Nino Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Kesler talked at great length about how he's worked on the mental side of his game over the summer. He's focused on not playing with as much emotion and avoiding the types of situations he has put himself in in the past where he got injured. In an earlier post you suggested we take a look at the past to try and explain Kes' future behavior. This makes sense to me to, but the results are entirely opposite of what you suggest. Kesler rarely misses games if you look at his total NHL career: Kesler has had nine full pro seasons (1 AHL, 8 NHL). Year 1: Missed 4 games Year 2: Full season Year 3: Missed 34 games Year 4: Missed 2 games Year 5: Full season Year 6: Full season Year 7: Full season Year 8: Missed five games Year 9: Missed 31 games So, in total, Kes has missed an average of 8 regular season games per year. If you exclude last year, he averaged 5 missed regular season games. Injuries that have derailed an entire season appear to be the exception, not the rule for Kesler.

Nino Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'm just presenting evidence that he his past isn't as injury prone as people argue, given that he's played a number of full seasons as a pro. Not sure what you're trying to do, other than make claims with, not only no evidence to support it, but in fact made in the presence of evidence that suggests that opposite. If it were me, I'd feel pretty sheepish to say someone has been plagued by injury in the past and then have actual evidence indicating the exact opposite.

-DLC- Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 He is so totally committed to this thing...really pulling for him to have a great year. Had a moment at camp where he took a hit a little awkwardly...I winced in seeing him do so. He is so invaluable to this team and when he's off, it has a trickle down effect. A true professional athlete in every sense of the word. He's up there in my top 3. He is not "injury prone"....he plays a really hard, physical style that involves risk of injury as a result. He's fully engaged in the trenches and not on the perimeter. Happens. Injury prone is picking up a cracker stuff.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SergioMomesso Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 With Keslers robust style. He will no doubt be injured or play hurt throughout the year. He has to be more aware out there and pick his spots better. Like trying not to run guys over that have 30 lbs on him. (Douglas Murrey) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Give it up, Nino. DBTR's stats back it up. Year 1: Missed 4 games Year 2: Full season Year 3: Missed 34 games Year 4: Missed 2 games Year 5: Full season Year 6: Full season Year 7: Full season Year 8: Missed five games Year 9: Missed 31 games What part don't you get?

elvis15 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Isn't he also well known for playing through injuries? If so, how many actual games he plays is not going to be well correlated with his injury rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
