Svech out Indefinitely Per nhl.com

[Panthers Fan 69]

hopefully it’s a knee that can heal by playoffs. 
 

Hopefully it’s not an ACL. Cheap ass Waddell is looking really smart right now.

Correction. Looks like it’s an ACL and Svech is done for the year. 
 

just like that….first round exit incoming.

fuging poo.

Guess we have to get back to 2019 underdog vibes.

This whole thing is bullshit.

First Patches, then our non-existent TDL, now Svech.

The hockey gods are being real pieces of poo this year if you ask me.

I was worried when they showed the replay and it was non contact... I didn't want to speculate and put some bad juju out there. But, when a pro athlete just comes up lame on a routine play, it usually a bad sign.

I'm sad to hear that my gut feeling was right.

Heal up Svech!

Win 1 For The Gimper!!!

Disastrous.

Ugh. Just ugh. No wonder Staal was so out of it in the interview after the first period in NJ. This is grave news. Was really hoping he just hit a rut and tweaked his ankle. ACL of a rut is… sigh.

Hope Waddell is happy about doing nothing to help the team at the trade deadline. Not even the though of injuries crossed his mind. Yea we are going to leave the playoffs early.

The script to the Hurricanes annual playoff stretch is becoming all too common. Couple injuries; Andersen starts feeling the pressure and becomes a very average goalie, suffers an injury; the depth the team prides itself on does not produce and the big names on the roster stop scoring.

Something is missing and none of us are seeing it. Although I firmly believe the team has been a piece or 2 away from being a dominant force in the league for a few years, there just seems to be something else missing. I've had no illusions this team in the last 4 years has been a serious Cup contender, but that one or two pieces seems to be the key, in my opinion.

Is there any source it’s ACL? I’m not seeing anything on Twitter or NHL.com that suggests it’s more than a “knee injury” right now.

Friedman tweeted that it’s believed to be a torn ACL.

Huh, it’s weird they are waiting on a second opinion if it’s torn.

Its Rod needing to get better assistant coaches and Waddell stop being a dumbass around the trade deadline.
