I have to post a lot of links for this because some of the fans wont believe it.

Damn...thats crazy.

He will recover before training camp, but you never know with wrist injuries (Derek Lee for example)

 

[LonghornBob]

Well this sucks ass.

 

[icehogfan08]

did he get it from a bar fight?

Drinking beer thru a straw now

Nothing personal, blame the modern media. Sometimes they act like just because *they* say it- it becomes a "fact".

 

[DewsSox79]

this isnt good news. no one will know how this is going to affect him throughout the season.

Back before training camp.

Solid.

that doesnt mean all will be perfect in regards to his health.

And Hossa could have vertigo for 65 games, Crawford could tear his sack during training camp warm ups and Toews could have a disfiguring hang gliding accident.

thats a great statement and all, but something that actually happened and trying to make an example with fantasy land rebuts dont really fly. try to actually have a thought on something that is actually real, not fake. got it? great.

Speaking as someone who has broken my right wrist twice -- I am thinking most of the recovery time would be weight training for the wrist.

Better that than a concussion.

Is there a formula to see his actual timetable?

Thanks for the laugh....

even though it makes no sense. ok.

I lol'd


but in all seriousness..in a perfect worl he will be back before camp, but wrists can be nagging injuries ( I would know) so we dont know for sure

No, it does make sense. I was poking fun at your automatic assumption that this will be a nagging issue. I agree that it's not good news, but there's nothing to say this will be a problem during the season.

The doctor says he should make a full recovery by training camp. Key word: FULL.

I understand the point you were trying to make- that this could be some kind of nagging issue that could hamper him during the season. But when the team doctor says to expect a full recovery by training camp- he means FULL recovery as in FULLY READY TO PLAY A SEASON OF NHL HOCKEY. FULLY.

You read what the doctor said and decided "hey, I know more than a doctor. I watch hockey on tv! Nobody knows how this will affect him during the season". You are wrong. The doctor knows. And as of right now, the doctor isn't predicting any issues.

But hey, you keep on making your prognoses, Doogie. I applaud you for running a private practice and still having the time to moderate a pro sports message board. You're doing the lords work.
