That would be a heartbreaker for many fans. Really hope they are handling his injury well.


The determination of whether a player is ready to play is based primarily on the feedback from the player during stress testing.. both in physio and on the ice.. than anything a doctor could ever glean on his own.. no imaging is going to tell you the injury is completely healed and zero risk of re-injury.. imaging has definite limitations .. all it can do is tell you is if there is visible damage that hasn't healed.. no doctor would allow a guy out if that were the case.. and no player would attempt to play if told that..

The problems occur when the player feels and tests normal during testing.. the imaging doesn't indicate any damage.. and then the player comes back to play.. over stresses it during a game and gets re-injured..

The re-injury is like the failure of any material .. the result of being loaded over its maximum strength.. and/or repeated low level stress cycles incrementally causing minor failures.. damage is unnoticed.. that eventually accumulate over time to ultimately cause a major failure (injury)
There is no medical magical wand that can tell you when you can play at full speed and be risk free of re-injury.. the most prudent course of action is to double the expected recovery time and then you have a lesser chance of re-injury.. that's what we would do.. but a pro-athlete will want to cut that to the absolute minimum.. especially in the playoffs.. .. hence the problema
