Virtanen may not be on the scoresheet much. But he's in the mix of it all. Gaudette will get his time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much hope Myers comes back next game and be as great as he’s been so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he had to go under the mandated concussion protocol or he separated his shoulder. Both of which, I think he would be ok enough to play in 2 days time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Teams are being even more cautious than before about injuries, it used to be an upper or lower body injury but now they're just fit or not to play. Looking at Myers I thought he was more clutching his head, worried about concussion protocol which, to be fair, might not be too bad if he didn't really have one. A shoulder injury would be hard to come back from so quickly. Let's hope he's only out a game or so because there's a big trickle down effect without his hard 20 minutes - Tanev and Edler are going to get leaned on hard and they'll start making more mistakes (ala 2011 playoffs) when they're over-worked. This is where we need Benn to slot in and play 20 minutes out of nowhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the players union demanded the "unit to play" designation as part of negotiations for resuming the season. The team/league is only allowed to say they are "unfit to play". The player has control to decide to release more information if they want but they get back some privacy this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 It looked like his shoulder. Left side was down by looks and he wasn't moving it at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 The true test will be whether he "left the bubble" to seek additional treatment or not. If he had to leave the bubble, he's basically done for the series with quarantine. Let's hope a little more information about where he is is released soon.

Which makes me think it was likely separated. I’ve heard players playing through that and even minor fractures. Let’s hope it’s more on the pain side of things rather than mobility like TT’s injury.

arsenalian Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Anymore word on Toffoli? Everyone is talking in the PGT as if he’s expected to come back this series, but I haven’t even heard if he’s skated yet, since being seen in a walking boot?

Teams can choose not to LTIR, and simply have players on IR. Avoiding some nuance, LTIR creates cap relief, IR does not. Depends on what teams want to do, or need to do. Low-cap teams wanted the extra cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
