darthbal Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 As per Bill Meltzer and Tim Panaccio, Patrick is 4 to 6 week out with recovery of abdominal surgery... And his uncle say he will need another year of prep before he is ready; I guess he is not starting the season with the big club... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineFlyFan Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Bill Meltzer @billmeltzer "Hextall said Patrick will be fine for camp. Common sports hernia procedure." What you talking about Willis?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 6 weeks from now is a full month before the start of traning camp. I imagine it was surgery to correct the undiagnosed sports hernia that he played with this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Jeez, it's the second coming of Adrian Foster with all the abdomen and hernia surgeries. As well, how the hell does a professional sports medicine doctor 'miss' a hernia when he's in there repairing one. Incompetence at it's finest.

pilldoc Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 from: https://www.broadstreethockey.com/2017/6/30/15905612/nolan-patrick-injury-surgery-flyers-nhl-draft-2017 Is it ideal that Patrick had a misdiagnosed injury and that he had to have surgery two weeks before he was drafted No. 2 overall? No, it’s obviously not ideal. Is it the end of the world and will it torpedo his NHL career? No, obviously not either. At the end of the day, I’m pretty confident that the Flyers did their homework before taking Patrick with that pick, particularly since the surgery was before the draft even happened. The doctor who operated on Patrick is Philadelphia’s own Dr. William Meyers, and he’s known as one of the top core muscle injuries. Here’s a piece of a 2015 Fox Sports profile on him: Chances are, if a professional athlete has had surgery to repair a core injury, Meyers was the guy who performed it — you could call him the James Andrews of the field in that way; the two are close friends — with more seeking his expertise each week. Most recently, Meyers was in the news for his treatment of Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, who underwent surgery last week to repair an abdominal injury, and over the years, he’s taken care of some of the world’s biggest stars, from Adrian Peterson and Arian Foster to Justin Verlander and Robinson Cano, with athletes from just about every level of every sport in between. In more than three decades in the field, Meyers estimates he’s performed some 20,000 operations on these core muscles, which essentially comprise everything from mid-chest to mid-thigh ("the American League strike zone," the Red Sox fan Meyers calls it), and the prevailing myth that Meyers aims to someday debunk is the one that all of them have been to fix the same thing. Hopefully this will be the last we of hear/read about this .......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The Flyers said the surgery was related to the sports hernia issues that limited Patrick to 33 games with Brandon of the Western Hockey League this season. Patrick had surgery in July to repair a sports hernia on his left side but said during the 2017 NHL Scouting Combine this month that doctors missed one on the right side. Flyers general manager Ron Hextall said during a conference call Friday that the second sports hernia was detected by Flyers doctors when Patrick visited Philadelphia on June 9. "This is the injury that affected Nolan the whole year," Hextall said. Hextall said Patrick's agent, Kevin Epp, called him and New Jersey Devils GM Ray Shero to inform them of Patrick's decision to have surgery. The Devils selected Nico Hischier with the No. 1 pick June 23. Hextall said that when the Flyers' turn came at No. 2 there was no hesitation in selecting Patrick. "I felt better about it," Hextall said. "Once we found out what the issue was and what had been bothering him all year, the entire season, from last season's offseason training and conditioning, the start of the year and throughout the year, it provided us with clarity." Hextall said Patrick should be fully healthy when training camp begins. 2 https://www.nhl.com/news/flyers-nolan-patrick-recovering-from-surgery/c-290242696 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Looks like Nolan Patrick will be cleared to skate next week. Things are progressing at the rate the team anticipated. Let's just hope and pray this is the last Patrick/injury thread for the next couple years!! https://www.nhl.com/news/flyers-nolan-patrick-excited-to-be-back-on-ice-next-week/c-290324520?tid=277729154 Just a side tidbit in this article....Patrick has played exactly ONE period as a winger in his entire WHL career. DO NOT move this kid out of position. If he can't make the team as a C, send him down. The NHL is tough enough to break in, but to break in while switching from a natural position, well, that is asking to much. We all KNOW how the Flyers move these kids around, NOT THIS TIME guys, leave the kid alone and let him grow into the 1C position this team will need moving forward. Basically, he needs to be playing quality time with quality wingers, which means top 9 minutes. Anything less might stunt his development. Don't tinker with that poor kid, he's a C, leave it alone!!!

Agree with all above. I understand the propensity of this organization to move players aground. However, if he has played exactly 1 period at wing...then leave him well enough alone and groom him for the 1C position. The last thing this organization needs to do is screw around with the gift they received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy like B.Schenn for instance, just never fit wherever they played him, the line, the position never seemed to fit. Other times, they have messed with guys and it just screwed them up. Hopefully, the don't mess with Nolan. It would make no sense at all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
