Gatorman0519 Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 He’s probably been playing injured the whole time. Shut him down at this point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 I know NHL injuries have to be treated like they are part of a secret society, but I'd feel much better about the future of Eichel as a Sabre, if they fessed up that he has been playing through an injury the entire year, it's not getting better, and we are shutting him down for the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 I suspect (hope?) they've finally convinced him that it is better off for everyone involved if he stays away until he's himself again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - I don't really understand it either. Football they have to disclose why a player misses a practice, or wears a non-contact jersey. If a team hides an injury they can get fined. In hockey its this great mystery, and even when they are hurt they just say upper or lower body. Players in all sports play hurt, in hockey they just feel the need to hide it across the board.

PASabreFan Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 For those who missed it, Eichel was in a puck battle along the wall behind the Isles' net. Clutterbuck easily wedged Eichel off the puck and pinned him to the boards. Jack got into an awkward position where his head almost got stuck to the glass before finally popping up. He grabbed the back of his neck and skated to the bench. The ease with which Eichel was knocked off the puck might be evidence of his other injury (if it wasn't his neck all along). Jack's a strong boy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustache of God Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 It's been so obvious that he's been playing injured. My only guess for them not showing their cards is to maybe not encourage other teams to really lay into him to get him off his game, however, any reasonable scouting staff for other teams would certainly pick up on...so...? I hope this doesn't give Ralph more rope by giving him this excuse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radar Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Another excuse for our problems?? I can here it now. Covid, injuries ect. Guess it is sensible to not take chances with him physically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Good. I thought they should have shut him down a month ago. His replacement actually has a chance to improve the position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Pure speculation, but given that jack is a gym freak, and knowing what his body looks like (and what he could clean when he was just 16 years old), I wonder if his gym routine is actually deteriorating him. The first two ankle sprains were flukes, but little stuff here and there since then seems to be increasing at an alarming rate Dude's been lifting big for a long time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Frankly, this is comforting. He has just not been himself.

He got hurt in the last game. Third period. Slammed into the boards and hurt his neck. They showed him several times wincing in pain on the bench but he played through it. This injury could be connected to something chronic that has slowed him down this season. Edited March 9, 2021 by Pimlach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They showed him several times wincing in pain on the bench but he played through it. But what are his 3 other mystery injuries that people have whispered about, and why did he have lingering injury issues no one would say anything about each of the last couple years? We know that his injury to start training camp was from "training" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably fed up with everyone questioning his poor season. Can’t blame him really. Rivet called it yesterday on the Instigators. If you are injured, don’t play. You are hurting the team. They need to call up R2 and put him in the top 6. As if anything could help these guys at this point. Edited March 9, 2021 by inkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
