MaxPac
 

Out 3 - 4 weeks.

Damn no MaxPac and no Subban!

Just what my sqaud needed. Who the hell needs an appendix anyways? Take it out while we're young already.

Is there a good chance they will be sending him to the IR?

Yeah most likely, especially since they have a good idea that he will be out long enough.

Max Paciorretty has emergency surgery
 

Max Pac out three to four weeks after having an emergency appendicectomy.

new info?

maybe I'm just a bit bitter?

just fyi...my wife is a doctor so I always hit her up for advice on this kind of thing...a normal appendectomy while a simple procedure can knock you out for 2-4 weeks simply because it can leave your spleen in a vulnerable position so any big hit could really mess you up. An 'emergency' appendectomy can be worse if the appendix has actually ruptured prior to surgery so just be aware that depending on how it played out he might be out longer.

I had no idea, I always thought it was sorta like having your tonsils out but nope

MaxPac is a wuss... I missed 1 week of school when I had my appendix out. There's no way the NHL is more demanding than grade 5.

haha, did they let you have full contact though? That was exactly my perspective too, but apparently its one of those things its best to be cautious with for athletes especially
