Schafer Suspended One Game

[Greg Berge]

I love the g--d------'s from the IJ.  Made me think I was reading Addison and Steele. ;-)

Well.. Think Schafer's getting the moral thumbs up from most hockey folks. INCH columnist gave him a stick salute in this week's ECAC notebook for "taking one for the team" and the "timing of the rant was well calculated".

According to today's Sun:

the article says Hynes is out due to shoulder injury, and several other players will be gametime decisions.  just curious, without knowing the severity of the injury, how long is Hynes likely to be out due to a separated shoulder?

[dss28]

Wasn't someone (I think it was Hornby) out for the remainder of the season when it happened to him?  I feel like we've seen this before...

There's really no way to tell without knowing the severity of the injury.  IN fact, there are a number of injuries which could be diagnosed as a separated shoulder during an initial examination (i.e. someone looking at the injury at the game without the benefit of x-rays or an MRI), so it's not even clear that the injury is a separated shoulder.

Basically, if it's something like a mild rotator cuff injury, without an actual separation, he'll be back in a week or two.  If it's a third degree separation that requires surgery, he's done for the season.

Anecdotal experience suggests that a separated shoulder is rather susceptible to re-injury.  So this could really suck.

Yeah, that was Hornby, after a nasty spill into the boards at the first Everblades tournament his freshman year.

You can't un-ring a bell, but the Coach's main points are still well-taken.  From today's Ithaca Journal:

Funny, but I think most people think that even in the midst of his vent, he still did it in quite a classy fashion...

A separated shoulder in Estero caused Hornby to lose the rest of his sophomore season.

From a friend who had to quit the football team after his shoulder popped out every time he took a hit...

If it is his first one, he could be out a while...for some people, if it is reoccuring, they can just pop it back in and only deal with that pain...since he's missing this weekend, this is probably his first.  There could be a lot of extracurricular activity that took place with his ligaments besides the bone just popping out of the socket.  I imagine it will be a week by week decision just like it was with Marr so that the opponents are guessing.  Hynes is a truck in front of the net and opponents probably have to work on matchups if they want to give their goalie line of sight.

Good luck, Shane, with the recovery!

[cbuckser]

Does your friend think that Shane's shoulder was dislocated, rather than separated?

[atb9]

Dunno, but it sounds like it, doesn't it!  I don't know enough about the differences...

Speculation, misinformation, oh my!  ;-)

We could always just give Shane a call and see what he says!  :-P

But he did violate the no cursing regulations. ;-)
