RPI @ SCSU, Friday 12/28/12

Addendum-just read the wonderful article posted as a link by Turk on the RPI@SCSU thread. Coach SA says the shoulder came out (i am guessing dislocation). It makes me think that Kasdorf has suffered this kind of injury before and has somewhat of a loose capsule encasing the shoulder. Hopefully it is just one loose ligament and the should was put back in place quickly. This could be the kind of thing that just sits him out a week or two and after some rest a little strengthening and conditioning of that part of the shoulder and he is good to go. If this recurs-then you have to think about some sort of surgical intervention to tighten up the shoulder girdle. That can be curative-or it could be a mess. Some athletes have shoulder surgery and return to 100% (some actually even return as far better than they ever were) but more often than not, they are never quite the same. Most notably in baseball with pitchers where the shoulder has to have the flexibility to move baackward to an absurd angle to get the leverage necessary to throw 90+mph-you can fix an elbow, you can Tommy John a guy, but opening the shoulder can just end his career. Not being a gaolie-and never having seen the surgery on one-I just do not know how important shoulder movement is to them. SA would probably know far more about this having been a goalie than I would. I had my shoulder surgeries later in life but can attest that my range of motion has been severely compromised(but as long as i can lift a martini glass I am not complaining).

Good to get a physician's perspective on this. Shoulder mobility is important to a goaltender: those quick movements upward and, often, back (to block a high shot on the blocker side or to snare a shot with the glove hand) are made repeatedly, and then there are the sprawling saves along the ice, not to mention the number of times a forward plows you back into the net. Watching a goalie during an intense practice session it almost looks like repeated efforts to throw his shoulder out. Hope Kasdorf's situation isn't too serious. Do we know which shoulder it was?

That is an extremely odd and non commital type statement. Certainly it is typical of the medical reports we get-releasing absolutely nothing. If he is probably OK for tonight-then I have no reason to even suspect a dislocation let alone anything like a separation or even sprain or strain. As usual-remains to be seen.

SA said similar ambiguous comments in the pregame interview. :)

My experience with shoulders has been of course with my own-but also in practice over the years with athletes in sports other than hockey. You point out some very important aspects of playing goal and the importance of healthy shoulders to do it effectively. Let's hope this is all precautionary for Kasdorf. The kid is no doubt a big part of our next few years and every report on him has him as having great potential.

When he left the ice he was hanging his right arm much lower than the left.

Whatever happened to the dreaded second period???
Click to expand...

That was a term i used years ago after i discovered how badly we were getting outscored during the second period for years.

We have since adapted it for the first and sometimes the third period as needed.
