Couture had ankle injury, needed a shot every game to play as well. But Couture quick to say didn't affect his performance. No excuse.

I don't know if there was a drop in play at all.

Will be interested to hear about Havlat.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Vlasic is my hero.

 

[Gilligans Island]

Will be interested to hear about Havlat.

Not really. It's probably a partially torn groin. Anything less will seal his fate if it hasn't been already.

I'm more interested in other players.

But... But... I am interested to know!

My guess is we'll hear the full litany on Thursday.

 

[Alwalys]

Havlat should have been the first thing out of the org's mouth. His injury was bar none the biggest reason we lost.

Yup sprained ankle.

 

[RainbowDash]

sounds like couture needed something to keep the swelling down.

Is that clean out day?

 

[LadyStanley]

Is that clean out day?

My guess. Usually give the staff a day at home to prep for exit interviews.

Not that I wish to derail this thread, but this phenomenon has always been (to me) a much bigger issue in sports than steroids.

You have an injury. Your body is telling you it's hurt. That it cannot go any further Your pain is so great that you physically cannot do what you used to be able to do normally. Your natural human body is not healthy enough to be effective. Yet thanks to the miracle of unnatural drugs that clearly enhance your performance, you are able to ignore that natural warning and push your body past its healthy limits, risking even greater injury and more permanent damage.

I don't know what the solution is. I don't know where the appropriate line should be. But someone who is physically unable to compete unless they are pumped full of drugs is--again, to me--a far more serious and prevalent problem facing athletes today than anything involving HGH or steroids.

Yeah it kind of sounds like PEDs. I mean any type of painkiller is a PED, technically.

Not that I mind, I think PEDs should be mandatory.

Ouch and he was playing his best hockey all year.

He really was. I honestly feel a little better about Burish now than I did going into the playoffs. He's still not a great hockey player, but if we can get a fourth line that actually has a niche, like Sheppard-Burish-Desjardins, as opposed to Burish-Gomez-Kennedy or whatever hodgepodge of cluster**** is left over from the rest of the lines, then I'm not as upset about Burish.

So much respect for Burish. Not even letting the stitches dry out and hes back on the ice.

One game, really.
