Where are you guys reading that about Rippy? I just read on buffzone it was just a sprained knee:

nope - to late in season
Im guessing they will get an mri and we'll know for sure. Sprain knee might be the preliminary diagnosis, hopefully its the final one for both these guys.
winnable :huh:
I really have no idea but they were elevating his knee and icing it directly after the injury. I know they would do that for a sprain, would they for an ACL injury?
They did when I tore mine but that was years ago, deal with it much better these days. I didnt see them doing much but if they grab his heel and start wiggling it a bit to check for looseness in the knee, thats not good. I didnt read anything in regards to Rippy that wasnt posted here, I was just talking about what it looked like when he got hurt. All speculation right now. It very well could just be a sprain, fingers crossed.
a sprain is technically a minor tear... when the ligament is stretched the fibrous tissue of the ligaments tends to tear slightly... it something that usually heals on its own over time... a complete tear obviously is a catastrophic injury in which the ligament in question is ruptured or torn clean through will not heal on its on... or not well enough to be functional and requires season ending surgery

Wouldn't you ice both conditions to keep down swelling?
yep the RICE protocol is encouraged for both... plus until the swelling goes down its hard to diagnose and you cannot perform the surgery if needed

Hurricanes and orthopedics--BCS will surprise you from time-to-time.
I wasn't surprised. Expect the unexpected when it comes to BCS.
and from time to time international relations and global security

Don't push it. You tend to be a little parochial on those matters. Can't you just be happy for the other two?

Until that happened, expectations were different. See?

Correct. Sprain = tear. There are different degrees of sprains, ranging from minor tear to completely severing a ligament.
Icing/elevation - used for any injury that would cause inflammation/swelling. It reduces pain and tissue destruction associated with the trauma of the injury. Used for ligament tears, broken bones, contusions, etc.
