This deserved it's own thread, as I didn't want it to get lost in the shuffle... this is un-freaking believable!!!

Seriously.. I am angry and I am speechless... I swear I think somebody needs to start looking closer at these trainers or something, this is getting ridiculous!

Accidents like this happen, especially in professional sports. I don't blame the trainers or the coaches since safety is always of first importance and they will do everything humanly possible to make sure the players are safe while on the ice. However, hockey is a rigorous sport that involves a lot of contact and all that has to happen is to land wrong on a blade edge and that's all it takes. Unless I hear otherwise, I'm going to think it was simply a very nasty accident.
Hope you get well soon, JWill. We're going to count the days until you return - just come back healthy!

I'm not trying to blame anyone specifically Khabi.. as far as I can gather he never even made it to the ice for practice or on to skates, it somehow happened during warm up exercises. I just get so frustrated that last year we lead the league in man games lost to injury and the season hasn't even started yet and we have our Captain out for several weeks and JWill for most of the season...as far as what I said about the trainers it's not something you will ever hear otherwise and Friesen is supposed to be one of the best but these continuous injuries just get curious.. that's all and just my opinion.

It's definitely frustrating as I was looking forward to seeing our stars get back on the ice. We missed them last season and now we've lost at least one of them for a sizeable chunk of this one. Sigh. Too bad someone doesn't have one of those wands from Harry Potter. Get our boys fit and healthy with just one presto!

As upset as we all are, I can only imagine how he feels, he was so hopeful for this season. He's probably more upset than we can fathom.

Nor do I, lol. Maybe having Jaxon around will help, give him something else to think about.

Ohhhhh lookie.. I have a new CT!!! Yes, I'm sure being home with Jaxon will help and Kelly is probably secretly thrilled to know she is going to have his help at home for a while.
