How long is Cammy out for?

Doubtful for tomorrow but most likely back on Monday.

Thank God we didn't jump the gun and sell off all of our forwards for picks because we had a surplus to start the season. Stempniak's looking much better than a 2nd right now....

Trying to think positive in how we can survive this.

First of all, we need Iggy to break out (production wise). Cammalleri as well

Also, Kippers injury doesn't seem like it will last too long so hopefully we get him back next week and he plays like the Kipper we all know and love. Irving has to be solid and get another win or two.

The Czech lines gotta stay hot, they probably going to get more ice time in this situation.

Hopefully, Baertschi can be good to go within 2 weeks, we can really use him.

I don't have much to say about our defense as they have been phenomenal. That issue we had with 10 top9 forwards for only 9 spots ended quickly .. This stretch could very much define the season. Hartley is really being put to the test now and im curious to see what hes got in store.

Well all he can really do is put his best lineup forward each night until the injured guys get back. Beyond that there's not much he can do. Let's just hope the team continues to play well.

Ah crap for Backlund.

Has Kipper ever been injured?

Can't seem to recall him ever on the IR

I think he was - I seem to recall Jamie McLennan getting a lot of starts one year.

according to TSN missed 19 games with a knee injury in 2004.

he missed 2 months the year the Flames went to the Finals. McLennan started and played with a fractured sternum until Turek returned from his injury who held the fort until Kiprusoff returned (late Jan?) and led the Flames to the 6th seed.

Any updates during HNIC with respect to Kipper's injury?

Any updates during HNIC with respect to Kipper's injury?

Like everyone else said, he was put on IR but its not serious enough for him to miss a lot of games. He can be activated for wednesday if ready

I know Iginla and Tanguay have great chemistry, but they need to try this line out for a couple of games. Hudler and Cervenka could create a lot of space for Iginla.
