Erik Karlsson calf was cut by Cooke's skate

3-4 months. He could be back for the playoffs, no?

Either way, at least he'll be back in plenty of time for the start of next season in January.

Here's a pretty good article about this after Cooke apologized to Karlsson.
Y! SPORTS

"He knows exactly what he is doing out there. That is why I am sitting here with leg in cast."

“I don’t think he did it on purpose … He meant to hit me hard and knock me out.”

"I still think it was a situation that could have been prevented.”

[On Cooke’s text message to Karlsson] “He has been after me before. … At least he reached out which I didn’t expect. We’re going to leave it at that." - Karlsson

I watched the whole Karlsson press conference. He didn't say it flat out but he said that Cooke had no reason to make the play he did and that he felt Cooke was trying to knock him down with a dirty play. Thought it could easily have been prevented from Cooke's end. Other things:

• Karlsson refuses to believe that ANYONE, including Cooke, would try to cut him with the skate.
• He said "he knew exactly who was behind him and moved to avoid the hit. He knows exactlly what kind of player Cooke is."
• Said if it was "another kind of player" coming to hit him, he'd still be playing.
• Has nothing to say to Matt Cooke
• Implied that Cooke has tried to injure him before.

Yeah I posted it in the super human thread. That is incredible matt, I would have never thought he would have come back this year unless the Sens made a deep run. He (assuming he is 100%) makes the Sens much better. I wonder what Spezzas status is?

Off-hand Boss, I'd say day-to-day with uncontrolled fits of giggling...

LOL, Is that considered an "Upper body" giggly er...injury?

Glad to see he made a speedy recovery! Just hope he's actually at 100%, and not being rushed. Then again, I don't know what the risks are from rushing back from an achilles injury, vs. rushing back from a concussion or knee injury.

Pretty limited. He won't really reinjure it...could get really sore. The bigger issue is will weakness lead to another injury. Fairly low risk. Tendons are just slow healers because of blood supply, but I'm pretty confident he's healed completely.

sorry boss Im not sure i knew that thread existed I even did a search so I got it in the right one lol... it is incredible. I hope hes not forcing it. Bieksa came back from TWO of those injuries in a 3 year span its amazing he has a career still.

Spezza I think if they make the playoffs may be back by 2nd round if they get through which with the way they are playing is a tough go.
