phanuef and Lupul and an off-ice fight ? I'm not putting any stock into it but it is a crazy one !!

You're right not to put any stock into it. There's always rumours about teammates on struggling teams getting into fights. There's rarely much truth to those rumours.

 

[Highlander]

I hope Lupul landed one!

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Maybe fighting over who gets to see the doctor first.

A bit more information on Lupul's situation right now:

When a slim glimmer of hope remained that the Toronto Maple Leafs could get back into contention late last month, Joffrey Lupul decided he couldn't wait any longer to return from injury. He considered it "do-or-die time" and rushed back.

The result was just two points in six ineffective games before the organizational decision was made to rest Lupul. He has missed three more games since as the struggling Leafs understandably take a wait-and-see-and-wait-some-more approach to his nagging lower-body injury.

"It was just obviously the situation differs when it's kind of that desperation playoff time," Lupul said Wednesday. "When the losses started to pile up a little bit and it became obvious we weren't going to the playoffs, we decided with the training staff and the coaches it was best just to shut it down for a couple weeks and try and get it closer to 100 per cent, not go out there and put myself at risk or take ice time from someone who's working hard to go out there and play."

Could have probably worked this into the Tank thread as well

Can he reach 100% before March 2?  Lupul seems like a better trade-deadline trade than an off-season trade, because maaaaybe he can stay healthy for one post-season, but a full regular + post-season? Forget it!

i would be happy with a second.

 

[Chris]

Might be better at this point to hold onto Lupul until the summer or even next season. Who is going to want to grab a player who, in addition to being frequently injured, is currently injured, for this years playoff run?

Exactly right.... but if Lupul can convince people he's back to 100% before the deadline.... would someone gamble?

I'm thinking the ONLY time we might be able to trade Lupul would be at a trade deadline... if not this year's, then another year's.  Take on Lupul in the off-season and you just know he's getting hurt at some point.

Considering the years left on his deal anyone trading for him would have to be pretty comfortable paying him for a whole season so I don't think it would make much of a difference.

With Lupul's experience in the league on various teams and their different dynamics I wish that Lupul was captain next year and Phaneuf was traded.  I thought Lupul comments to Seigel were on the ball as he lived through it.

lupul just said the other day that he won't be back to 100% the rest of this season.  They should just have him go home and show up again next year.

He needs to be medically clear prior to the 2nd of Mar. He will be one of the many to be moved.

 

[Highlander]

I like Lupul, think he is an excellent player, to bad he is made of glass, to bad there is a rebuild on and he has to be moved from a pick of prospect of some sort

Even with his injuries he's still played over 600 games in the league and has done a pretty good job scoring in the playoffs, so I think he still has a lot to offer.  The way the injuries are stacking up, I'm hopeful that a playoff team will pick him up in an attempt to make a deep run.

I did not get to watch the whole game, did Robidas return?

 

[Bullfrog]

He did.
