Nothing turns my stomach to knots quite like knee injuries. Hope it’s not too serious and he has a swift and complete recovery.

[@crazylittlemonkey752]

I don't think that was his knee. It looked like he dislocated his hip or broke his pelvis. Although he could have hurt a knee for sure too.

[@finnotoole4982]

@@crazylittlemonkey752 also possibly a broken femur. Honestly that would be the best case due to the recovery time.

[@etch1634]

@@finnotoole4982 A broken Femur is 4-6 months for full recovery and at the minimum 3 months before you can continue your sports so its actually longer then a broken pelvis and dislocated Hip

[@etch1634]

@@crazylittlemonkey752 i agree i think he dislocated his hip maybe a broken tibia or fibula after slamming into the boards could’ve injured his ACL or dislocated his knee (if thats possible)

Fuck dude. I am not a Yotes fan, but I love this kid. Such a great player that does not get the recognition he deserves. That looked nasty. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

[@julien7337]

Won the game for Kells. I seriously hope he takes his sweet time letting that heal up because a leg injury can be devastating on a career

[@brendenrodgers7821]

Specially a femur fracture, which is what it looked like

[@finnotoole4982]

@@brendenrodgers7821 I recently broke my femur and it seriously looks like it. The visible pain he was in was similar to that of a femur fracture.

[@Hypertf-]

The game was already over tbh

[@bayareasportsfan04]

Yeah I was actually rooting for y'all to win it for him. Seriously hope for a quick return

[@thomasgagnon5358]

I pretty sure his season is over, so I think his return won't be too rushed

[@Real_McPhee]

I went into the boards in a similar way, fractured my right femur right in the middle. Surgery the next morning and a solid 9 months of recovery. What a brutal incident. Heard he had surgery already, hoping he can make a fully recovery from this fall.

[@glaxko2]

That looks like a broken femur. You can see his calf bending in an unnatural way. That is horrific.

[@ralliartstyle]

Omg….I hope he can still play in the future. My thoughts are with you man.

[@AWCTB]

Fortunately he’ll make a full recovery in 4-6 months according to the coyotes organization.

[@Jens95]

"Jens" could easily compile a compilation of injuries that required a stretcher just from this season alone. -Alyssa Hope

[@jamesterrio4765]

I'd argue alot of it is precautionary reasons, especially around head and neck injuries nowadays (compared to the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s). You know, guy gets taken off and a few hours later he's out the hospital and back at practice within a week or a few weeks. But this? Ain't no precaution on this one, this looked like it hurt, bad.

[@weeman1580]

Goodness gracious, hope for quick recovery. We’re on for career year. Prayers with ya Kel.

[@Krohnoh]

Love how Couture immediately called for the trainers. All the best to Kells from a Preds fan

[@j.r.puffinmaster73]

He's such an underrated player. Boards never give. Prayers for a quick recovery

[@dathaniel9403]

Makes you wonder whether changing the boards to have some give would be a good idea. Of course we can never remove all risk from hockey, we shouldn't bubble-wrap everything, but having these guys hit ultra-hard boards going 20+ mph causes so many injuries. Maybe just an inch or two of some kind of stiff but flexible material covering the boards all around, with a tough skin on top to keep it from getting ripped up.

[@seikoshinohara3084]

@@dathaniel9403 I get nervous literally every game seeing them speeding into the boards tangled up. This is way too common.

[@arya_moghadam]

When I watched the moment it happened, I felt so bad for Keller. Poor guy lost his balance in a terrible spot. I really hope he gets well soon. From a Sharks fan

[@madiabrams]

i was there. there were people telling abt the refs being blind but obviously the sharks didn’t have anything to do with it really.

[@rockerseven]

One thing I love about hockey players is the moment someone is injured, everything stops for the players on both teams and the main concern is getting help for the one who was injured (note, the Sharks player was actually the first to signal for help)

[@daveskro3816]

From the coyotes INJURY UPDATE: Coyotes forward Clayton Keller suffered a leg injury in the third period of tonight’s game vs. San Jose. Keller has been transported to a local hospital for further evaluation. The Coyotes will provide an update on his status tomorrow.

[@SelvigLemma]

Update: Keller had surgery on his fractured leg, and is done for the season.

[@AzHockeyFan]

Oh my god.. sending prayers for Keller..

[@user-ux3hu6ij6z]

waayyyyy too many stretchers this year.... It was already too many when 1 team has seen it 3 times this year (Chicago) but it seems to be a more common thing this season

[@ethansucksatcuphead]

[@SunnyNight]

I hope it’s like a hyper-extension or something else that won’t keep him out of the game for a while. No matter the team, it’s always hard to watch a player get hurt and stretchered off the ice Except for Tom Wilson, he can get railed and I’d cheer.

Hate seeing falls like that. Very similar to the one that Kevin Fiala had. Figured it was the leg or femur when he was holding his thigh like that. Long recovery but should be able to get back to 100% like Fiala did.
