2016-2017 Injury Thread

Those are some tough injuries for some pretty good players. Anyone know if when Stamkos broke his leg was it the right one or the left?

Right one. But two very different injuries... doubt one had anything to do with the other or will compound damage. But like brad goodman, I only have a phd in pain.

That wasn't so much what I was getting at. I'm no doctor either but in my very brief athletic career I suffered a number of shoulder injuries and while most of them weren't related they had a cumulative effect of a general sort of messed-upness of my shoulder.

That's what I mean about how I doubt the two injuries will compound damage. The first major leg injury when he crashed into the post wasn't even in his knee joint.

With this being the third batch of bad luck, I think the bigger concern is if he's developing lupulitis.

I guess then it seems strange to doubt that if you're not Stamkos or his Doctor. I'm saying both injuries have the sort of general capacity to affect the leg and that there's then those sorts of things can accumulate.

Like, if you break two fingers on the same hand the injuries aren't necessarily related but even fully recovered they can both lead to lingering problems that affect the general well being of the hand.

Geez he's had a string of bad injuries the last few years.

All in his peak years too. Really derailed the career of arguably one the top goal scorers of the past 20 or so years.
 
Couple of significant ones. Erik Johnson out 6-8 weeks with a broken leg and on the gosh that's a shame front Alex Galchenyuk is out "indefinitely" but without details as to what's wrong.
 
Love how his own teammate knocks him in the head with his skate. ::) I've never been in that situation, but I don't quite understand how the reaction is "beat on opponent" and not "check on teammate."

Gally and Double D are both done for 6-8 weeks with knee injuries.

Whenever I see that situation, it annoys me to no end.  The guys injured, and you've decided to start a scrum right over top of him... WTF are you thinking?

I also want to give a thumbs up to the goalie and Granlund for trying to protect him.
