I put it at at 90% he doesn't play.

That's only half-right.

Unlikely. Maybe Friday/Saturday ...

Unlikely. Maybe Friday/Saturday ...

If I had to guess I'd say he's held out till Saturday. No 1. it freshens up a tired lineup, no 2. teams typically don't have a player returning from a serious injury immediately play a back to back.

Wilson, and to a lesser extent, our entire team:

Meh that's more likely Sakic after the team finally wins another cup. Become one with organization, and also actual retirement.

I meant more like straight disintegrating than the actual becoming one with the force thing.

haha fair enough, my inner star wars nerd just gets excited to talk anything force related.

So... Landy's foot/ankle may or may not be getting better.

Wilson is indeed dead.

Rants is good to go, but we'll wait and see....

Calvert escaped a concussion and is going to practice this week, except he's still in concussion protocol without a concussion....

And EJ is the dreaded D2D, so likely out 2 months.

 

[crue7]

So I guess that’s the reason for the Rosen call up..

seriously wtf happened to Wilson? Can someone send a spy please?

Always good when coach doesnt know when we have next game

 

[Matt Roberts]

I understand playing injuries close to the vest, but we're bordering on pure silliness now.

 

[henchman21]

Wilson has the best job in the world... get paid millions, show up 2/3 of the time.

 

[EscapedGoat]

Always good when coach doesnt know when we have next game

And we always wonder why the team doesn't seem to "start the game on time".

Maybe all these years they didn't know they actually had a game on that day?

 

[Balthazar]

If Calvert isn't concussed then why are there good days and bad days?

 

[CB Joe]

Maybe problems with headaches?

 

[Danythegod]

My fantasy team pulled a Colorado Avalanche this past week.

This is so ridiculous that in the NHL Player Safety video of Kerfoot's suspension, they don't say if EJ has been injured on the play or not (usually they always mention it). Even the league don't have the information.

Did the league have any info on EJ’s injury at the time they made the video?

 

[McMetal]

It must have been the boarding play on EJ, right? He finished the game, so it can't be too serious like a broken collarbone, right?

The Wilson injury is the weirdest one to me. I believe when it first happened Bednar said it was a "tweak" during practice and he was day to day. It has been a while since then and apparently he's not close to returning.

On a side note, selfishly I hope the NHL goes to a strict NFL style injury report where teams and coaches get fined if they aren't forthcoming. They would never just do it for the sake of doing it but maybe they'll be forced to as gambling gets more and more prominent for hockey. The "teams will target injuries" comments we've heard just seem like convenient excuses. First of all, some teams already give exact injuries and timelines and have no problems. You also have the NFL, a much more physical sport, where that rarely happens unless you have an idiot like Richie Incognito or someone similar who shouldn't be in the league to begin with.

Wilson likely has some kind of muscle issue, possibly a groin.

Sometimes, you can tweak a muscle like that and it simply takes forever to heal.

I had a quad issue that lasted 2 years. Every time I though it was better, I’d re-injure.
