The injury report for the Tampa Bay Lightning

Injuries are never a valid excuse for a team to lose a playoff series. The chances are good that the team that they play is as beaten as they are. Apart from that, Hoo Boy was the Tampa Bay Lightning, who played some pretty bad things.

In his speech after the season to the media, General Manager Julien Brisebois explained some of the symptoms that the players went through at the end of the season. Some that we knew about were a surprise, and at least one was shocking in its seriousness.

Brandon Hail – concussion

This is the least surprising of all injuries. From the moment when Hagel managed to get to his ice shoes after Aaron Ekblad's illegal goal, it was obvious that the wing player was dazed. After it was announced that he would not be available for game 5, it was quite obvious that he had to do with a concussion. It is the first documented conception of the brain for hail in its NHL career, and the fact that he was able to take part in the exit interview process was a good sign that the effects were not too weak.

Victor Hedman – broken foot

The Big Swede was slowed down by a broken foot in game 4 of the series against Florida, but still managed two assists and 26:37 in game 5. While it delays its training program for training outside of the season, Hedman should be back and ready for a training camp.

Nikita Kucherov – injured left hand

On February 25, Kucherov injured 38 points in 25 games with an injured hand (11 goals, 27 templates). Perhaps part of the faulty pass that we saw on the route and in the playoffs was a result. Kucherov would never use it as an excuse, but he definitely didn't have the precision with the puck that we are used to.

Nick Paul tears in the left wrist

To be honest, this was the most surprising injury when Nick Paul was one of the best players on the ice for lightning. A great praise to him that he played through the discomfort and still appeared.

Yanni Gourde – broken finger

The Yanni Gourde we saw in the playoffs is not the one we were used to seeing in a flash uniform. He just didn't seem to be as engaged as normally, and now we somehow know why he played most of the series to adapt to a broken finger.

Anthony Cirelli – Class 2 MCL In his right knee

Another of the victims of the first games, we now know why Cirelli did not practice during the off day or on the morning skates. A burden is better than a tear, so the center of the second leash should be ready for the training camp.

Like Glendening – AC separation separation in the right shoulder

After the injury on April 9, the props will be secured in the playoffs. It is the second season in a row that he was not 100% for the post -season, since he dealt with a contaminated shoulder and Labral tear last April.

Erik Cernak – knee account

Erik Erlendsson reported that Cernak was waiting for medically from the injury he suffered in game 1 before deciding whether to play in the World Championships next week.

Oliver Bjorkstrand – Comparimentary Syndrome

It is never good if you have to look up an injury to see exactly what it is. The Cleveland Clinic describes the compartment syndrome as,

“The compartment syndrome occurs when there is too much pressure around your muscles. The pressure restricts (reduces) blood flow, fresh oxygen and nutrients on your muscles and nerves. The compartment syndrome is extremely painful.”

That doesn't sound good at all.

Bjorkstrand was injured against Detroit in the game on April 11th. Later that night he developed in his left leg, which was serious that Dr. Sean Lannon, an orthopedic surgeon, visited his house in his house around 2:00 a.m. Based on what the doctor saw, Bjorkstrand was brought into the emergency room for immediate operation.

Based on the circumstances and with the heavy crav up that we are not medical experts, it seems as if it were a case of an acute compartment syndrome that was directly suffering from the injury of Bjork beach in the game. According to the website we have visited, recovery from the operation should take about a month, and the 30-year-old should be ready for the training camp without continuing side effects.
