Is Kessel Hurt?

[Fanatic]

Did Kessel get hurt last night - his knee?

Gloom, despair and agony on me: Reimer not practicing for Maple Leafs and Kessel left early.

Well as a long time Leaf fan I expect so......

Great.  :

 

[Erndog]

Yes, he did.  They showed him 'limping' off.  He wasn't putting much pressure on it... however he did return.  I did notice he didn't have much jump in his step after that.

Hopefully this is just precautionary.  :-\

He came back after the hit and was still skating well (though, not quite as well as usual), so, my guess is it's more of a soreness/discomfort thing than an injury situation.

The above saves me some typing.

Is this the start of his regression?

Although given the Leafs' recent success at describing their players' injuries I think it's safe to say Kessel will be out 2-3 months at a minimum.

Joey Crabb to the rescue

I think I'd rather see Kadri replace Kessel in the short term (if a replacement is necessary.)

The Monster does hold a medical degree, BTW.  Wilson was misinformed on that.

I have a hunch that he won't miss time off.

dshoalts: Kessel excused early from Leaf practice because he's "banged up" from hitting boards in Ranger game. Coach Wilson says he'll play vs. Pens.

Rats.  Just when the thread was taking off, too.

HE WILL BE OUT UNTIL CHRISTMAS. Better pack it in, boys.
