In an interview Granato said something weird, like Jack is in a safe space or place or something. Sounded odd. Maybe 8m reading too much into it, but I’m suspicious this is something else. And you are right about h8m just being gone, it’s strange. After a decade of crap, I’m in for a good conspiracy theory. C’mon Jack...what’s up? Quote

But I'd be interested to hear where you got this from! Sorry - this is not from published sources. I had one second hand and still have one third-hand connection to people who interact(ed) with Sabre players in team-related off-ice settings. So, take this with a big grain of salt. I’m skeptical, myself - as per usual. I continue to think that the team’s problems don’t actually involve having an undisputed stud 1C. 1 Quote
Ross Rhea Posted March 28, 2021 Report Posted March 28, 2021 IMO, Eichel doesn't seem to be captain material at the NHL level. Great talent, yes, leader, sure doesn't seem like it. Neck injury, sure, I seen when he got his neck folded up, looked painful, but the broken rib, was what over 4 months ago, not buying that excuse anymore. Just hope he comes back and plays at the level he did last year. 1 Quote

Just hope he comes back and plays at the level he did last year. I cracked my ribs two years ago while playing beer league hockey. I couldn’t even play for three months due to pain when I breathed hard, and wasn’t normal until six months later. And that was without checking. Quote

I was on the ice after 2 weeks but breathing was painful. I was good in about 2 months. Obviously they vary, but I was never in as good shape as these pros are so idk. Again, the secrecy leads to rumour and then conspiracy. The organization don't care what we think. Quote

Not to push the point too much, but it was a neck injury at first, then a person close to the team who would not be identified said it was rib or ribs? Did someone come out and clarify this? Probably just the super secret NHL culture. Quote
thewookie1 Posted March 28, 2021 Report Posted March 28, 2021 7 minutes ago, bob_sauve28 said: His neck? Or his rib? Both, supposedly he has had a rib injury for near or prior to the season’s start. He is a world class athlete but a rib injury could make even the fittest player have breathing trouble. No matter how powerful his lungs are, if it hurts to breathe, it’s going to make it difficult to do anything. Add to that a later neck or shoulder injury and suddenly it becomes too much for even the most pain tolerant of people. 1 Quote

Probably just the super secret NHL culture. He has two injuries one is too his ribs that supposedly happened just b4 the season. The other is to his neck or upper back and that one was why he went to Colorado and there was talk he might need surgery. Since he didn't get surgery we can all be relieved. 1 Quote

I don’t think any player would talk to the media if they were not contractually obligated to do so. And just because he hasn’t appeared for a public flogging doesn’t mean that he hasn’t been in contact with the team. Quote

He missed training camp time with an injury, he looked injured when he was playing, and now they are saying that he has multiple injuries. If you aren’t going to believe that at least give a plausible alternative. 1 Quote

He already has a reputation as s coach killer, just lay low. 7 hours ago, COSabreFan said: im not saying he needs to be in locker room everyday, speak to media everyday. I think wherever he is, to get on a Zoom call at least one time to address anything is not to much to ask a Captain/face of franchise player. I just don't why you think that. 1 Quote

Jack was playing injured the whole season. The rest of the team knew it and to keep him from hurrying back from the neck thing (on top of the rib thing) they've purposely lost every game since to make sure Jack doesn't feel the need to come back until he's fully healed next season.

Marvin Posted March 29, 2021 Report Posted March 29, 2021 To be honest, I want him to shut it down for the rest of the season -- even if there is a radical change in the atmosphere around the team. I want him better next season. 1 Quote

SJSabres Fan Posted April 5, 2021 Report Posted April 5, 2021 Has anyone heard any updates on Jack’s health? Might be nice to see him play in this new system before the end of the year. Quote
Doohicksie Posted April 5, 2021 Report Posted April 5, 2021 No info but I wouldn't be surprised to find out he needs surgery of some sort. Quote
