theisdog Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=89016 Makes me wonder how this wasn't diagnosed earlier. I can only assume its from the injury that has kept him out most the games this season. Quote
as15 Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 http://undhockey.are...es.com/?p=89016 Makes me wonder how this wasn't diagnosed earlier. I can only assume its from the injury that has kept him out most the games this season. Brad's twitter post said it was the same knee injury as before. Quote
theisdog Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 But now its 6-8 weeks which means they were really pushing it to play him earlier. I figured the Medical staff would be able to diagnose it better and make the determination that he shouldn't have been playing. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 So others have to step up. What's new? Quote
ticklethetwine Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Hey, I love the Sioux team a great deal and I support them up or down but perhaps this is just a down year. I think it pretty save to say it will be a battle just to make the final five let alone the NCAA tourney. Not impossible just real difficult. The next month or so will tell. Lets start it out right this weekend boys. Time to get it done. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 {reposted from another thread} Please don't try to second-guess the pros (like Poolman). I'm sure they were trying to rehab the problem and it just isn't working. Show a little faith and trust people ... it is Rocco after all, and I'm sure he does. Quote
theisdog Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 The intent of my post was mostly to say "THIS SUCKS, CANT WE CATCH A GOOD BREAK". Just watched Rocco's interview about what the injury is. Unfortunate for the kid. Hope it fully heals for him. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Breaks are what you make of them. Quote
as15 Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Watching this video makes me want to watch Rocco even more, it gets me excited when he emphatically says, "I haven't even been close to 100% this year". He was the best player on the ice in parts of the Minnesota game, I can't wait to see what he can do when he is 100%. Quote
as15 Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Also this injury could be more than 6-8 weeks. He is going to rest for that time period and after that, if it is not healthy, he will need surgery. He doesn't say in the video how long he would be out if surgery is needed. Quote
GFG Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Also this injury could be more than 6-8 weeks. He is going to rest for that time period and after that, if it is not healthy, he will need surgery. He doesn't say in the video how long he would be out if surgery is needed. In Schlossmans story Rocco says that if he has the surgery it's season ending. The doctors told him that he could have it right now and it would be season ending but he said that he wants to try play again this year. So if it isn't better by then he will be done for the season Quote

sioux24/7 Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 So could he get a medical hardship or redshirt or whatever? I don't know if he will be staying all four years but just wondering? Quote
bigskyvikes Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Thats the best part about Rocco, super college player, maybe to small to leave early, red shirt would be good if he cant go. Im a little selfish but "just win baby"! Quote
squirtcoach Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Breaks are what you make of them. I guess I'm in it for the long haul. I counted 12 forwards that Hak has had to replace from last year, including graduates, early signings, clearinghouse problems, defections, and injuries. This means we are more than reloading. The half full glass is that we are going to get some badly need experience this year. That is a good thing. The half empty glass is that we will be taking some lumps as we get that experience. I look forward to a growing year, and hope this team can steal enough close games to position themselves for the NCAAs and make some noise in March. But you never know. That 1996-1997 team was a year or two out from winning it all. But they surprised a lot of teams in March AND April. Quote

GFG Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 i'm not sure if grimaldi can apply for a medical redshirt now, I think they're too far into the season. It would be very close at this point but if he wants to come back and figures out he cant and then gets the surgery there is no chance he gets a medical red shirt. I could be wrong, I thought it had to be in the first 1/3 games of the teams schedule, but maybe it's if the player gets injured for the year while playing in 1/3 or less of the teams games. Maybe someone can pull up the rule? Quote
talksalot83 Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I believe that if this injury ends in surgery and the end of the season he would be eligible for a medical hardship redshirt. Quote
Big A HG Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 We're saving our breaks til the end. Quote
burd Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Tough luck the team has been having. But I don't think I'm just trying to be the eternal optimist when I think this will strengthen the team in the long run. With Grimaldi out, other players know they will have to up their game even more. If they develop a mindset that they have to outhustle to win, then, with the load of talent the Sioux have in the freshman class and others, including St. Claire, coming in next year, the future could look very good. This year isn't over yet either. If they can stay in the hunt and get Grimaldi well, they could be dangerous come Feb. Not much margin for error now, though. Quote
squirtcoach Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 that team did not start out 3-6-1 either. they got off to a great start and never really had a down stretch the whole season. It was a magical season and the boys had all the luck fall their way. The Fighting Sioux are due for another season like that. But if it doesn't happen this year, I know the tribulations encountered this year will leave them better set for next year. Quote
