I kind of agree! The fans should be informed of what injuries are occurring most so that they can prevent injuries to their friends, families or teammates/players. I think the same thing with all sports, professional and with kids. Look at all the kids playing baseball getting Tommy John surgery, it is crazy!

kuch?

not all teams would tell the truth all the time. so under the phoney guise of telling the truth, I'd just settle for what they say now....virtually nothing

He is back in few days. That is also why i didnt put Crawford there.

Longer term injuries.

they used to only do this at playoff time, even then it was annoying.

They do this because they don't want the other teams to use the injury to their advantage in the future.

if they publicly announced specifics of injuries then d***heads like matthew tkachuk and alex burrows would target those areas

The last two responses hit the nail on the head. Ive played a lot of hockey in my life and whether the players will admit it or not any information they have will be used. If you know someone has a separated right shoulder you will make sure you finish every check on them. This includes hits that a borderline penalties. If someones ankle is sore it will be targeted by slashes. Teams don't release too much information because they don't want teams to target their players.
The thing that bothers me is early in the season when injuries are less important and they still don't give out information.
