That is an injury that lingers for months.

"I was skating and my left skate seemed to have caught a rut in the ice and my legs kind of went into a splits position," Baertschi said. "I felt pain immediately and left the ice to have it checked. It’s very disappointing to learn that it’s a hip flexor injury that will keep me out of the line-up.

"I’ve started treatments and plan on working very hard at getting back to 100% as quickly as possible so I can help our team be successful and win games."

And I have no idea what the heck this means:

So Baertschi..week to week with Hip Flexor? Hmmm I find that very peculiar, since I was here when it occured. Info sent by @NHLFlames

I think Roger thought it would be a knee injury.

Sometimes he speaks in riddles.

caused by a rut in the ice??

Ken King pls for the love of hockey and all that is right do something to fix the ####tiest ice in all of Canada!!!!!!

[Ashasx]

So we can confirm that this was caused by a rut in the ice, and not Matt Stajan?

Not sure what the heck you're talking about (as usual.) Baertschi is losing a year off his contract if he played in the AHL or the NHL.

When people talking about burning a year off a player's deal they are talking about 18 or 19 year olds playing junior and whether they should stay in the NHL and use up a year of their entry level deal or not. Once they are 20 and playing pro hockey they have to use up a year of their deal so it is completely irrelevant to the discussion.

What's unfortunate is that he caught a rut in the ice. Burning years off his contract has absolutely nothing to do with anything here.

Once again you flout your ignorance.

No kidding. Edmonton always gets recognition for good ice. I remember a couple years back where the puck was always bouncing like a tennis ball at the dome. Guess our ice still sucks.

Well Millions thinks Comeau is the reason Cervenka is on "maintenance"

er Millions ‏@RogMillions No Cervenka at skate. Perhaps more to it than conditioning. He was hit by Comeau Tues. Could have residual effects.

a hip flexor would affect your ability to raise your knee; may be why it appeared like a knee injury

A minor "injury" would be one way to sit him for a couple games without everyone freaking out...just saying.

Didn't Roger tweat yesterday that no one really saw it happen?

[Erick Estrada]

How much more fail can Blake Comeau bring to this organization?

Give the guy credit. He finds ways to keep himself in the line up.

God help us if management is staging an injury to a player to avoid a fan base freakout if he sits a couple of games.

I would think it would be more for keeping the media scrutiny down.

[alcatrazhockey]

Major surgery likely to follow.

Stajan created the rut. Or Comeau.

[northcrunk]

Stupid Comeau, buy him out already.
