about 1 month ago: St. Louis Blues' T.J. Oshie gets past Atlanta Thrashers' Pavel Kubina, of the Czech Republic, in the second period of an NHL hockey game Thursday, Oct. 8, 2009, in St. Louis.(AP Photo/Tom Gannam)

As Hildy noted in the FanPosts earlier, the Post-Dispatch's Jeremy Rutherford is reporting tweeting that T.J. Oshie underwent an emergency appendectomy last night and will obviously be out indefinitely. No idea on how long these things brew before surgery is required or if it was the result of an injury, but details will surely follow soon.

Oshie's game is predicated on a certain fearless energy and reckless abandon whenever he's on the ice, something that has been missing a bit lately. Hopefully his recovery is quick and that his normal up-tempo game returns at the same time.

WHAT THE FUCK??

Didn’t this happen to somebody last year too?

Look I'm sure youre a nice person and everything but that Redwings jersey you're wearing makes me want to cave your face in with my fist...it's not you it's me and the fact that you're a fucking Redwings fan

Mason.

He missed two weeks.

Mace's surgery

was about 53 weeks ago. Weird.

How many guys go down a year with an appendix? And now the Blues have two in almost exactly a year.

Injury bug, I curse you. Go away.

but

that mason thing happened at his low point, and after recoverery it didnt take him long to suplant legace and go on to have his best season ever. not sure we should expect the same from ohie but we certainly can hope for the same.

Well

Unless we resign Legace and then make Oshie a goalie I agree we shouldn’t expect the same. But yeah im definatly hoping for that to happen as well.

by Icion on Oct 24, 2009 3:53 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

apparently

if legace’s agent tells the blues legace wants another try, we will fire bishop and give him an ahl job

d’oh!

Is there ever a good time for an emergency appendectomy?

I suppose it’s better to happen in October than March.
So who do we bring up?
Sastny?
I read he was the R-men’s best player so far.

by briandunne on Oct 24, 2009 12:42 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

nobody

king will probably play.. we could call yan up but right now i dont think we need to.. and i think if we do call anyone up itll be armstrong before itll be stastny

yeah

i dont think its a big deal though.. hes not gonna play anyway.. if he gets called up hes gonna be a healthy scratch more times than not.. especially with as good as janssen is playin and now that king is ready i think hes gonna play for a while

Well Teej . . .

now we know why you’ve sucked out loud for the first month or so. No offense . . . .

Get well soon, Teej.

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

by Donut King on Oct 24, 2009 1:30 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Exactly: no offense

that’s been the problem!

You know, other than this appendix thing. Get better soon, Yoshie!

Maybe TJ will have the same kind of 2nd half as Mason had last year

They rushed Mason back from his cuz Manny got Palin carpeted, and Bishop almost got hurt too maybe Oshie will be masonish when hes fully recovered

off subject...

anyone know who’s starting tonight?

by Geaux Blues on Oct 24, 2009 2:28 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Conk

It wouldn’t stun me if the Blues did make a call up, and it also wouldn’t suprirse me if it was Eller instead of Yan or Armstrong, simply because Eller wouldn’t have to pass through waivers to return to the Peoria.

"To the Peoria"

ugh. To the Rivermen

Funny, that's probably how Eller would say it.

“I’ll not have to pass the waivers to go back to the Peoria, yah! "

Reports coming out of St. Louis claim

that immediately following the procedure Oshie came out of sedation and beat the shit out of it and stitched himself up so he wouldn’t miss stick and puck that night

That sucks

Teej seemed to be back banging and playing his game against the Wild. I’m sure RIck Nash is sighing with relief.

Some days its just not worth chewing through the restraints

PFFFT

Recovery time is only 3ish weeks? We still have 5 weeks till our first CBJ game.

When you're waking up in the middle of the night

in a cold sweat with visions of Teej about to rock your world, it’s a relief to know he’s on the shelf for awhile.

Just trying to find a balance

Plus, that one was way too easy… I thought girlying this place up would be a challenge. Kiiinda disappointed, not gonna lie.

So does this mean both bash bros. will be on the ice tonight?

would they put Cam and DJ on the same line?

Miklasz tweets:

“Blues estimate that TJ Oshie will be out for two weeks while recovering from appendectomy.”

Sometimes, I wonder why hockey came south of St. Louis, and then I realize, I'm south of St. Louis. Coincidence, I think not.

by Will in STL on Oct 24, 2009 5:52 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I just heard on HNIC

that some NHL player played 3 days after an appendectomy. yikes…

Mary had a chicken, Tommy had a duck, lets put them on a table to see if they would ... fall off.

My hard core award goes to...

The PIT player last year who played while passing a kidney stone. Fuck, I about passed out reading that shit.
