Agreed. We had bad injuries over the Celebrini era. 

I do believe we've taken care of the players after their careers are over, better with the new treatments. 

As far as injury prevention, I don't have stats (I would love to see them) but it certainly seems the injury bug hit us worse.

Whatever we were doing for strength and conditioning before, with less injuries, is way preferable.

Old ways/new ways, I don't care. Just reduce the injuries. We are in the NHL's worst in that regard.

 

 

I’m curious about the relationship between travel and injuries. We certainly are one of the teams with the most travel miles.

Another thing is ice conditions. With multi use facilities, is ice always playable in each arena? When is poor ice and injuries a issue for players.

yes, you with us with that poorly thought out conspiracy. 

That was the point. My attempt at some levity obviously missed the mark in your case. My tongue was firmly in cheek, trust me.

Full article on link below. A few quotes here.

 

"Widely known as one of the top sport and orthopedic physiotherapists in North America, the Burnaby native is heading south, as the Golden State Warriors announced him as their new director of sports medicine and performance.

 

Celebrini was hired as the Canucks’ director of rehabilitation four years ago by Trevor Linden. Despite “decades of experience in injury prevention,” Celebrini’s presence didn’t seem to help Canucks players stay away from the injured list. The Canucks regularly finished near the top of the league in man-games lost over the past three seasons, though clearly that could be purely coincidental.

 

The obvious connection to Golden State is player development consultant Steve Nash, who Celebrini worked with during his playing days.

“Steve Nash and I have been friends for many years, and the regard he has for this organization was a huge part of me choosing to come here and accepting this exciting opportunity,” Celebrini said."

crazy news. happy we can get in someone new because he hasn't helped our injury problems.

 

That is a surprise. I hope they bring Mike Burnstein back. This team has had worse injuries since Celebrini took over for Burnstein anyways.

 

Here is an NBA.com article on it: https://www.nba.com/warriors/news/warriors-name-rick-celebrini-director-sports-medicine-and-performance

 

The injuries have mostly been freak injuries, unrelated to fitness etc

I'm thinking with the signings this summer, the team might experience a lower percentage of injuries, as they will be the more aggressive team, the majority of the time now.

 

Celebrini did what he could do with what he had. Got another offer, and went for it. I hope he came up with a "Protect Tanev" plan that the team could use going forward.

Was this the guy that didn't put Boeser on the stretcher? with a clear back injury.

I doubt it. He isn't a paramedic or trauma surgeon, he's a recovery and rehab specialist. Sounds like his job is designing the rehab programmes for our injured players and supervising their treatment to get them healthy again, not provide interventional care at the time of injury.

 

Anyways, good on the guy. I bet Golden State pays a heck of a lot more than we do.

Well lower that frequency but add traffic, and wildfires you have BC.

 

BC traffic is nothing compared to California. I'll give you wild fires but consider BC has 235 million acres of forrest compared to Cali's 33 million acres. Cali has an unusaul number of serious wild fires in that perspective.

Temperature and rainfall differential explain a lot, add in the extra population meaning more human caused fires.

1. Hired by Linden. 2. Mysteriously, perhaps conveniently, couldn’t  solve team’s injury issues. 3. Clearly a founding member of team tank.

 

Is he leaving on his own accord or being shown the door after Trevor was shown the door (wait, he chose to leave right?)

 

Someone has got to be letting someone down here, right?

 

I'm thinking he's leaving because he just hit the jackpot for his profession. Good for him

wouldn't it make more sense to judge this guy on how the players recovered from injury? I don't see how he's responsible for players getting injured. 

 

True, injuries were more of either the players durability in the first place and the type of hockey we have been playing. Getting hemmed in your own zone for too long means you get hit more and tired faster leading to injuries.

 

Look at the Sedins, older and slower they still had good possession numbers and could keep the play in the offensive zone resulting in fewer injuries

 

Blaming the guy that that fixes the injuries is like blaming your mechanic for a factory recall. It's tough to lose a world class guy but Vancouver is usually good at attracting talent in these positions and being ahead of the league in tech (remember when players rented our hyperbaric chamber?)
