Injury Report: Man-Games Lost - 2013 Official Injury Thread (The Colaiacovo Report)

[PocketNines]

Pretty much if nobody gets hurt tomorrow in Vancouver and Oshie comes back next game, they have to send Porter, Elliott or Allen down.

If Cole is not going to be able to crack the lineup, why not send him down to play top pairing in Peoria for a few games until rosters expand? He's still waiver exempt, right?

 

[frostyflo]

Any word on Petro? Is he ready to go for tonight?

that would solve our problem pretty easy but I still would rather want to see Redden waived (won't be taken anyway) and Cole staying. I don't think he is "not able" to crack the line-up

 

[Alklha]

Oshie back on IR.

 

[PocketNines]

Oshie back on IR.

Allen and Cracknell recalled. Don't thnk those guys are seeing Peoria again this year.

 

[Tryblot]

Wait, what happened to Oshie?

 

[Captain Creampuff]

Wait, what happened to Oshie?

Halak+Oshie for Miller+Pominville e74

But seriously, he took a puck during practice. I believe where his last injury was, right in the midsection.

Oshie's injury

Will he be out for a long time?

 

[EastonBlues22]

I believe that it's a bruise on his foot, so probably not.

 

[Blanick]

Its basically a bad bruise. He has been put on IR so that the Blues could bring up Cracknall. He will miss the Chicago game Thursday but he is eligible to be reactivated for the Columbus game Friday and I suspect he will be back by then.

 

[prabak11]

umm, does anyone know how long halak will be out for?

Reported to be 3 weeks.

 

[PocketNines]

3 weeks, but Halak has seemed to be a slower healer than reported lengths of time out. Since this is the same injury as earlier this year, I would not be surprised if he's done for the regular season (3.5 weeks) and not ready to start the playoffs.

Agreed, he's probably done.

Strickland says no guarantee he returns this season.

Frankly I don't even care. I'm so done with this guy. Just time for Allen to get more experience.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Time for Allen to channel his inner Cam Ward.

Comment in JR's Morning Skate:

Some rumblings are that Halak didn’t re-aggravate the injury that caused him to miss eight games earlier this season, but rather it’s a new injury in the groin.

Fantasy Q - has Halak been placed on the IR?

Not yet, they only recalled Allen under emergency conditions, but it's a safe assumption that he'll be placed on IR soon.

 

[kurt]

Any updates on Halak's status or estimated return? Is it confirmed he'll miss the rest of the season?

 

[bleedblue1223]

Last I heard was 3ish weeks.

No idea. There was a report that said 3 weeks, but Hitch has just said "don't know" any time he has been asked. He hasn't been placed on IR, but with expanded rosters who knows if we should read into that.

Hitch did say that if you go on IR now then you are "week-to-week" when asked about Oshie's return.

 

[Captain Creampuff]

I don't see Hitch as that big of a fan of Halak for some reason. I feel like after last year Hitch looks at Halak like he's weak.

 

[BlueDream]

He wouldn't be the only one.

 

[Captain Creampuff]

It's like Halak really only plays when management tells Hitch he has to play Jaro. I mean when's the last time Jaro has played 3 consecutive games and won all of them?

@ the 9 min mark John Kelly reports on Halak's injury. http://101sports.com/templates/audio_player.php?type=s&a=13984

I think Halak has been coming back too soon from his injuries this season. I wouldn't mind seeing him sit an extra week or so to make he is completely healed. It's starting to annoy me, if he would have just kept himself out of the lineup before, we wouldn't be dealing with this crap during our playoff push.
