2014/15 Leafs Injuries Thread

Me (reading the news out loud): Wow, Leafs will be playing without their captain for at least a week. He's injured.

Hubby(without missing a beat): Leafs have been playing without a captain since Phaneuf got here.........

Yes all of TML wows have been because of Dion.

Oh misery. Wow is me.

Thanks Andy007, I have missed our english lessons.

Indeed you have.

Lupul aggravated injury, out at least next 3 games, Horachek said. #Leafs

For crying out loud...

Lupes lifestyle is not conducive to some backwater town, if we get him a trade to LA, Chicago or NY I'm sure he'll be healthy again.

Hey remember this tweet from when Lupul returned from his previous injury:

Jonas Siegel ‏@jonasTSN1050  Jan 31
Looks like Lupul's knee may be bothering him. Acknowledged this morning that he wasn't 100%. Testing it out during TV break.

Shocking that the injury never completely healed.

time for Joffrey to call it a career and go play guitar for the replacements or death cab for cutie or someone

I think you're confusing him with Lundquist.     If Lupul played guitar he would probably tear his rotator cuff.

Wonder how many rotator cuff surgeries Pete Townshend has had.

[Chev-boyar-sky]

This guy is unreal.

Anyway, better rest up for the deadline, even though he's probably not going anywhere.

Did I read that Franson is injured too? That's 2 of the more talented roster players out then.

Tank it up!

Has anyone else heard a wild rumour about Phanuef and Lupul and an off-ice fight ? I'm not putting any stock into it but it is a crazy one !!

You're right not to put any stock into it. There's always rumours about teammates on struggling teams getting into fights. There's rarely much truth to those rumours.

[Highlander]

I hope Lupul landed one!

[Potvin29]

Maybe fighting over who gets to see the doctor first.

A bit more information on Lupul's situation right now:

When a slim glimmer of hope remained that the Toronto Maple Leafs could get back into contention late last month, Joffrey Lupul decided he couldn't wait any longer to return from injury. He considered it "do-or-die time" and rushed back.

The result was just two points in six ineffective games before the organizational decision was made to rest Lupul. He has missed three more games since as the struggling Leafs understandably take a wait-and-see-and-wait-some-more approach to his nagging lower-body injury.

"It was just obviously the situation differs when it's kind of that desperation playoff time," Lupul said Wednesday. "When the losses started to pile up a little bit and it became obvious we weren't going to the playoffs, we decided with the training staff and the coaches it was best just to shut it down for a couple weeks and try and get it closer to 100 per cent, not go out there and put myself at risk or take ice time from someone who's working hard to go out there and play."

Could have probably worked this into the Tank thread as well

Can he reach 100% before March 2?  Lupul seems like a better trade-deadline trade than an off-season trade, because maaaaybe he can stay healthy for one post-season, but a full regular + post-season? Forget it!
