Sharks' Torrey Mitchell Out Eight Weeks
San Jose Sharks center Torrey Mitchell sustained a complete non-displaced Tibia/Fibula fracture (two lower leg bones) in a practice session this morning according to Sharks Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Wilson. The injury is commonly known as a Tib-Fib or Boot Top fracture.

Team Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Arthur Ting will perform a surgical procedure this evening to repair the injury.

The time frame for Mitchell’s return to the ice is approximately eight weeks

OUCH!! That's gotta hurt.

edit: Just spoke to my wife, the nurse (at least that's how she dresses up when I ask nice), and she said that 8 weeks is optimistic and it could be the whole season. She said that even non-displaced this a very painful, tough injury and "there's a reason they shoot animals who break their legs ike this."

Ouch. Real bad news for the Sharks and Mitchell. Hopefully he recovers quickly. It'll depend on how bad those fractures were, but 8 weeks sure seems like a quick estimated recovery time for such a severe injury.

Is this some bad karma being played out here - wasn't Mitchell the guy who nearly ended Kurtis Foster's career last spring? Tough break!

My thoughts exactly... couldn't have happened to a better guy!

Still a bit bitter about the Foster situation, but it does suck to see a guy have to go through this. Best of luck in the recovery.
