The trainers' quote is concerning. I really hope it's not a tear.
So how long till they give Mathieu Garon a call back?
Quote:
Lombardi was not sure if the injury was to Quick’s groin. Of course, everything is speculation until the test results come back.
“We’re not going to know until the MRI,” Lombardi said. “Obviously, it didn’t look good. The trainers told me walking out [last night] it was not good. They don’t know until they get in there and find out what it is ... nobody knows.”

What I got from that : "if the guys had done their jobs and beaten this bottom feeding team, instead of letting them hang around and force overtime, and then scored on the OT powerplay right before the injury, we wouldn't be having this conversation!"
...slams phone down. /sarcasm
Quick expected to likely be out for "more then a couple of weeks" as of 3:30pm pst.
Unfortunately that could've happened at any time since that game was so slow for him. He had like ten shots and ice and cold tightens up the muscles already. Truthfully, if we hadn't scored then there would've been no overtime so is that better? I hate to lose a point but I'd do it if it meant Quick isn't injured long term.
*headdesk*
We're really starting to run up a tab...Quick, Greene, Carter, Stoll, Clifford...glad we have the kids to step in, but any more injuries puts us at like critical mass.

Time to acquire a defenseman.
Time to acquire a defenseman.
Time to acquire Ryan Miller from Buffalo.
Coburn, Niskanen, Meszaros, Goligsoki, B. Stuart, Scuderi, Mcquaid, Orpik. . . Lets get one of these guys.
Maybe we can trade Frattin back for Bernier.

So many Kings regulars dropping like flies reminding me of the 98-99 Kings who suffered through a rash of injuries and missed the playoffs by 9 points. That year, the Kings lost both of their top two goalies, Fiset and Storr, to groin injuries, they lost their top defenseman in Rob Blake, and also lost two of their top three forwards (Stumpel and Murray) to injuries.
Thus far they've already lost Quick, Carter, Greene, Stoll and Clifford to injuries, and the season is still young and we also have an Olympic break coming in February, which could be a blessing or a curse, depending on what happens to Kings' players who do participate in the Olympics.

I was thinking about this today too. The difference is we have better depth in the minors. We won't be seeing the Vopat brothers being called up this time.
