Could be long term or could be as simple as a charlie horse.
Kyrou has made strides to become a more complete player. While i remain frustrated with his extremely low hockey IQ, and his occasional lazy dumps that end up in high danger scoring chances against, i don't really hope to see us down him for an extended period of time. We need any offense we can get.
Still, i'll never not be frustrated with him i don't think. hard to see the stupid mistakes stopping if they haven't by now.
Couldn't agree more on the player and the frustrations he causes. At the same time, we do need his offense....period. And I'm doubting the charlie horse, since they said they needed an MRI, which implies knee to me. Hopefully just a mild strain and nothing structural.
They looked at Cooley's the same way just to make sure iirc. I'm just suggesting until we know we don't really, so it could be anything
If you look at the hit, you can see that the toe of his skate catches the ice and his knee collapsed. He may have torn ACL or sprained knee, I say he will miss 7 - 10 days. If it is an ACL tear and depends how bad he is out for the season.

I'm no doctor, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Sorry for negative thoughts, but I think Kyrou tore his ACL and will be out for the season. I pray I am wrong and I will gladly accept the beating from you all if I am.
No need to apologize, Master Jedi. You could very well be correct.
That's right. We may be justifiably frustrated, or disappointed with the player's performance/effort, but I don't like to see anybody injured, particularly if they are not of the personality to intentionally try to injure others on a regular basis. We need him. We need him to be better. But if we don't need him, then we definitely do not need his value to be diminished by potential suitors' concern about the effects of whatever injury.
Monty kind of downplayed it last night. Says he's probably day to day or maybe 7 - 10 days. He said they still have to get a "good" look at it. Sometimes they present as not serious until they get an MRI.
That’s good to hear, at least I hope so. The one thing that makes me think it wasn’t an ACL injury is that he didn’t have his foot/skate firmly planted on the ice, and his leg moved easily when the guy hit him. But as always, who the heck knows.
I noticed that too. So, hopefully it's just a bad sprain?

Thinking they know what it is and would say if he's out for the year?
Injuries have been hard on this team so far, compounding things for the worse.

Has anyone heard anything? Injury or at least how much time will he miss??
Interviewed Monty pre-game last night, he said something along the lines of "We're fortunate it's not nearly as bad as we initially speculated. He's day to day so we'll see how he feels when we get back to STL.
Toropchenko's injury is the one that fascinates me. lol. What the F are you doing at home that you manage to burn your leg bad enough that you can't play hockey for more than a week? Maybe lighting a fire pit in the back yard and it got out of control for a few seconds? That's the only thing I can think of that would warrant being unable to play for this long.

Did not hear that so thanks...And I think the turkey deep fryer is a real possibility.
Didn't 13 play after Thanksgiving? My speculation, since they said scalding, was that he may have tripped or something while holding a pot of boiling water. Like he was making pasta of some type.

Ah, I didn't realize they'd released the "scalding" part of the injury, which, I guess, implies a liquid or gas/steam type of burn. Well, whether it was a fried turkey mishap or something else, I'd be shocked if alcohol wasn't involved.
And if Kyrou remains out and the Blues keep winning--and scoring!--it'll definitely ignite some speculation, such as Vladdy did when the Blues had a substantially better record for a couple seasons if he wasn't playing.
I don't think Kyrou deserves the whipping boy label, at least not over the last couple seasons when he started backchecking, so I always want him in there.
