farce poobah Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Everybody say a prayer for Derrick tonight and tomorrow. I have a feeling it will have to be a long way back for him. He's really improved, and has been a big part of why opponents haven't been able to get pressure on us. Good positioning, good first pass, good hands. Get well soon. A lot of people are wishing you well. Quote
sioux rube Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Prayer has been sent as I will be doing it again before I hit the hay.That was just terrible to watch.Get well Derrick. Quote
patatoe Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 One of the ways I measure a defenseman is how little I notice him. LaPointe has been invisible for awhile. He will be missed. Get well. All of Sioux Nation is thinking of you. Quote
Chuck Schwartz Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Good luck Derrick. Everyone in Eau Claire is rooting for you. Quote
nodak hockey fanatic Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 horrible to see. hope there isn't alot of ligament damage to go along with an obviously shattered ankle. take your time, let it heal, can't wait to see you back on the ice (which will most likely be next season some time). the fighting sioux family all have you in our prayers... i said last night after the missed cfb call that bruess would hurt someone with his reckless play, unfortunately i was right GET WELL SOON #3!!

808287 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Mr. LaPoint, All the best for a full and solid recovery. We're all pulling for you. Keep the faith, work hard, and good things will happen. Prayers on their way. Quote
Chuck Schwartz Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 It sounds as if it's broken in 2 places. Lets hope the damage is limited to that. Quote
Sioux-cia Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Praying for a perfect, fast heal!!! We're gonna miss you on the ice but you're worth waiting for!! Quote
Big A HG Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 It was nice to see him standing on his own with a cast in the tunnel after the game. Hope all turns out better than it looked. Derrick is the man (he's from Wisconsin! How can he not be???) Quote
wsdSIOUXfalls Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you for a thorough recovery! You have more people pulling for you than you'll ever know!!! Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 It was nice to see him standing on his own with a cast in the tunnel after the game. Hope all turns out better than it looked. Derrick is the man (he's from Wisconsin! How can he not be???) I wish that was him, but that was Hexy. He had the boot on after getting hit by a puck last night. Hak said LaPoint was up in the hospital. Quote
Big A HG Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I wish that was him, but that was Hexy. He had the boot on after getting hit by a puck last night. Hak said LaPoint was up in the hospital. Really, I couldn't tell from across the rink, I thought it was Derrick, my bad. Quote
redwing77 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I wish that was him, but that was Hexy. He had the boot on after getting hit by a puck last night. Hak said LaPoint was up in the hospital. When he's taken off on a stretcher, he won't be back. That usually means the hospital and that's not a short ordeal with that injury. I'd suspect he's headed eventually to the Operating Room. I hope he does it, if it is called for, ASAP. Quote
Goon Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I am sadden with the loss of Derrick LaPoint, he will be missed. Get well soon Goonster. Quote
brianvf Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Speedy recovery Derrick. Hope to see you on the ice in October! Quote
The Walrus Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Derrick, Good luck and get well soon. We need you back in the Sioux uniform. Thoughts are with you ! Quote
sioux7>5 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Sorry to see this happen to you Derrick. Get Well soon and know that there are a lot of people praying for you. Quote
Shawn-O Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 All the best for a speedy and full recovery, Derrick! You will be missed. Quote
Siouxmama Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Get well soon Derrick! We love having you out there on the ice and are going to miss you. We will see you out there again in October. Until then, my prayers are with you and I wish you a full and speedy recovery. Quote
YaneA Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I wish you a speedy recovery, Pointer. Heal fast. I look forward to seeing you back on the ice again soon. Quote
jk Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Good luck to Derrick. He has a few things going for him in the healing process. 1) He's young. 2) He's incredibly fit, with robust circulation. Blood is the healer, and his body will keep it flowing better than yours or mine would (well, mine anyway). Quote
