Frankie Sinatra Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Darn, that thumb injury is going to screw up his summer weight training. If anyone thinks it's no big deal break your thumb and then try weightlifting a few weeks later. It won't go over too well. At least it wasn't any worse, he should be ready for camp, hopefully he can work around the injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Hope Elias still feels very positive about his WC experience? I think he showed great! Even more, showcased sparkling, actually very composed potential to be much bigger. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping it’s not so bad that it isn’t healed well enough in three weeks, so he can do hard training. I wonder if, considering how long and difficult his season was, it’s best he takes a few weeks off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if, considering how long and difficult his season was, it’s best he takes a few weeks off? I think he definitely needs the rest for sure. Too bad it was due to injury, but the thumb will heal. I'm just worried about his weight training as he needs to add bulk and muscle in order to make the team next fall. Hopefully the injury isn't too bad, although the thumb is probably the worst finger to injure for a hockey player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Knucklehd Posted May 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2018 I disagree about adding bulk. Look what that did for Hutton and Virtanen. If anything, hopefully this injury forces him to focus his strength training on his lower body and core. He needs stronger lower body, balance and conditioning.

R.Dahlin26 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Looked like he jammed his thumb on the post on that breakaway. Unfortunate as he was starting to play like his dominate self these last 2-3 games. Woud've loved to see him against Canada/USA/Finland. Overall this experience was great for EP and his development. Now get healed and have a big summer of getting stronger and make the team out of training camp. Excited to see him in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So actually there could be a chance he might return to sweden. Eliteprospects have him returning next year but dont know much like everybody else. he's fully finished his season so I guess we'll know soon. Not saying he isn't NHL ready as he's looked good in the worlds but who knows, if he feels that he's not ready he could return for another season. Obviously his coach and gm at Vaxjo have been milking the "he needs to gain weight/strength" line but just pointing it out there that there's still a good chance he returns for another season. Hopefully he does make the jump. I think he's reached the point where there's really not much to accomplish at Sweden. He's broke every single records and has a SHL ring. I might just be rambling about nonsense. Edited May 13, 2018 by Odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will modify his program a bit. You can use straps and exercises like rack pulls to overcome alot.kid did perform well though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorvatToBaertschi Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Did anybody else notice that the goalie tripped the **** out of him on that breakaway, and that he would have scored had the goalies’ pokecheck not demolished him. Resulting in a thimb injury... what a broken play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
