Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted February 21, 2012 That's... less than spectacular. But I agree, best to get it done now and get him geared up for the playoffs. Last time Pavs was hurt Hank stepped up in a big way; he's already gotten on a nice run of late. What kind of knee surgery takes only 2 weeks to recover from? The minor arthroscopic kind, evidently. 1 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted February 21, 2012 What kind of knee surgery takes only 2 weeks to recover from? Seems just a little optimistic, but scoping isn't a big deal - I've had it done 4 times. You can walk on it the day of surgery. A little Aleve, some ice and a couple days later you're doing physical therapy. Well, 2 weeks later for me, but I've never been in that kind of physical condition.

ami 273 Report post Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) What kind of knee surgery takes only 2 weeks to recover from? i was wondering the same. apparently, it seems pretty minor: http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2012/02/red_wings_pavel_datsyuk_to_mis_1.html i had a repair on my torn meniscus(sp?) a couple of years ago. it took me at least two mouth to feel I can do my usual activities. I guess this two month period can be cut in half with all right procedures, exercises etc. But two weeks... sounds a little too fast...

kipwinger 8,755 Report post Posted February 21, 2012 Hopefully this explains (and remedies) his recent slump in point production and failure to take faceoffs. Definitely need both of those to come back before the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I do agree about the faceoff portion of your post, but the man has still played very well defensively and lights out game-in-game-out... Forgot the game vs Preds?

Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted February 21, 2012 *ahem* Now that that's out of my system... As long as Datsyuk is healthy and ready for the playoffs, then missing him for a few weeks in February is an acceptable price to pay. Although, it wouldn't surprise me if 2 weeks stretches to 3, or more. Get well soon, Pavs! Bertuzzi and Franzen won't be the same without you! 2 LidsFan and Danielsm reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forgot the game vs Preds? Hey I'm not saying the guy isn't good, he's always a threat. But so far, February has been his worst month (since his beginning of the season slump). He's less than a point a game in Feb, and was a point a game or more in Nov., Dec., and Jan. Also, Feb. is the first month since Oct. that's he's posted a minus (granted, only -2). Still effective, but less effective over the last 10 games or so. Edited February 21, 2012 by kipwinger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learn2LuvIt 246 Report post Posted February 21, 2012 I'm surprised they didn't pull the trigger on having this done during the All Star break. Maybe it wasn't as imminent at that point. But you'd have to think that if it was, they would have done this at the break. In past years they've given much less substantive reasons for not sending players to this event....so I'm guessing that his knee has continued to get worse since the All Star break.

rrasco 1,312 Report post Posted February 21, 2012 These guys have appendectomies and play the next week. I had an appendectomy last March and I'm still not 100%. I wasn't supposed to lift anything over 10lbs for six weeks, yet they play hockey seven days after surgery That's insane to me. Also, Vladdy already said it, but getting your knee scoped is a very minor thing now. Both my parents have had this done recently and they were walking with crutches that day and without in a matter of days. I wish Pasha could keep racking the points up, but I'd prefer a healthy Dats in the playoffs than a scoring title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
