dlbalr Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Xhekaj acknowledged today that he played through the shoulder injury for most of the season and hit it from the team since he wanted to play. Guhle confirmed he has a head injury but is hoping to play at the Worlds and has been invited to play. Considering he's been skating for a few days now, I think he was probably pretty close to returning had the season gone on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players hiding injuries is something no training/medical staff can prevent and it means they can't protect the players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHT120 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 "My son weighs about 25 pounds and I struggled to hold him in my arms for more than a minute without discomfort," he said Tuesday morning during a lengthy interview with La Presse. Despite a "daily routine" that allows him to cope with pain, sitting or standing for a long time is now painful. Air travel, therefore, is "difficult". "I got to a point where I couldn't go on," he says. "I spoke with the medical staff of what my life after hockey could look like if I didn't stop. There was a lot of doubt about how it would affect me in the long run. When we started talking about it, it became real. Life is long after the end of a career." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago 4 months is a long recovery but he should be good for half the season hopefully. I think the kid was already fighting for a roster spot and this doesn’t help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like RHP, but once the AHL prospects turn the development corner, he will become a casualty of waivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago If hes out for four months. He goes on IR and doesnt need waivers. By the time he comes back.there could be other injuries, or the teams could have traded guys like Armia and Dvorak before they are UFAs. There may be roster space for him to play and then he either proves himself or leaves. The idea that he wont even get a chance seems short sighted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
