Has anyone been able to find a video of the injury? I haven’t seen it anywhere on twitter
Top 6:
Nino – Granlund – Duchene
Tomasino – Glass – Pars
I would assume he is going on LTIR.
I wonder how similar this is to the compartment syndrome incident back in 2017 before the Final. Hate to see any injury, but I remember that being particularly scary at the time.
Edit: just saw that he left the arena in a boot so likely nothing like 2017 lmao
So now they call up McCarron and…? What do y’all think?
I’d bet it’s almost 100% a torn Achilles.
I was watching on mute and saw him go down the tunnel. Looked to be in a TON of pain. I went back to watch the injury and there’s a point where he turns around and looks towards his heel like « what happened? » and then immediately skated towards the bench to come off without putting weight on the skate. Threw his gloves off to get off the ice. Needed support from 2 people to get off the ice and he was holding on to the benches for support as he was trying to walk.
Announcers called it a broken skate but it was a non-contact injury.
Screams sellers to me
I hate to say it, but this injury might just save us from being buyers at the deadline. Or… Poile could think we are just a 2c away from making a playoff push now.
Sucks. I saw him go down just couldn’t tell what fully happened.
He had an injury to his quad area during the Anaheim series in 2017, which was a pretty bad injury. Now this. Just unfortunate.
You gotta feel for Joey. Dude had a freak injury in 17. Took a while to get back to full speed. Now another leg/knee/foot injury. Fucking sucks man.
