Ethan K says:
Yikes. Let’s hope our shoulder specialist is really good at his job. He’s got a lot (caution: lame joke…) resting on his shoulders.

Park Must Go says:
awful news… At least Dustin Kohn is playing solid defense with the big boys.

Examiner says:
And the hits just keep on coming…

what else is new?

Jim M says:
What is the extent of all these shoulder injuries and how much can it affect their progress and future? Right now we have our top 3 D prospects(not with the big club) out for their seasons. Not good…

All the more reason we need to trade all the vets.

beatlebailey says:
it is called Islanders luck…if you throw in the injury to the big goalie prospect we have 4 top prospects out…not good

Hay CB, Who chooses where CDH, Hamonic & Kaitc get the shoulders worked on? And with CHD and TH do the Isles pick up the bill for the procedures?

Scott VanVoorhees says:
last year was the year of the hip, this is the year of the shoulder, next will be the year of the funny bone!

Mario says:
Thank god they are still young. It would not be good if they were older.
-
Neil says:
I think we need bigger shoulder pads
-
Jim Clark says: Any reasons why? Bad luck? Wrong coaching techniques? History of drafting injury-prone players hoping the Islanders will get lucky? How does this compare to other teams?
-
Steven says:
Unreal. Why always the Islanders? Do guys not know how to check without injuring someone else? Is it because the players are bigger and faster? Do we need bigger rinks?

The Shoulder Boys (Katic, De Haan, Hamonic)
-
MJS says:
Well, at least they should all be better for training camp next year. Sucks that they’re missing out on some development time, though. Especially with DeHaan and Hamonic missing the playoffs in junior.

Blizzard says: …wow that sucks. I hope we have a good shoulder guy. Shoulder injuries can be serious.

“another one bites the dust uh”

Boss12 says:
DeHaan and Katic are very small still and are getting hit by giant guys day in and day out. Not really a huge surprise. Hamonic on the other hand got injured on a cheap shot.

Spartiarti-RVC says:
still early, plenty of time to recover. Shoulder injuries are quite common amongst hockey players.
-
RD says:
This franchise can’t catch a freaking break. Damn! Add Hillen, Witt, and Martinek to that group. What is with all our d-men getting hurt? This is 2 straight years.
Least they will be ready to go by training camp.

Mike L says:
Congratulations Mark Katic. You’re now officially an Islander.

AJAX says:
i better dust off my skates, at this rate any of us may be called to play

“as strong NYI defense prospects who have had their seasons derailed by shoulder injuries.”
Well, at this point, “strong” from below the shoulder, anyway.

jeff says:
tonight is going to be ugly
-
Does Park have video of Gordon doing the Beanpot Shuffle naked or something? Maybe someone else should decide on the line-ups and lines.
-
the bomber says:
lets hope they use the Mets doctors for these guys….
Well the plus side of this, the Islanders have 3 solid defense prospects. Glass is half full ya know?
