Congrats to Carey & his wife on the birth of their healthy baby girl
2nd one is always easier then the first one!

How surprising, right?
NHL and NHL PA should allow emergency leave for family reasons.
It's stupid to use IR to attend this event.
I know it's all suspicious. It did jump in my mind when they announced his injury yesterday. But I highly doubt they'd lie about an injury when they can simply say he will be with his wife for the birth of their second child. That is much better PR. So I'm leaning on him actually being hurt.

Using IR and lying about an injury would be a huge violation and would at the minimum carry some huge fines.
Yeah right.....sprained ankle, 2 days rest. Good to go after.
Try to prove this wrong. We never knew what the injury are....and still could be really injured, he's in the hospital after all
I don't think Hossa suddenly had an allergy to his helmet, do you?
Tell that to the stupid medias that announced Angela was pregnant 2 years ago before the couple had the chance to told their family and friends....As she said: " They robbed us from a very special moment".
Players can play with an injury and if it's worth their while they will do so. However when Hossa's salary dropped , it was much less worth his while. That doesn't mean he didn't have the iritation from this equipment but whether it was debilitating is another story. The rules simply state it has to be backed by the team's medical doctor. I doubt they would use the IR and claim a fake injury that needs to be supported by proof when they could simply use the personal time off and it would allow Carey to be with his wife. As I mentioned , Shaw recently took some personal time off , he wasn't injured and he wasn't playing while still getting paid. Not everything is a conspiracy theory just because it can be , anything can be...
Price's recovery is beyond everyone's control. However, the organization can control how they share information with their fans. We quite obviously want to hear what's going on with this key player; the org can decide we're owed an update, or they can ignore us. They can fulfill their own promise of being more transparent, or they can avoid, ignore, and deflect.Does this really bother you at this point? It's not like knowing the truth will somehow change anything... He won't get back earlier or later based on what the organization releases as information...
All you wrote is right....but Price isn't on IR either.
And there's the story for fans and reporter and what is said to the NHL, don't have to be the same thing.
You know some dumb ass fans and dumb ass reporters or whatever would not be smart enough to understand that a 10,5M guy is missing important games, no matter what is the reason (And as i said multiple time, could still be injured)
But again, perfect timing to get that news out before Julien meets the press this morning.
Absolutely he is on IR:

I'm not saying the logic behind the conspiracy theory is ridiculous just that occam's razor applies here.
The simplest answer is often the correct one , no matter how much people like to dig .
I don't see how it's worth taking such a huge risk in terms of medical fraud and organizational reputation , just to appease some fans as if they are on the brink of burning down the city...This isn't Vancouver afterall...
As you said it happened yesterday apparently, can we wait a couple of days or something? The whole media is already overfilled with Price something... I don't blame the organization in such a crazy market, to be honest.Price's recovery is beyond everyone's control. However, the organization can control how they share information with their fans.

According to Julien...he's been dealing with whatever this is, for a few days.As you said it happened yesterday apparently, can we wait a couple of days or something? The whole media is already overfilled with Price something... I don't blame the organization in such a crazy market, to be honest.
It seems like every time this guy gets touched there's a mysterious injury following up the next 2-3 weeks later.The most obvious injury to me was when he was tripped up by Tkachuk and they allowed the goal against him, that left knee didn't look right in that fall.
But he was on the ice yesterday so it was nothing special right? Time for speculation...According to Julien...he's been dealing with whatever this is, for a few days.
So it didn't happen yesterday, other then maybe re-aggravating it.
Most teams don't bother withholding details of a goalie's injury. There's very little other teams can do with that info, either physically or strategically, that would affect their game plan. As to the issue of medical privacy, I agree they would be bound by confidentiality if it was unusually sensitive or personal. But aside from the Zach Kassian situation, almost every injury has been the mundane sort.I'm not a fan of Bergevin at all, but I don't see why people expect the team to give detailed injury accounts to the public.
First of all, the information is then available to other teams.
Second, medicine can be complex, sometimes doctors, even great ones, need time to figure things out.
Third, one can argue that the medical information is private. The patient, doctor, and team deserve to know, but the public is not entitled to that information.
How difficult would it be to announce that Price felt something in his knee/ankle/groin/wherever? The situation grows larger and the speculation more intense when they say nothing.As you said it happened yesterday apparently, can we wait a couple of days or something?

They told us he's injured! Relax...How difficult would it be to announce that Price felt something in his knee/ankle/groin/wherever? The situation grows larger and the speculation more intense when they say nothing.
