Injury Report: 2023 - 2024 Injury Thread HF's New longest ever thread

[nammerus]

Toews out too? Somehow not surprised considering how violent that collision was

Also means this incompetent organization let him play a couple games with a bad concussion.

 

[MildAvaholic]

This aged well....

Landeskog be like :

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

Damn, he looks good. Now, he's not skating much here, but dropping to the knee to take shots repeatedly seems positive.

 

[dahrougem2]

He doesn't look anywhere close to ready to me. Doesn't look like a lot of weight transfer on those shots.

We'll see you in September, Landy.

 

[Forceberg]

We'll see you in APRIL 2025 , Landy.

Fixed it for you.

Lonzo Ball provides injury update on the premiere episode of his new podcast

The other guy who had Landy’s surgery is on track for next season. It’s about what we’d expect from Landy next year. He’s at 70% and believes he could play but definitely not 100%

 

[the_fan]

See you next season Landy!!!!

Maybe that’s when we win the cup when we have the captain back

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Meh, I think Landy would play if they would clear him, even if he knew it would be a losing affair. I think he'd prefer to finish the season with the boys on the ice and to be honest, he'd probably like to do it to give the fans a glimmer of hope heading into the summer as well.

No he doesn't.

Well, at least not in a "he's coming back soon" context.

He doesn't look anywhere close to ready to me.

Yep.

 

[the_fan]

Avs will be out of the playoffs tomorrow. We definitely not gonna see Landy this year

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

No he doesn't.

Compared to 5 videos of him skating backwards only he looks like a champ.

 

[CharlesPuck]

May as well dress Landy tomorrow and go with 11 forwards and use him on the PP

 

[Drury_Sakic]

The whole optics of Landy doing these things now is only a good thing. Selling the boys on SOME hope that he can be there in the finals... That roughly 3ish weeks from now. Its possible.

Avs need something to grasp on to right now, even if its the thinnest of threads.

 

[katfude]

This is bullshit i was told these videos was Landy sandbagging it and he would come back like a vengeful god because we were playing LTIR cap games like the Golden Dicks

I wish I could believe that they didn't lie about Toews being sick instead of having a concussion, but the sad fact is they've been caught lying about injuries multiple times now, including saying someone is sick when they're not, and they've also allowed multiple players to come back in games after a big hit to the head, said they were fine afterwards, and had it turn out to be a concussion afterwards.

This team is on the verge of becoming the Philly of this generation with concussions, because they don't seem to take them very serously.

I can't excuse them for lying, but as far as allowing someone to come back in a game, that's on the concussion protocols. Symptoms can often take hours to show up.

 

[Drury_Sakic]

The guys are being pulled on hits by league spotters, not team doctors.

If you want to cast blame on the leagues policy, do so, but this is not the Avs doctors sending guys back out there.

The spotters may pull them, but it's the Team Docs that are allowing them to re-enter the game.

Players are pulled by spotters, the evaluation is done by the team's training staff. The spotters have no role in allowing the player back. It absolutely would be the Avs' docs sending them back out there. Given how the Avs treated the last doc, the docs have a vested interest in doing what the team wants.

Yeah, how long was Byram gone after he was allowed to come back that one game?

On top of that, what grinds my gears so much is that in a league that only punishes results and not intent, why the hell aren't they gaming that to get guys like Benn suspended for headshots? Especially in the playoffs?

To be clear though, didn't the last team doc quit because of what they asked him to do. I thought it was his decision the whole way to leave, which I vaguely remembering respecting at the time.

It was a pretty clean hit by Benn on Toews. If that bloke would have been Sammy's size then it would be headshot.
