Official Ottawa Senators Thread

i thought that once it healed again it was generally fine ..but it was the healing that was the problem..but i'll wait for an actual medical opinion ...i'm sure there will be enough of them being written up by tomorrow .... 

I hate the sens for the most part..but i watched this and cringed..this is awful...not just the thought of that getting cut ..just how good this kid clearly is
 
Rival or not, I have to feel for the Sens and their fans. Disastrous blow. Hopefully there are very few long-term effects of this.

Wikipedia says up to 12-16 months for recovery, depending on the severity of the injury.

I had one badly stretched. Took a year before it was right. Looking around the net, I've seen roughly 100 days after surgery as a possible kind of best case time frame for recovery. It's too early to tell. They'll know more after the surgery.

Like many tendon injuries, you start to feel fine gradually ramping up and then suddenly, you can hurt it again. Surgery reduces that. I didn't have surgery and suffered by hurting it again.

I'm sure he'll get the best of care and do better than the average person making it back.
 
mikael leshoure for the detroit lions tore his achillies 2 years ago in the preseason.  It took him more than the entire season to recover but came back last year and was fine as far as teh injury and put up some pretty good games towards teh end of the year.

so if an nfl running back can come back fine, I think that karlsson will be fine too...just not for this year and maybe not until well into next season.

Looks accidental but careless to me. Maybe accidentally on purpose, but that's probably pushing it. If it was someone other than Matt Cooke, we probably wouldn't really be questioning it.

I think that probably sums it up.
 
Watching the play a few more times, the less I think there was any real intent there. They went into the boards together in a puck battle, and Cooke tries to put his foot in behind Karlsson's as guys often do in that situation. Unfortunately, his aim was off and he gets the back of Karlsson's ankle just above the skate, and . . . well, here we are. He didn't seem to put his foot down excessively hard or anything - just the angle he came down on, the location, the angle of Karlsson's leg . . . basically, it was a perfect storm for this type of injury.
 
Watching replay Cooke was coming in to check. Why was his foot up. In any case it was a careless act much as it would be with an errant stick. If an errant stick put a player out for the season that offending player would be suspended. Cook has a bad reputation anyways. With any suspension a players history factors in to the number of games suspended.

Because, if you watch the replay, he was pretty clearly off balance. An unintentional errant stick wouldn't get a player suspended - it didn't get Grabovski suspended last year when he pretty much ended Pronger's career with one - and neither should this.

If there were to be a suspension, sure, but it shouldn't play into the verdict. Just because it was Cooke doesn't mean it was intentional.
 
Aaron Ward looked at the first two minutes of the CGY-DAL game tonight and found two examples of the exact same play (with the attacking players foot up off the ice), without the unfortunate outcome of course. That exact thing probably happens dozens of times in any game.

Good analysis by Ward there on the foot riding up like that, it's really unfortunate it had the result that it did tonight; very flukey, it really was the perfect storm for that injury as someone said earlier.
