Cage Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) I don't understand hockey's cryptic explanation of injuries. What is the purpose of this evasion and what strategic value does it add to the team doing the evading? And the only explanation of an injury's duration is "long-term" and "week-to-week"? We can't know know exactly what a player's injury is? There's no more strategic and psychological game than football, but we know exactly what each player's injury is.... "MCL sprain on the left knee, out 3-4 weeks". Its clear and specific... I don't get it! Edited November 14, 2015 by Cage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubkev Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 In 2008 the NHL did away with specified injury reports. Teams are not allowed to lie about an injury, but they do not have to tell you exactly what the injury is either. This is thought to discourage targeting. You put a player on an injury report with an injured ankle and bam! The ankle is a target. But hey, I just had 4 fingers of Crown Royal, everything I said might be bullsh!t.

woods-racer Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Slept from 7am-noon. Now I'm working til 3. That makes sense. A 3rd shift-ish happy hour. Most people I know have a love/hate relationship with those hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it for about a year. Lost 30 lbs but had no social life. Working those hours was soul sucking. The human body just isn't meant to be awake all night.

Sabel79 Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 I swing between three shifts. 7am - 5pm, 3pm -1am, 9pm- 7am. First and third shifts are fine. I've always hated second with a passion. It's life-destroying and Inconvienent in the extreme. Unfortunately, we never close. Somebody's got to. Ugh. My only real problem with nights is that by the time my body clock is used to it and I'm feeling good I'm back on days. Gets old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
