“It’s one thing after the other.” | Jason Dickinson Practice 11.17.25

How many different injuries has it been? Like I know it’s the wrist and then like maybe shoulder this year. Yeah. This will be the third different injury now this calendar year I guess. Yeah. Yeah. So it’s easy if it’s the same thing to be like well we just got to get that right. But it’s one thing after the other and I can’t seem to figure that out. Has it been hard trying to find the balance between wanting to push through it but not wanting to reagravate it? Yeah. Yeah. That’s exactly what happened. Uh the last three games, I can’t remember. It was LA, Ottawa, Winnipeg. I probably shouldn’t have played in hindsight, um if I’m being honest, but you know, I hate just sitting here watching. Um if I feel like I can compete, then I want to go out there. And I did feel like I could, but looking back on it now, you know, the way I feel currently, it it definitely was something that I should have been a little bit more cautious with at that point. Um, and after the Winnipeg game, I just like I was totally beat. There was no way I could keep going. So, um, I just pushed it too far that it kind of gave up on me. Flick you out. You feel is really into your leadership now more than ever. Um, I don’t want to say yes because I I I like the guys that we’ve got. You know, there’s nobody that uh I feel can’t handle this. Um, Blossy gets a chance to step up as the leader that he is. Bedsy gets a chance to step up as a leader. Um, Frank as well too, you know. Uh, so there’s a lot of guys in here that can take that responsibility and kind of gives them the chance, forced into it because two of us are hurt, but um, I would love to be out there to kind of give a maybe a sense of calmness, maybe somebody that the coaches can look to and things aren’t going right. But uh you know watching as of right now I’m I’m pretty confident with the group moving forward as is if if I uh I’m not ready. How impressive is just the leadership you’ve seen from the young guys? Yeah it’s it’s not even necessarily the leadership in terms of uh speaking up and and being vocal. They’re being leaders in their game. Um taking control, demanding the play, demanding the puck. Um Frank uh in particular seen a big step and and Connor the the two of them they’ve definitely taken on their shoulders to say I’m going to win games for us uh night after night. So that that sort of leadership has been nice to see because it’s growing what’s going to determine um me. I’m going to be the final determination of that. Um, I’ve spoken with the doctors, the trainers, and they’re all confident with where I’m headed and uh my feeling and how how my body is moving really and how it’s responding. So, I feel really good, but uh last week I wasn’t confident uh to to not go out there and reinjure it again cuz I was saying just earlier uh I came back for a few games, got hurt, came back for a few games, I got hurt. I don’t want to keep doing that. It’s uh it’s hard on me, it’s hard on the group. It’s not fair to anybody to do that. So, uh, I got to make sure that I’m at a point where when I come back, I’m going to be back for good. And this isn’t going to be something that I got to keep, uh, monitoring.
