[stevestevens]

Sucks

[stevestevens]

I want to cry

He's hopefully back then by early in the 2015 season, at least he's not likely going to miss most of it. 

But given our track record with actual DL stays, who knows at this point?

 

Just need them to continue to push through as they have all season.

Come on wade LeBlanc!!

Onward

He'll be back in late June. He has to heal up and then get in game shape.

Patellar tendon is better than an ACL/MCL tear as far as heal time.

Ledge looks mighty tempting

[stevestevens]

He'll be back in late June. He has to heal up and then get in game shape.

That would make it almost 11 months..... Hopefully early may at the latest

Bad, but it could have been worse. At least we'll have him back next year.

Patellar tendon tear is complicated because he will not even be able to walk for several weeks.  Rehab is long and painful.

 

If he tore his ACL instead, he'd have surgery next week, be walking by week's end, and return to athletics at 6 months (assuming he had patellar tendon graft).
