The-Impersonator Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I knew it the moment I saw Smith fall on his leg. I had the same rotation of my foot because of a crash while skiing. The ankle and knee are pretty strong at that angle, so the force of the fall (and in this case, a body falling on him as well) ends up twisting the tibia like a green tree branch. The leg usually springs right back to shape but it makes a half-dozen fissures the length of the bone. I spent 3 months in a cast that stretched from my toes to my hip, another 2-3 months of limited activity with no cast to complete the healing. The upside is that the bone likely took all the force, so when Booth is back (and it won't be until next season), he'll be 100%. The injury takes you out for a long time but doesn't cause any long-term damage. Oh and you people trying to comment on his performance or religion sneeringly, you are scum. The jokes you're making are coldly sociopathic and you deserve to be treated like the subhuman dirt you are. You're not worth the air you breathe.

redhdlois Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Based on the flavour of the comments, I am not the only one that thinks this is no big loss. IMO he has never really fit this team and definitely has not brought to the team what we hoped or expected. I am a hockey fan and not a religious fan....I don't want to watch hockey and have to listen to him talk about religion....everytime they showed him on the bench he was day dreaming....he is an oddball IMO....I hope this injury is a blessing in disguise for the team....

bikeme Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Most of these comments are pretty terrible. Who gives a crap that he's religious and a hunter? If you listen to his interviews (you know, the ones where he says really mean things about wildlife, and zealously attempts to convert the viewing audience to his religion), he's obviously an good guy and a good teammate. He's been one of the few people on the team who's actually been working hard and hitting hard. Unfortunately, he hasn't gotten the results. Dunno if it means he deserves to be made fun of after a tough injury. But I guess it's the internet, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 You gotta wonder how much better he'd be without all the injuries... if he'd never had that groin injury to start the season, he'd be at the same pace as everyone else. Its damn tough to jump in partway through, after a long lockout, and suddenly regain your game form. Hope he's able to get healthy and stay healthy, it's no fault of his own that his time in Vancouver has been sub-par. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFrame14 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 team wont miss him, booth is a terrible player who is more concerned with huntin and jesus then hockey.. only thing hitty about him being injured is we may have been able to trade him,, tho i doubt he would get us much... def a buyout next year. at least we didnt give up much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neversummer Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 If Gillis does buy Booth and Ballard out ... is that a confession that he is a failure of a GM since they are both his own doing. Btw ... I have zero sympathy for players who are bought out. Does either Gomez or Redden need our pity, they are both collecting 2 salaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizeman Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I feel bad for David. He has taken a lot of heat in his tenure here and I hope one day he can get his career back on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry_Wilkins Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 That's what pisses me off. If you want to be religious that's fine by me but just keep it to yourself. It's almost like they're bragging when people bring up religion. I don't start every sentence with a self proclaimed pat on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THERETOOL Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 from what we saw on tv, done for the season for sure.. probably even 4-6 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kesler'sselke Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 It is not his fault he got injured, I mean if someone that weights 200 lbs that fell on your ankle and bend it in a awkward way you would probably be out long term as well.. just wish he gets well soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
