But given this team’s cryptic injury status updates, we will just be guessing and analyzing the video from last night non stop for the next few weeks.

Ya I pressed but got the impression they didn’t even know yet. But also got impression situation far from ideal. Then again maybe it’s something like a broken wrist that has a projectable timeline. NOTE I am TOTALLY speculating on that. Have heard absolutely nothing to that effect. Edited January 6 by smelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smelly Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 And to be clear, I would love for this info to turn out to be horse crap. But the source is unfortunately someone who should know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smelly Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 (edited) Consistent report from HF board: "Apparently its very unlikely he plays today and its not "good" news. Someone who I know in the org who is in no way connected with the team directly (works for the org) told me this. He has never told me news before so no Idea how credible this is" Edited January 6 by smelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smelly Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 (edited) Based on Lindy's comments moments ago, as well as the Timo move, looks like my source was dead on (as they always are). Yup -- trust me, bro. Edited January 6 by smelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude it isn’t my prognosis. The source’s. I’m just the messenger. Be prepared to be wrong. Not like you ever acknowledge that (see: goalies).

Yup -- trust me, bro. You’ve been wrong about every one of your attention-seeking ‘predictions’. Jack missed 5 games last time. Didn’t you say he’d be out multiple months? Just stop already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitico12 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Well, as long as the team can stay in the playoff hunt while they recover. My gut feeling however, is this season is going to unravel quite quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"So we’re gonna see how this plays out over the next little bit." Not inconsistent at all -- they are optimistic THAT HE WILL AVOID SURGERY (which would sideline him for the rest of the season). They are not happy (negative) that it is a meaningful injury and he is expected to miss time. Read more carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack missed 5 games last time. Didn’t you say he’d be out multiple months? Just stop already. You are entirely wrong. Go back and look at my posts. Dare ya. I never mentioned any source when I was talking about the last JH injury because I didn't have any inside info on that one. Rather -- as my posts make clear if you bother to look at them -- I was explicitly making my own assessment based on what I saw from the tape that it might be a neck injury, which could be a lengthy injury. I wasn't reporting anything I learned confidentially from anyone else, just spitballing like anyone else here. In fact, the ONLY other thing I cited regarding that prior JH injury was a public report on NHLN by Kevin Weekes. My source DID previously tell me -- as I have noted -- that Timo's original injury was an MCL. They stand by that. I do not know what Timo's current injury is, but I was told (correctly hours before he was put on IR) that he would be out a bit. And I only share this info because I know it is accurate and I figure people here would like to know. IDGAF about "attention" here. Why would I? No one even knows who I am. And frankly it isn't worth the ignorant and idiot garbage I get in response. So give it a rest, pal. Edited January 8 by smelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I don't have any insider knowledge but just the vibe I got from Chico and Matt on the post game radio show on Saturday night is that @smelly info is probably correct. Would love to be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarDew Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 @smelly why must you act like a condescending and arrogant SOB? You have been around since 2002, just as I have, so you are not a child yet persist like a tween. "I have knowledge you don't but I can't reveal my sources." WTF! Just converse and get off your high horse. Don't tell me I can't read or comprehend either. I see what you do. Geez. btw I can still see your crap even on ignore. Give this forum a break and stop acting entitled. 😤 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If is his source is legit why would he post that person's name on a message board when it could get his friend fired? I can understand people choosing not to believe him but it would be absolutely silly and fvcked up of him to blow up his source. Smelly is a fan of the team, why would he want to post something that hurts the team? Just to get attention? From who? All 34 of us? Idk, I unfortunately believe smellys source is right on this one and like I said before would absolutely love nothing more to be wrong and I'm sure smelly as a fan of the team would love for the info to be wrong too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
