Plus people fly with slight neck injuries not post concussion
Mike said Nodl to the 2nd in place of Jeff.
Andreas Nodl skated in Skinner’s place on the second line in Saturday’s practice, but Muller said that’s not how the combinations will shake out on Monday. Already carrying an extra forward, the team has a few options, a recall from Charlotte still being one of them.
What's with all the self-deprecating jokes about your team and fans?
Apparently some posters on the Devils board called the Hurricanes a "garbage franchise"
Well, I have just under 8 hours to get the GDT up. Hopefully I know what lines to use at some point, or I may have to improvise
So if LaRose//Brent//Westgarth is the 4th, and the 1st and 3rd are the same from Toronto, I just need to know who will be the 2nd line LW.
I don't feel one bit sorry for you after having to do the Toronto GDT with those damn candy hearts and the Michal Jordan call-up.
It did look like a neck issue for Skinner but I suppose a whiplash could aggravate a concussion situation. Some of you thought that a previous post by a guy was ridiculous regarding Skinner, and regarding his play, I agree. That said, entertain the idea of a Jeff Skinner trade and what the Canes could get in return to fill some of the weak spots. When you think about it, there are possibilities. Very good trade bait but would it be worth it in the long run? Anyway, I'm worried about the game and hope that Price being on the bench helps. Semin is due to snipe a couple.
Skinner has great talent but I don't think we would get a max return for his talent due to his size. Injury concerns are really the only reason why we'd even consider a trade.
Plus, even if we did trade him, who are we getting back that would help us win right now?
Thanks for the explanation, though I had to read your post twice because I fell asleep half way through.
Trying to get in the spirit of crapping on you...
Official Disclaimer: The above comment is intended as a joke and in no way reflects disrespect of an opposing fan base or team, even though writing this disclaimer in itself suggests that Carolina's fans are too sensitive, which of course they aren't, though I'm still writing it instead of helping my wife with the laundry, thereby pihssing off my wife and the entire state of North Carolina and ruining my chances for sex. From my wife, I mean. Though in fairness I haven't checked out the women in North Carolina.
Me too.
Me three. My question is, I heard that the Canadiens are giving away tickets for free because they can't possibly justify selling tickets to see such a garbage franchise as the Carolina Hurricanes. Is this the case?
Gut feeling on Skinner says mild concussion.
The Hurricanes also have a significant hole in their lineup. Head coach Kirk Muller announced Sunday that forward Jeff Skinner would not accompany the team to Montreal because of an “upper-body injury.†Skinner, who went head-first into the boards after contact with Toronto’s Mark Fraser on Thursday night, missed 16 games last season with a concussion, but Muller said there is no evidence that Skinner’s latest problems are concussion-related.
He said he did not know if Skinner, who missed 16 games last season because of a concussion, had any concussion-related issues.
"We'll evaluate him when we get back Tuesday," Muller said.

Skinner has returned to Raleigh for evaluation of an undisclosed injury. Muller said Skinner does not have any concussion issues.
I like this guy.
Me too.
