[Jonas Siegel] Joseph Woll ratera son 25e match consécutif ce soir en raison d’une entorse à la cheville – et il faudra peut-être encore quelques semaines avant de revenir. Sheldon Keefe : « À ce stade, il n’est pas près de nous pour le considérer comme un joueur d’action. »

Sammys gotta hold the fort and i feel well enough about it but…this aint good. I was hoping he’d be back by next week but it doesn’t look like that’ll be the case
🙁
was this a case where he should have just done the surgery at the start? How does a sprain keep you out for months?…
Should honestly just expect him out til end of season
Given the range of mobility that Goalies need to have this is not surprising.
Better to keep him out until fully healed than to risk permanent damages.
He’ll come back in April and light it up in May as the best goalie in the NHL!
This is not unexpected. This type of injury makes you lose nearly all power in your foot, so you need to work on it a lot as a goalie. He probably can’t push off the net with enough force for a while.
HAS are nicknamed « goalie killers » because they’re so hard to come back from…hope that’s not the case for Brick
This is going to be an agonizing back half of the season, isn’t it?
Such a strange injury. I’ve done my ankle half a dozen times and used to play goaltender at a fairly high level, but I’ve never seen one that looked like this before. I can’t even really understand how it could have happened as his feet/ankles seemed fairly still as the shot came in and he was in the butterfly. Maybe it was something that happened off camera before the shot?
Man that sucks
Well hopefully Sammy and Jones are able to manage
Honestly I’m glad Jones still gets more time in the NHL yeah he cooled off a bit but he’s really done a lot for us and I hope he gets a good run of games
And now that Sammy has found his game I hope Jones doesn’t just get tossed back to the marlies
A bit surprised by this – Keefe sounded positive when talking about Woll yesterday, and implied that he had put in so much good work over the break that they decided to keep him off the ice over the weekend; wonder if he had a setback that they are trying to keep under wraps.
Oh, Martin Jones, the pipes, the pipes are calling
High ankle amputation
Nice to have the goalie depth we do this season
Get rid
Physio here.
High ankle sprains are no joke. The recovery time is quite variable but in my experience it’s an absolute minimum of 2-month recovery in normal populations. Average of 3-4 months to return to sport, but depending on the severity it can be up to 6 months. That being said, that’s for your average Joe, not a ~25 year old elite athlete. The fact that it’s been 2 months and he appears to be nowhere close (has he even skated yet?) is honestly not a great sign. He likely has one of 3 things happening: 1) the tear to his syndysmosis is very severe – greater than 50% of fibers, which is actually best case scenario at the moment (likely another 4-6 weeks), 2) the syndysmosis was fully ruptured (return will be measured in months, not weeks), or 3) there was some sort of additional sprain or even avulsion fracture that the team has not announced publicly (can’t even tell you how long it will be).
Long story short, this is a bad one, and with something like this, he absolutely cannot be rushed.
Is there a possibility to put him on LTIR and use the added space to sign a temporary replacement? His cap hit isn’t huge, but every dollar helps thanks to corner management painted themselves into with 5 players taking nearly 60% of the cap.
Well considering they will have to waive Jones or Samsonov they probably want to be relatively comfortable with one of them as the go forward option. Especially since whoever they choose may need to be the starter. It might take some time for Woll to rediscover his form.
At this point I’ll hope for a return in the last few games to see if he’s ready for the playoffs but let’s not break him
IIRC wasnt he not expected to return until late feb?
I would expect another 6 weeks until his next start.
