[News] TJ Brodie has a broken hand - week to week

[Daryei]

Brodie: "Puck hit me where I hold my knob...."[sic]

Anyone else think it's lucky he had his hand there? He might want to have kids some day....

How would you do an "over under" on this?

I think he might have meant a before/after date.

I am hoping Wilson gets in. We need a mean presence in the back to eventually replace Engelland.

That is absolutely true about the scaphoid and the lunate, but is only common in the scaphoid due to a poor blood supply that can easily be disrupted due to injury. It's more a factor of never getting proper blood supply to a portion of the bone again that results in the slow decay. The rest almost never have that problem, but they aren't the ones you need for motion as much as the scaphoid and lunate, as they connect directly to the radius (forearm bone).

Thus endeth the lesson.

Yup. This is exactly my issue. Options were: Fuse the wrist (limited to no mobility), remove the bone (60% loss of strength), or live with it if it doesn't hurt too much.

Option C for me. Hopefully medicine can find a way at some point. Almost 10 years after the break now.

Brodie says no surgery, so not like Wideman's at all. And like I said befoer (and Hartley said as well) he can skate all he wants.

Wilson - Wotherspoon
Engelland

If possible. If Nakladal outperforms Wilson, then swap him in there instead.

I like how awesome our top 4 still looks. Thank you Sweeney for gifting us Hamilton.

Knob of his stick.

I saw the replay of him blocking that shot.
His right hand was at chest level when hit.

Are you sure?

I don't think it will be medicine finding your answer. It will be computer science. Recently read some journal articles on 3D printed replacement parts. It's coming.

^^^ I agree, although I would consider that part of "medicine"
