Getzlaf has hernia surgery

July 29th, 2009, 12:46 pm · 16 Comments · posted by Curtis Zupke, Staff writer

Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf underwent sports hernia surgery Wednesday, the team announced.

Getzlaf aggravated what had been a minor ailment during summer workouts and surgery was recommended after a recent MRI exam, according to the team.

It is not believed to have occurred during the regular season or playoffs nor been an issue during that time.

Getzlaf is expected to be ready for training camp in September.

The procedure was performed by Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia.

    Let’s hope he’s ready 100% and not having to play with that injury lingering throughout the season.

  • CK says:

    Gosh Getz, if I didn’t know better, I’d thought you were twice your age. Hernia surgery, bald spot… Well, hope you get better soon!

    • ClippinWings says:

      That’s more than a Blad SPOT.

      Getz is about | | <—this close to needing to just go the Messier route and Bic his whole damn head.

  • Ducked Up! says:

    I guess Getzy will miss out on Canada’s Olympic camp in August.

  • Norm & Cliffie says:

    Fernando cries, “Waahhhh….”

    There is no proof except in your mind that Getzlaf is a cheap shot artist. Like most physical hockey players, he’s had his share of borderline hits, but in no way does he have a reputation in the league for being dirty.

    Back up what you say and prove it. Prove that he has this reputation amongst NHL players and management, by showing us some links and comments from players, coaches, GMs, etc. That’s right, you can’t.

  • ClippinWings says:

    Flu My Ass!

  • Norm & Cliffie says:

    You obviously care, otherwise you wouldn’t have made the comment in the first place Fartnando.

    Anyone who isn’t biased against the Ducks knows Getzlaf isn’t a high-hitting cheap shot puck, the proof is on the ice.

    And you can’t prove it, otherwise you would do it and wouldn’t be so defensive about having to provide the proof instead of making comments about where your head is stuck.

  • Norm & Cliffie says:

    You obviously care, otherwise you wouldn’t have made the comment in the first place, and you wouldn’t keep commenting about it.

    Anyone who isn’t biased against the Ducks knows Getzlaf isn’t a high-hitting cheap shot puck, the proof is on the ice.

    And you can’t still can’t prove he is a cheap shot, otherwise you would do it and wouldn’t be so defensive about having to provide the proof instead of making comments about where your head is stuck.

  • Norm & Cliffie says:

    Again with the comments on my name. Thanks for showing you care so much. And this coming from someone who [b]STOLE HIS NAME FROM AN ABBA SONG![/b] Hahahahahahaha!

    And there sure is something in the air tonight. Whatever you’re smoking is clearly distorting your already bitter, little mind. Your ramblings about Pronger, insults to Ducks fans, more name calling and now bringing in Hayward show that you are one irrational, deluded, twisted, sicko. Pronger is irrelevant (as is Hayward) to the accusation that you made about Getzlaf. You can’t [i][b]back up anything you write with facts[/b][/i], so you resort to insults. Niiiccceee piece of work you are.

    You have an opinion that is based on your blind hatred of the Ducks and Ducks players. You’ve let your biases and the purple and glittered colored glasses, red and white glasses with wings, or whatever colored glasses you wear blind you to reality.

    Here’s a dose of reality for you, and what real, respected hockey people think about Getzlaf.

    This is what Steve Yzerman (you know, one of the greatest captains and hockey players of the modern NHL age, and Team Canada’s executive director) says about Getzlaf:

    [i]Yzerman said seeing the player excel against Detroit’s top players such as Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk makes a big impression in his head. And Getzlaf has played well.

    “He was really good,” Yzerman said. “He had my attention before this season. The one thing that was good for me is I got to know him a little bit. I’d seen him play before, but I didn’t know the person. I got to know him, talk to him, [b]watch how he conducted himself and his presence. I was very impressed.[/b]“[/i]

    Yzerman also has said that he wants multi-dimensional players on the team who won’t put the team at risk. If Getzlaf is a cheap shot lacking in character, I doubt Yzerman would speak so highly of him. Gee, whose opinion should be valued more????? Steve Yzerman’s, or some sad, bitter little man, whose purpose in life it seems is to troll the message boards of a hockey team he hates????

    So you’ve got an opinion that you can’t back up with rationale thoughts or facts. Well, you know what they say about opinions: opinions are like the place where you have you head stuck, everyone has one.

  • Your Mom says:

    Please don’t feed the troll!!!
    I think he may be my son (recall troll Stefan from last year). Unfortunately I can no longer take his computer away as he is now living with my ex.
    I can tell you that both of them have brains as small as their… er…. can’t say that here!!!

  • Norm & Cliffie says:

    That’s the very definition of a troll.

    See, I knew you could provide proof when you wanted to.

    Good job troll.

  • Norm & Cliffie says:

    Obviously Fernando doesn’t know which Ducks are Norm & Cliffie are. Hint: the two are “named” after the characters on Cheers, but they are not those characters.

    P.S. IT IS your job to prove Getzlaf is a cheap shot; I don’t have to prove anything. The BURDEN OF PROOF is all on you because you made the accusation, not I.

    So again, that’s right, you can’t prove anything can you because it’s all in your delusional mind.

  • Norm & Cliffie says:

    There you go again Ferdy, commenting on my screen name once again, which no one (you) cares about, which isn’t a Cheers rip off, but an homage to two players who were a big part of the Ducks success over the last several years.

    And talk about pot-kettle-black…you accuse me of ripping off your posts, when you did that in your very first response to me. HYPOCRITE.

    Pronger has nothing to do with this because he has a much different reputation and history in the league than Getzlaf does. Keep on throwing out the canards, including insulting Ducks fans or the Ducks, because you can’t do anything else to back up what you say. This is all nothing but your opinion that in your addled, twisted, bitter mind is fact. Too bad for you fiction isn’t fact.

    You are THE TRUE IDIOT. Every one of your post proves this. The more you post, the more you prove it. HEY! You can prove things to be true, even it you aren’t trying to. Wonders.

  • Norm & Cliffie says:

    Ha! I never said I didn’t care, you were the one who said that you didn’t. And you cared enough to respond AGAIN. But you still can’t make a cogent rebuttal.

    U R stooopid.

    Is that short enough for your pea-sized ADHD mind to comprehend?

  • Norm & Cliffie says:

    The clinical definition of what you just wrote is called “projection.”

    What kind of sicko spends an inordinate amount of his time on a blog for a hockey team for which he has an irrational hatred and for the sole purpose of trolling and flaming? Maybe you should create some positive energy and go to where species of your ilk lurk, like under a bridge.

    Not only are you delusional, irrational and in a state of denial, you are a sociopath.

    Get. Help. Quick.
