DaGreatGazoo Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 per Panaccio on Twitter...not on trip..upper body injury. Kid can't catch a break so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahophilly Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 He sure can't and I'll be patient but... this is just starting to get concerning. I'll chalk it up to a tough start and character building thing for him but is he another injury prone type of player? If so jettison him.

flyercanuck Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I don't think you can call someone injury prone, who never was before in their career, 1/4 way into a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGreatGazoo Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Like most of us, I want to see the kid play about 10 games straight...with set linemates. Let's see what he can do. He has had no chance to build any momentum or gain any confidence to this point. He's gotta be nervous as hell, everytime he takes the ice right now.

Spinorama Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I don't think you can call someone injury prone, who never was before in their career, 1/4 way into a season.while that's true, it is frustrating to think that we can't get a good sense of what this kid can bring to the Flyers because this kid IS always injured. if you can call it prone or not doesn't change the fact that since he's been here he's been hurt. Didn't he get injured in the preseason as well? From a personnel standpoint this hasn't been a tremendous return on investment and you can't ignore that. Potential can only mean so much. High hopes still remain for the guy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGreatGazoo Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I think it's more like snake-bitten than injury prone. The broken foot was from a shot block..that's a tough break(pun intended), not necessarily a sign someone is injury prone. At least not yet...

But like was also said, it's way too early to be calling anyone a winner in the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge the trade based on the accomplishment or unaccomplishments of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinorama Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 it's way too early to be calling anyone a winner in the deal.agreed, way to early to determine the overall winner of the deal. For me though, I really want to start to see something out of this kid. I unfortunately missed the games he played since returning from injury so I wasn't able to see if he was beginning to show some of what has been advertised. I will be able to see tonight's game and once again he is injured.Back to the winners and losers of the deal is concerned. I think at this point I'm willing to say both the Flyers and the Kings have won. A culture change was sorely needed here. Addition by subtraction? Possibly. If you could take the personality out of these guys it'd be much easier to compare each other's production and numbers but unfortunately personalities can do a lot to a team and their chemistry, regardless of how good or bad a player is on the ice.

They won a cup, though that was in spite of Kaberles play. And it cost them Joe Colbourne and a 1st. Kaberle then signed with Carolina, who wishes they'd have never heard of him. I agree with you for the most part, but there are deals, like the one I mentioned that prove they aren't all like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlfly Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 amazing this guy can't stay healthy at all or our trainer staff is sucked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGreatGazoo Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 @flyercanuckHey FC..hope you are well.Everytime I think of Kaberle's name on the Cup, it just pisses me off. I've always hated that guy...proto-type underacheiver. Million dollar talent, and no heart/drive. Think of the warriors that have played in the NHL and never won a Cup. This guy makes a career out of sucking..gets dumped at the deadline, sucks for his new team, and gets a Ring. UGH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
