NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

[Nick]

It was always 4-6months...

[MSP4LYFE]

Every report I've read suggested the time table was closer to 4.5 than 6 months.

[Chris]

Bruins press conference tomorrow at 6pm. Rumour is that it's to announce Savard's retirement.

OR Kessel got traded back.

[armandtanzarian]

probably related to Savard or Ray Bourque got hired for something or Krejci extension or......who knows.

That Pronger injury looked pretty scary and the GM's comments are a bit concerning...

[Chris]

Yea. The weird part about the update was that Pronger needed "bed rest." For an eye injury? Hey, Neel! Come and educate us.

Zach Parise skated at center with Ilya Kovalchuk during practice Monday, the Bergen Record's Tom Gulitti reports.

[Nick]

LOL, sure Nick...It's pretty obvious that this latest development bugs you. Deny it though, no sweat off my back.

[Mike]

Shit. Now I feel bad for laughing at Pronger for being a little bitch.

[Tony]

I don't

Probably because the impact also affected the head/skull, ruling out concussion

[Scott]

Super happy I didn't trade for Pronger now.. thanks to everyone who told Chad he was stupid!

[Chris]

Yes because injuries to players can be predicted or controlled lol

[inferno31]

Don't think its a concussion. At the very least he probably has a corneal abrasion, painful injury requires a few days of antibiotics to heal as well (I've seen it in kids who hit themselves in the eye with a marker.. his is likely more severe lol). But I think hes out 2-3 weeks from the sound of it, the whole area is swollen. They are likely waiting for the swelling to go down before making a judgment to see if there was any nerve or muscle damage. He'll likely get checked out daily for now and get a CT or MRI in a few days once the swelling subsides. While the area is that swollen its difficult to see if its impacted his vision, or any of the muscles in/around his eye.

Also since it looks cool here is the test they use to diagnosis corneal abrasions.

.. Well it looks cool to me anyway..

With Pronger they're pretty predictable.

[Nick]

High stick in the eye is predictable...


It's known he'll be taking 'self' days throughout the year due to a sore/stiff back or a nagging wrist...but without checking the # last year was an aberration in a career of 70+ GP.

I laughed until I saw the replay. Then I felt bad.

It was also a tad disheartening hearing him screaming on the ice like he was, he is very tough after all.
