did not look good, lets hope hes back soon.

if nof i think his injury increases the chances we trade for a
4th line center

Minimum 6 weeks I would guess. He either dislocated his shoulder or broke his collarbone the way the arm was hanging when he walked off the ice.

Yeah, it looked ugly when he went down the tunnel

 

[Sharksfan83]

He'll be fresh for the playoffs!

 

[Barrie22]

He also clutched his stomach with both hands when he was on the ice. And the way he was sitting when the trainer came out didn't look like a shoulder either.

 

[WSS11]

Looked like he got cross checked in the rib cage. Could be a cracked rib?

He was dragging the right arm, for sure. Me and my wife were saying the same thing when it happened.

DeBoer's reaction was great. Was like watching a dad yell when he sees another kid hurt his kid.

Could be both.

Speculation on Barracuda pregame that Suomela might be recalled to replace Melker in lineup for Monday's game.

(As it's a 1pm start, he could be on a flight tonight from LAX or wherever to head to Vancouver.)

I assume Radil will draw back in with Gambrell and Goodrow

Thank you Mike Potenza.

Breaking news:

Sharks coach Pete DeBoer announces the team will forfeit the rest of its games this season.

 

[Coily]

Are Sharks ready for no Karlssons?

So would Suomela have to fly back on his own too, since he didn't initially fly with the team to Canada?

Sho-vels! *clap clap*

I believe so.

That doesn't look like a nasty hit at all. Probably the shoulder got stuck and he dislocated it ? Goodrow coming flying into the other guy after would seem more painful

 

[SharksAddict]

Yep. Suomela would just be an extra most likely.

Yeah, not incredibly hard, but that last shove must have been at just the right angle to tweak something. Shoulders are funny joints.

 

[FeedingFrenzy]

My question is this season ending? LTIR and
use his cap to help acquire a player.
Win!!

 

[Lebanezer]

How?

 

[WSS11]

How?

Deboer sat him down and told him that he already lost one son to trade and that he couldn’t go on losing his other to injury even for just one game.
