Markov went down and punched his fist against the boards in frustration on November 13, 2010, when he awkwardly collided with Eric Staal in an effort to clear the puck out of the defensive zone. Just about every Habs supporter including fans and media alike have held their collective breaths on the verdict of how long Markov may be out as a result of re-tweaking his already surgically operated knee.
Now, two days since the incident, the range of so-called diagnoses spread over the internet, blogs and twitter is now just boarding on beyond ridiculous:
Markov out 3 months?
Markov out 8 months?
Markov out for the season?
Markov expected to be out 12 months?
Like really, I am not sure when everyone got their degree in orthopedic surgery but can the fans and media put a sock in it and wait until we hear something official from someone who actually spent some time in medical school?
If the injury is as bad as it looks, and how "bad it looks" is based solely on the fact that Markov put absolutely no pressure on his right leg as he was helped off the ice, the guy's knee is probably as swollen as a grapefruit. And how do I know? I've had 2 surgically repaired ACL's and the meniscus sewn up in each knee. Thank you Dr. Lenczner.
My MRI happened a week after the initial injury to my right knee - why? Cause an MRI is completely useless if the area examined is swollen. You can't see jack sh*t.
So why don't we all take a deep breath, chill out and wait until we get some answers either from Dr. David Mulder or Dr. Eric Lenczner as relayed vaguely to us by Jacques Martin.
Until then, let's talk about how Colin Campbell can't do his job with integrity.
