If Mikko felt fine by the playoffs I’m hoping he was just continuing to hide what injury he had.

The Rantanen thing kind of concerns me

i find it comforting that Seguin is confident in his recovery. hopefully he picks up where he left off

I know there’s a big culture around playing injured, and not saying what the injuries are/were, but I’m calling bullshit on Mikko being fine for the playoffs.
I’m surprised Roope would have been ready by the 2nd round. Unless those tears weren’t as severe as I’m imagining.
I’m not going to hold my breath for Seguin, doubly for Benn. Ride off into the sunset and be a likely shoo-in for a jersey retirement in the future or something, dude.

Seguin’s comment on his return is so fucking comforting

Wasn’t the Olympic injury ankle-related?
I got downvoted for saying it, but this sounds like a typical ankle sprain that hasn’t had time to fully heal. With games every other night, it’s not surprising he felt good enough to play, even if it wasn’t fully resolved.
Pretty much what I expected, underwhelming injury report that almost reads like our issues are deeper than just health.
uhm_i_dont_know
Moose not sharing makes me worry he thinks it might still be a problem next season. Also, I’m nosy, I wanted to know 😔
Onuus
Watching the game between the Avs and wild last night..
I don’t know if that means the stars were better defensively and that much more close, or if the wild just went balls out in game one. I’ll be interested to see how it continues. All I know is, whoever wins this series, barring injuries, will win the cup.
I know, bold take.

Rantanen refused to give details of his broken heart.

Is this all their saying? Nothing about Nils, Artu, Miro, etc?

Seguin has been on pace for 50+ point seasons over the past two years before injury. That scoring difference was killer in this seasons round 1 exit.
(Also one of the only cup winning players on this roster. That imo has to change during free agency.)
I’m surprised to not see Steel listed with someone as well, such a hustle and puck retrieval guy all season who just was invisible through the match-up.
Rants seems like he is downplaying his injury still, if not his play was crap and that’s worrisome. He did look more like moose in game six though, like he wasn’t all that injured.
StaunchModerate
I see a lot of talk about Wyatt, Miro, and Mikko getting the C when Jamie hangs it up, but could Seguin be a stopgap captain until they get the long term solution figured out?
He’s still under contract for another year, and I could see him taking a 1-2 year sweetheart deal next summer. He’s been a face of the franchise for 13 years now, and the room loves the guy.

I was really waiting for the vindication that Mikko was massively injured to explain how he played in Round 1 – kind of sucks that we won’t get that catharsis.
Not to mention all the smoothbrains will dunk on him for not showing up, and now there’s no actual cause to counter them with.

We had heard a while ago that Roope reinjured during rehab conditioning, Faksa too. In fact, heard that Faksa’s setback was worse than his initial injury from the Olympics that he was rehabbing.
Perhaps we need to take a look at whoever runs the rehab for these players and how hard and fast they are trying to push them back into play because if Roope would not have had the re-injury during recovery conditioning, we would have likely had him for that series. Same with Faksa, with no re-injury, he would have had more games/practice under his belt before playoffs and likely played better.

Down for Seggie as captain next season

Reading this just makes remember that Hintz’s injury is Nathan MacKinnon’s fault, so screw the Avs. I hope they crash and burn.

hammies are interesting when torn, tore my left which took me out of lacrosse for 4 weeks but still had a throbbing pain months afterwards, tore the other in another game that I was only gone 3 weeks with a much duller pain. Still a very long recovery time.
Right_Bike_5416
I’m very interested in the fact that we had several injury-rehab related setbacks this year. I don’t remember that happening in recent memory, and it happened to multiple players this season alone.

Oof, Hamstring tears fucking suck.

If Mikko felt fine, then explain why the hell you weren’t moving.

I think Benn is retiring.
I don’t WANT him to retire, but at his exit interview last year he said he was going to prepare over the summer like he was coming back. This time he said he was going to just wake up one morning and know.
His interview with Gully is Wednesday. It’s likely his interview with Nill is around that time. That might clear up some things. But I feel like it’s one of those things – you know you want to come back, and if you’re unsure, it’s a no.
Maybe there’s somewhere else in the organization that makes sense for him. Or maybe he just focuses on being a Dad for a while.
Sucks to lose to the Mild, but I think 3 seasons of deep playoff runs kinda took its toll on the players. Thats 2 years in a row of devastating injuries to key players. Hope a longer offseason helps them recover and gear up for another run.

Ouch! Hamstring injuries can be fickle as I understand it, no wonder he wasn’t playing.
