Rostislav Olesz under the Surgeon’s Knife
The Florida Panthers official website has announced that F Rostislav Olesz has undergone a sports hernia surgery. The procedure took place in Philadelphia on the 28th of January. According to Panthers GM Jacques Martin the operation was successful and the player has now returned to South Florida for rehabilitation; which in turn is expected to take at least six weeks.
Rostislav Olesz signed a long term contract before this season, but his time has been hampered by poor form and niggling injuries. He was on the sidelines on IR for an extended period of time; before surgery was deemed necessary.
Olesz played in 23 games earlier this season, scoring two goals and providing 3 assists, whilst going -4 in the plus/minus statistics.
Now that the operation has been touted a success, fans will be hoping Rosti will be back – unhindered by injury – for a run; which might propel the Panthers to a first playoff appearance in several years.
Glad the surgery was successful. Now, who’s the healthy scratch for Olesz to play?
…hehe… what’s the name of that boy in the fourth line that leads us in minus stats…? I’m sure it’d be difficult even for an injured Olesz to do much worse than that!
Or am I being mean now?
Yes, now I think it’s starting to sound personal ! hehehe!!
Never!!
