Mark Stone - lacerated spleen
Another year, another Mark Stone LTIR report before the trade deadline. Vegas doing Chicago things again. I have never had a ruptured spleen, and I am sure it's unpleasant, but anyone laying bets on when he will be healed?

https://twitter.com/AlexOlney/status...80534714601785Sounds like #VGK Mark Stone is dealing with a lacerated spleen. Timeline is tough to pin down with an injury of that nature, but it’s obviously a significant one.
Can you explain?

Mark Stone is so unlucky!

Re: Mark Stone - lacerated spleen
I mean, if the report of a ruptured spleen is accurate (and I have to believe it is), that's a potentially life threatening injury. He'd be wise to take it slow with this one. And with a 3-12 week typical recovery time line, I'd be hard pressed to complain if he waited until the longer end of that range to come back to a physically grueling sport at the highest level.

Re: Mark Stone - lacerated spleen
Game 83 he's healthy enough to play, with a Stanley Cup on the line, vs. game 82 with nothing on the line, but in neither instance will he be 100% healthy.Originally Posted by 2014olympicgold
Really smart people weirdly struggle with this concept.
Re: Mark Stone - lacerated spleen
Not to make light of what is clearly a scary injury, but I drafted Stone and Eichel in my one year league season and remember thinking "all I want is for both not to be out at the same time". So close.....

Re: Mark Stone - lacerated spleen
I hope you know it's tongue in cheek comments like I made.
Like 80% of the league isn't 100% healthy after game 2 of the year. If he's just healthy enough to play for game 75, why would you not sit him out for the next 7 games? I 100% get the concept. And it's a lacerated spleen, not an injury that they've put off surgery for until the times right (like Matt Murray and the Leafs).

Re: Mark Stone - lacerated spleen
I did the exact same thing... you'd think I'd learnt my lessen by now.
Re: Mark Stone - lacerated spleen
I'll let you guys know when I DON'T put Eichel on my team at the start of the season. Guaranteed he will play 82 games at 1.33 points per game.
SOME POOL RULES. 20F 5D. Points are (G-1, A-1). At this time Count the 20 best scorers on our team and we are allowed just1 move a month for injury or to replace underperforming player. One year Hybrid Pool. 3 round draft Teams fill out the Balance of roster with any NHL players that were NOT DRAFTED in OUR Draft. So yes, several teams could have the same players SALARIES AND POSITIONS DO NOT MATTER (other than being a F or D). NO Inter-Team Trading, Bench or Minors. Our WAIVER WIRE is ANY player in the NHL who was not Drafted in our league's 3 round draft.

Lacerated spleen is two of the most unsettling injury words I've ever read.
Yuck. Sounds terrible.
I have absolutely no experience or take on what this injury entails.
Best wishes to Stone.
Re: Mark Stone - lacerated spleen
First player I heard with this injury was Peter Forsberg. Damn serious injury. Of course it's Mark Stone. He and Kris Letang can one up each other at a future NHL alumni golf tournament with the variety of serious injuries/illnesses they suffered during their NHL careers.

Re: Mark Stone - lacerated spleen
Lacerated spleen. Almost regardless of its severity, the risk is that he gets hit again (yeah, 100% right?) before it’s fully healed. The team docs won’t//shouldn’t let him play until May. I’ve cared for several of these - one was a collegiate hockey player.
On the other hand, Charles Barkley ignored his doctors’ advice and was back playing basketball in a week. Different sport, but still….
