AlaskaFlyerFan Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 So what is the real answer to what his injury is? 3 choices:1. During the WC, he was seen talking to the trainer pointing/motioning to his back. Then he was doing some trunk twisting stretches.2. Also at the WC (on the CBC broadcast), Jagr was seen stretching in the hallway. Those who saw it said it looked like he was trying to stretch out his groin.3. Post game interview, he said he was speared in the calf in a previous game.Homer said it was a groin (or maybe it's a virus). Which injury is it?

doom88 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I don't really care what the injury is, as long as the trainers/docs let it heal properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH1FlyersFan Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Homer said it was a groin (or maybe it's a virus).And now we all know that "virus" actually means concussion....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HACK55 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 At least it isn't a "taint" injury! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinorama Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'll throw in some Jagr support. I never hated the guy but of course, he wore the other team's jersey so he was the enemy. a 39 yr old, possibly washed up player signed for 3.3 mil or whatever it was... hey, I grew tired of past their prime signings by the Flyers and I believed this would be another and it's been everything but. I'm a believer for sure. The only thing I hope at this point is that he's still healthy for the POs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbulb Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 He missed maybe 12 games between 2001-2004 and this is an "issue' ?Cmon' . It's not like he's Forsberg pretending his foot is fine or Marc Savard saying his head feels 100%.Hey... just wondering if we can consider Jagr's paper machier groin an "issue" yet??? How long until I can type " I told you so"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbulb Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Jagr's groin is made of paper maché. I remember him constantly have groin issues while with the rags and caps. I'm surprised this is the first 'flare up' he's had so far. Unfortunately, at his age, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a lingering issue that bugs him all season.

radoran Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 It's nowhere near as bad as the Footpa Era. They need to give Jagr a couple weeks off and get the groin as solid as possible.They might also want to limit his playing time down the stretch to make sure he's good for the playoffs.And perhaps revisit this whole "next season" thing after this one's done.

flyercanuck Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 @radoran I agree. I mean Jagr is getting on in years, so his body will breakdown. But groin problems need to be rested, and not just sort of. Let the thing heal. And if he can't contribute in postseason, I don't want him back next year. Period.

Mad Dog Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Just for the love of God, why can't they just give him 2 weeks to rest? This team can play at 500 without him, as valuable as he has been. It's friggin' January. His long-term health is more important than winning maes in January... This is just the Flyers being the Flyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canoli Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 honestly I wouldn't beat up the Flyers or McCrossin too much on this one. With groin injuries you're going on how the patient presents, how he says he feels. Guaranteed Jagr told them "I'm good to go" knowing full well he wasn't pain-free. He wants to play, everyone knows he's been invaluable to Giroux's success .... - .... so he plays.no surprise he aggravated it and now he's out of the lineup. He misses tomorrow night and hopefully the rest he gets before the Jets come to town on the 31st is enough... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just the Flyers being the Flyers.I think he is getting that time off now. Well, we'll see if he gets 2 weeks. At least he will get some significant time. Only 1 game left til the AS break and Jags won't be playing in it. That gives him about 10 days off till the next game. Followed by 8 games in 13 days.
