Let's see:Welcome back Wilma.
Wow. I wonder if he wears the shorter and less protective yet more free moving gloves. Could it have been prevented?Mikheyev out for the rest of the season after surgery to repair serious laceration to his wrist last night. He will be out several months.
Woo hoo!!Since the general thread on the Toronto Maple Leafs seems to have been vanished, here's a new place to discuss Maple Leafs events, news, points of view and yes, even Guy Lapointe.
I believe he was alluding to Nylander's less than truculent style of play.Let's see:
Wilma is (typically) a female name.
If you're referring to me, I completely don't get the reference.
I've been away from the board for 4-5 days, so, thanks for the welcome back?
If you're referring to William Nylander, well, wouldn't that be even more impressive and newsworthy?
If William is actually Wilma, a woman, playing NHL hockey~the 1st to do so in regular season games, and quite adeptly, that is historic and fantastic.
Yes, shack, you can also discuss woo hoo's in this thread.Woo hoo!!
It is now being reported that he'll be out minimum 3 months, which would put his return (at earliest) late March.Mikheyev out for the rest of the season after surgery to repair serious laceration to his wrist last night. He will be out several months.
More good news. :doh:Jake Muzzin expected out 2-3 weeks with a broken foot.
An observation. Just saw Tavares talking about how so many players were impacted by Mikheyev's injury and how they are all wearing sharp skates so they need to be extra careful and a lot of them are contemplating wearing kevlar sleeve/wrist protectors.
Question: In that case, why are none of them wearing throat/neck protectors? A cut to the throat has much more risk of a devastating injury than to a wrist.
A neck on the ice is pretty darn vulnerable and keep in mind that the circumference of the throat is bigger than the forearm so there is more surface area for a skate to come into contact with. As well, the carotid artery in the neck is the largest in the body and will bleed someone out way faster than anywhere else in the body. The upper arm is almost fully protected by the shoulder pad extension and the elbow pad.
Less vulnerable?.. A wrist or arm can stretch out on the ice and get slashed far more easily than a neck.
What an amazing goal by Nylander. He caps off the winner last night with another amazing goal to start the Leafs' scoring tonight!
It gets too hot. I've wore throat protectors before. Unless there is new technology now which there probably is.An observation.

They are available but players won't wear them. Affects range of motion and hence performance.Bring back the gloves we were wearing back in the day.
That's a huge loss. Marincin in is all you need to know how bad it is.Jake Muzzin expected out 2-3 weeks with a broken foot.
