Thinking we "should" be getting updates today for both Ryan & Connor? If/when anyone hears anything, please let us all know.
Thanks & Roll Along

Listening to Bergeron on the Coach's Show right now. Ryan Carpenter still has two pins in his finger, but they should come out in a week. The very earliest he would be back is Ferris, but this is probably wishful thinking at best. Connor Kucera is fine, according to Bergeron. He never lost consciousness, which was a key factor. All in all, good news!

GO FALCONS!!
SWEEP THE MAVS...er....DUH mavs!!

It is "possible" Carpenter can play this weekend, but not likely. According to coach, post show, he is going to try to practice with the pins still in, tomorrow, but will probably wait another week.

I would much rather he wait until he's 100% before he comes back. There's is no reason for him to rush back and risk further injury.

100% agree!! He'll make an impact when he gets back in the games. And in the mean time, others are doing exactly what they should be doing! They're taking advantage of the opportunity given to them!!

GO FALCONS!!
BEAT DUH mavs!!! (...wow, it feels weird saying that again..... )

GOOD NEWS! BEAT THE BULLDOGS!

Carpenter is out. Broke his foot in practice. Posted on the BGSU Hockey FB site.

With the unfortunate injury to Carpenter I wonder if the Coaching staff is now potentially thinking about a medical redshirt.

Since he's only a junior, that won't be a question that can even be asked until after he's well into his senior season. The NCAA doesn't even consider medical redshirts until the player is in his final year (and toward the end of that year, as well).

What a damn shame. How does a guy just coming off an injury end up having another major injury like that basically on his first day back to practice? That's freakish.

Thanks for the info. I guess I thought you could medical red shirt any year if you were hurt and had to sit out, what a bummer given it has to be the final year. A lot of student-athletes could have benefitted from the other.

It doesn't have to be an injury during the senior year. The NCAA won't rule on the medical redshirt until the student-athlete is in their senior year. He could be awarded a medical redshirt next year, as could Sloat.

Seeing as this is the second broken foot in a month, I'm thinking it may be time to look for a different skate manufacturer.
