[Cobiemonster]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO whhhhhy

This is BS

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

That sucks, wish him the best in his recovery.

 

[Retroram52]

That really sucks. Promising young player like that has a nasty setback. He'll be back.

 

[Progeriakid]

This really blows, I know all to well about ACL's, I'm on my third in my left knee(along with no miniscus from years of trauma and abuse to the joint) as I speak and I have a slight meniscus tear in my right and leaning towards a total knee but my Doc's won't do it because I am to young but I cannot function like a normal person. I hope he comes back stronger & ready to go next pre-season! I cringe every time I see someone go down with a knee injury as it brings back alot of bad memories.

 

[Hextall]

fuck, that sucks....

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Feel bad for the kid but he'll bounce back.

 

[awaz]

ya this sucks pretty bad. lots of potential games of experience down the drain

hope he heals up quick and comes back bigger and better than ever.

 

[JBM73]

Pretty much confirmes that this franchise is truly cursed.

Wish him a fast recovery but it's not like the guy was already destined to the HOF.....

He's still a high end prospect that plays a position that the Flyers are depleted at. Also a setback to his development as a player.

I heard that Hextall hasn't ruled him out for the season. Maybe it wasn't a full blown tear?

 

[JBM73]

Apparently Morin has a fractured jaw?

"Gostisbehere and Sam Morin (fractured jaw) are the Flyers' top two defensive prospects and both are injured."

yeppers.. he should be getting ready to come back though if they were right on the '4 weeks' prognosis.

from the prospect thread:

Don't know the context but apparently Morin left his game in an ambulance


Sounds like a puck to the face. Could be a lot worse

 

[JBM73]

Thanks, Awaz. Work has been killing me and I missed that one...

yup no worries.. kinda got buried in there. he was at a flyers game shortly after and he seemed to be in pretty good spirits so that was a good sign.

Since it is a knee injury, the only good I can find is that Ghost can work on upper body strength. If nothing else he needs to develop some more upper body. I thought he had some trouble taking a guy off the puck.

As far as rehab, remember he is a professional athlete. When I was recovering from shoulder surgery, there was a Phillies minor league pitcher going to where I had therapy. He had very similar surgery. I watch him progress so much faster than me. I spoke to my therapist about it and she explained that it was his job to rehab and recover. I was there 3 times per week after work. The therapist and trainers were working on him as a full time job. Hopefully Ghost doesn't miss a beat.

 

[awaz]

apparently it was just a partial tear.. after surgery last week, Hextall said the estimated time on the shelf is 3-3.5 months. That's not as bad as expected. I was thinking 6 months at best.
