so is it likely that the habs open next season without gorges, markov, and eller?
Or is Gorges pretty much a lock to be ready?
I think both Gorges and Markov should be ready for TC. Not sure but I think both their injuries are about 6 month rehab time. And they both had their operations in January I believe? Not sure but I'd think they would both be ready for training camp.
Sorry.....wrote 4-6 weeks...but was aware of 4-6 months. Generally, you recover reasonably well and early from these surgeries....rehab takes a few months.....so he can build up his shoulders over that time.
Have you seen how light Eller is? Him doing squats with no weights wouldn't build up significant strength. Also a lot of these exercises you mention require good balance and when you have a major injury, it affects your balance.
He isn't going to build any mass doing biking or stairmaster.
Well, as I stated in my post, whenever you go through a major injury, you will need complete rest for a period of time. With a shoulder surgery that puts him out at least 4months, I would assume the first 2months will be complete rest after which he'll start rehab.
As for building mass, you can do about a million exercises and say this or that is better for it, it's all BS. You will grow your muscles from nutrition. He needs to eat, eat and eat if getting bigger is the objective.
I broke my collarbone last summer, the first, and hopefully last, bone I ever broke. I know it is one of the most painful bones to fracture from what I've read, and I couldn't put any type of pressure on it for about 2months. The first two weeks, it was a pain just to run, but as it got better, I could definitely exercise my lower body.
So after Eller's shoulder becomes a little better, I don't see why he wouldn't be able to start working on his lower region.
As far as air squats or lunges not building any type of sustainable strength, you're simply wrong. Do 400m of walking lunges or 200-1000 squats and then come tell me it doesn't strengthen you. Not only do they make you stronger, but as you said, they improve balance and also, agility and coordination, which are key neurological skills for hockey players.
As for leg curls, extensions and pulley kicks, they aren't as effective, but can still be done if need be.
You can do some sled pulling, where you simply drag a sled with weights on it and it will reinforce your legs. There's a lot of things you can do.
Didn't know it was a joke. You've been a member for 5years, I don't think I have to tell you how much crap gets posted here.
Then again, I'm hungover, so maybe that's why I missed it..

I agree, and Eller is a strong, young kid.
I highly doubt it will take him the entire 6 months. I say he will be around the 4 month span.
Go Tampa and San Jose lol... I want Vancouver to choke still.
I was just thinking this. I was wondering if the rest of you feel the exact same way as me.
I'm dreadful for the Canucks winning the cup. It wouldn't bother me that much if the Bruins won but the way the rest of the Montreal fanbase would react, would probably make it unbearable around here. The Bergeron injury really sucks in that they will lack depth vs the west.
I guess its time to put all hope on SJ and Tampa even though I think both are significant dogs.

And Halak sure was healty all season trying to play more than 60 games for the first time and was so great.
Love the over reaction
Every player can be injured , it's part of the game. Difference is Halak didn't have any injurie history...Eller was a "risk player", PG took the chance with Eller and it looks like he lost his gamble.
@ Bruins fans.
