Guest mindfly Report post Posted August 23, 2010 Yeah during the summer reports have basically been saying, it's better but not perfect and they still don't know exactly what caused the pain in his knee, the pain was still there when the mcl was 100% healthy.. 1 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus's Garden 147 Report post Posted August 23, 2010 This is no good. If he needs surgery, they might want to go ahead and get on that, seeing as how the regular season starts in like 6 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mindfly Report post Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) This is no good. If he needs surgery, they might want to go ahead and get on that, seeing as how the regular season starts in like 6 weeks. If he gets surgery it's probably a similar one that Lecavalier had yesterday, arthroscopic surgery that is, 4weeks off maxmimum in that case.

skyphoenix 153 Report post Posted August 23, 2010 He sure waited long enough to decide to get that checked out. 1 Branton87 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titanium2 867 Report post Posted August 23, 2010 Sigh... On paper the team seemed so good. Now the #3 defenseman won't have such a great start to the season...?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nev 1,085 Report post Posted August 23, 2010 He sure waited long enough to decide to get that checked out. I'm guessing they were hoping that a bit of rest over the summer would do it good. Now he's started training in preparation for the exhibition season and its still not healed up (or as he suggests, has a bit of flotsam in his knee) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like many in this economy, there is no money (cap space went poof) - so unless he would sign for el-cheapo (while some players have to be moved as is), do not see things happening, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedWings Gone Wild 6 Report post Posted August 23, 2010 ugh... every year I cross my fingers and hope Kronwall can make it to playoffs time without an injury... It'll be a big shame if he loses most of his prime to shaky knees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titanium2 867 Report post Posted August 23, 2010 ugh... every year I cross my fingers and hope Kronwall can make it to playoffs time without an injury... It'll be a big shame if he loses most of his prime to shaky knees. I just want him to start the regular season and play a significant amount of games; finish the regular season on a good rhythm and have a good playoff. I've accepted that it's too much for him to play 82 games. Hell it's even too much to ask for what I outlined. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've accepted that it's too much for him to play 82 games. Hell it's even too much to ask for what I outlined. The best season that Kronwall had was 08/09 when he played 80 games with 6G 45A and 51P. This was when all the 'Kronwall for future Norris' talks came up. Well, he has had 6 years at the NHL level now, and 08/09 was by far his best, and only injury free year. It was his only complete year in the NHL. To think that he will play a full season and post similar numbers next year is borderline insane! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he could build on that season and do that every year then he would be the second coming. Unfortunately, I think that he had a fortunate year in 08/09. Will his knee bother him all year this year causing him to sit out a decent number of games? Thank you Georges Laraque. A hole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
