Hossa's Injury

[supraman]

It seems people have already forgotten Havlat, Hossa is still an Iron man compared to him.

Or is it people remember Havlat and say "Not this shit again".



Honestly I'm not happy with Hossa being out but I'm not worried either. We were awesome without him last year, only got better with him but I think we will weather this storm just fine. But it does suck that he "seems" to always be dealing with some type of injury.

from JJ's blog:



UPDATE/9:29 AM Central: Hossa was apparently seen leaving Northwestern Memorial Hospital yesterday on his own power, without crutches, but with a noticeable limp (thx to poster BILLYFROM).



No mention of Skille's involvement.

2 weeks, whew. Not too bad. Hopefully the rest of the gang steps it up and manages without him.

You'd think playing at home they'd be ok. That said playing at home has been no fun for this team. Meanwhile their road record is excellent.

Alas good people, it looks like from what everyone else is reporting and/or tweeting that the estimate is 2-3 weeks.

[font="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]CHICAGO -- Chicago Blackhawks winger Marian Hossa will miss two to three weeks with a lower body injury after colliding with teammate Nick Boynton during practice on Monday.[/font]

[font="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"] [/font]

[font="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"] [/font][font="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]Hossa, who missed five games earlier this season with an upper body injury, had to be helped off the ice after the collision on Monday. The Blackhawks recalled forward Jeremy Morinfrom Rockford on Tuesday to take his place on the roster.



"Things happen like that," Hossa said Tuesday of the collision. "It can happen away from the game too, so it's all part of it. You deal with. It's an opportunity for Morin to come up and hopefully he can take advantage of the chance and the challenge. We'll just go from there."



Morin, 19, made his NHL debut on Nov. 6 against the Atlanta Thrashers. He leads Rockford with six goals.



Corey Crawford will start his third straight game in goal on Tuesday against the St. Louis BluesSt. Louis Blues, the first of four straight games and nine of 11 at the United Center.

At least he won't need surgery. That was my biggest fear.

You ain't never lied! My fear was that it was going to be so much worse when I read a rumor online last night about Northwestern Memorial being involved. This news to me is at least a sigh of relief compared to the alternative.

 

[PatrickShart]

So he'll miss 5gms if 2 weeks.....7gms if 3

vs STL

vs Van

vs CAL

vs DAL

at SJ



Thats 2 weeks.....then

at COL

vs COL

vs DET



Would make 3 weeks

Probably had to get an MRI done, that's why he was at Northwestern Memorial. I'm relieved, actually. Sucks he'll be out 2-3 weeks, but, that is actually good news. Sounds pretty minor. If it was some kind of major tear, he would be out twice that amount of time, and possibly need surgery.

Oh, man, me too. I feared it was a Burish-type injury that would having him missing months, not weeks. I'm pretty relieved at this.

And as mentioned with a 5.2 mil Cap Hit the contract is just amazing.

Cap hit is amazing....................as long as he is on the ice.

Yea that works for Keith, Kane and Toews just the same.

Exactly. I don't get the singling out of Hossa. The guy is world class at both ends of the ice and plays his ass off every night. And my God, I can forgive him being injured a couple of times especially given all the games he's played the last three years. It's not like he's Havlat, playing hard only in his contract year. At his cap hit, Hossa's an absolute bargain.

Oh no you didn't!?





Just curious how many games both of them have missed the past two seasons now.

 

[MassHavoc]

OOOoOoO I've been in the same MRI machine and Hossa. Does that mean we shared a moment separately?

 

[FlaHawkFan]

Oh no you didn't!?

Hee! I know, I shouldn't have.



Havlat probably hasn't missed as many games due solely to the number of games Hossa missed at the beginning of last year. But at least when he has played, Hossa hasn't gotten into his coach's doghouse for floating the way Havlat has.

Havlat just happened to finally be healthy in the year his contract was up.

A'yup. So far: 23GP 22P Only Crosby has scored at a higher pace the past two weeks.



Anyways I don't want to turn it into Havlat vs Hossa debate because what's done is done, just like Ladd and Buff are gone. It just sucks that Hossa, who has been so damn durable has been missing games here and there for whatever reason.

What makes this incredibly annoying is that it happened in practice....where they should be in a much more controlled environment...
