CADevilsFan 0 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Surgery for Langenbrunner, Janssen Right wing Jamie Langenbrunner will have surgery Thursday to repair a nagging groin injury. Langenbrunner was examined by a specialist on Wednesday in Montreal. Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello said the injury is not an abdominal tear or a sports hernia, but the extent of the injury and the length of Langenbrunner's recovery won't be known until after doctors complete the operation. Right wing Cam Janssen will also require surgery to repair his right shoulder, which he dislocated for the second time in less than a year in Monday's preseason loss to Philadelphia. Lamoriello said Janssen will have to wait to have the operation, however, because "the shoulder has to settle down." White update Devils GM Lou Lamoriello said the team would have to wait 24 hours to know the extent of the injury defenseman Colin White sustained when he was struck above the right eye with the puck during practice earlier today. Lamoriello said White has a laceration above the right eye, but the eye is swollen shut. They will have to wait until the swelling subsides to determine if there were any facial fractures and damage to the eye. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nmigliore 11 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Season didn't even start and we already have a few injuries.. Janssen i could care less to be honest, we have alot of other people who can "take the body" while hes out.. Langs will be missed certainly and that messes up the Zajac/Parise/Langs line, who probably were the best line finishing last year.. White is another big loss, but if its only a swollen eye from a puck it should be all healed up by this start of the regular season.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MB3 5,670 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Great, the real season for the Devils to prove they can kick ass without our high $coring offenseman, and great defenseman... and we get plagued by injuries before October even starts. Wonderful... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Derek21 49 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) That's why depth is so important. Do the Devils have it? We'll find out. Janssen is an extra but Langenbrunner is probably their most versatile forward. Edited September 20, 2007 by Derek21 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

empulse27 0 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Hey now, this isn't football where one, or in our case, three injuries can ruin an entire season (ahem, every New York Giants team I grew up watching). We'll get to see some younger guys step up and hopefully play well in their places for awhile Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Triumph 1,415 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Devils have got plenty of depth for losing Langenbrunner - Brylin, Viukhola, Clarkson, Asham, and perhaps Tallackson should contribute to filling that hole. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stevestevens 0 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) I dont think depth will be a problem at all. You prefer your regulars but you cant stress it when you have adequate backups. Edited September 20, 2007 by SteveStevens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
