Stamkos injured

[Jasmine]

Watching the matinée game between the Bruins & Bolts. Stamkos was taken off the ice on a stretcher and brought to the hospital for X-rays. Looks like a possible leg injury..

Re: Stamkos injured

Hope he comes back soon, talented player and he's avoided injuries so far. Also has a good partnership with St.Louis for my fantasy team. And Tampa is a good story, not sure they can manage without Stamkos.

Damn, that sucks for the Lightning :/ Too bad we don't play them until December, lol.

Re: Stamkos injured

They are saying broken tibia - if that's true he's out at least 4-6 weeks and probably longer.

EDIT: He's gonna need surgery, according to Aaron Ward. He could miss the Olympics!

Re: Stamkos injured

I think the Lightning lose their playoff spot with this injury.

Re: Stamkos injured

I'd say that but they said the same last year about Karlsson, Spezza, Anderson, etc.

Re: Stamkos injured

I think I agree with Ambrose; I had Tampa and Washington making the 7 and 8 spots and Philly not making the Playoffs at all. With Stamkos' injury, and if the Flyers keep improving, I can definitely see Philadelphia taking Tampa Bay's spot.

Re: Stamkos injured

He's already walking.

Re: Stamkos injured

He is lucky to have a medical team around him like that. I suffered the same injury 5 years ago and I was in a cast for 8 weeks. I have a metal plate covering the fractured area...he has a metal pin starting at the knee all the way down to his ankle. Still suprised he is already walking on it though...

Re: Stamkos injured

Stamkos got the green light, he will be in the lineup for tomorrow's game.

Re: Stamkos injured

Best trade deadline acquisition of all!

[Jasmine]

Re: Stamkos injured

I agree..and I hope they don't trade St-Louis. But I can see why they would do it now, his worth is sky high...

Edit: Wasn't aware he had requested the trade, was out of the loop on that one... humm
