He won't be playing the last two games and they will reevaluate his chances on Tuesday.
Cheers for info. Hoping we get good news on Tuesday...and if not, hopefully it's not more than 1-2 weeks (compared to 1-2 months+). When he doesn't make mistakes he's a solid/physical #4dman (like his recent play)...but when he makes many mistakes I want to pull my hair out and make him our borderline #6-7dman! Hopefully he comes back soon and as a solid #4dman.
Hope he's ready to go for the playoffs.
He gets **** on a lot around here, but the guy ended the season playing very well. Last time we made the playoffs I thought Emelin/Petry were out best pairing as well and his physical presence adds a lot in the playoffs.
I'm crossing my fingers BIG TIME for him to be healthy soon.
I **** often on him for his defensive mistakes (and lack of defensive hockey sense),etc, so I'm guilty for that (no doubt), but...I do like him when he keeps it smart/simple defensively like he has been in his last 5-6-7 games and then this has to happen...an injury...#$%^&*@#$%. (Hopefully it's not serious). I just wished he was more consistent defensively like he has been recently (hope he comes back and gives us that same kind of play).
If an extra week (or two) will get him back to 100% (or close), then I'm all for it (vs rushing him for game 1 and he's only at 50% and he makes many mistakes,etc).
Did anyone see how it happened? (or what happened?).
Cheers.
Go Habs Go!!
Go Emelin Go! (please get better
