Apparently home ice could mean a lot.

Any update on EK's condition?

Any update on EK's condition?

Karlsson, Brassard and Ceci were all rested. Will be good for game 6. As per Garrioch

 

[DMR]

Here in Sweden they think this was supposed to be a mockery of Crosby as he apparentely often does that glove thing when talking to teammates.

Can't imagine why EK didn't feel like mocking Crosby today.

Phew, so there's still a chance after the thorough beat down tonight. Today feels like post game Series 2 Game 4 in Madison Square Garden.

It's not an elimination game. It's​ a home game where this team has had most of its success. They have to be ready like they were in Game 3.

EK is a damn good sportsmanship, man.

 

[Fandlauer]

Definitely should protect this guy in the upcoming expansion draft.

I think we should make and effort to resign him as well.

 

[The Lewler]

Extend ASAP. 8 years.

Karlsson is such a class act. I'm thinking after seeing his performance this spring and what a leader he's become that somewhere in the NHL there's a star player that wants to come to Ottawa and be a part of Karlsson's Senators.
The attitude of the team. The coaching staff. The elite talent. Karlsson is such an amazing player, Captain and Ambassodor to the sport he inspires everyone around him. If I'm JT I'm watching the exit interviews and thinking 'man I'd like to be a part of that team. I've scored and won in that building. Get my agent on line 1'

What fantastical narrative crafting.

John Tavares is not coming to Ottawa. He's not thinking I need to get there to play with Karlsson.

At best, he's thinking : man I wish my organization would make the moves to get Karlsson.

I guess we both know what JT is thinking.

Any update on just how injured he was?

We'll likely hear today. Boucher/Dorion addressing the press around mid-day, I believe.

 

[Micklebot]

Any update on just how injured he was?

He talked about it in the media availability, but no specifics. He just said that he'll be getting an MRI and an x-ray soon, and that he felt he was healthy enough to be able to play at the level needed for them to get it done.

I think Crosby ended the series a -4 and EK was a +5 and they went head to head all series. Anyone who says EK's not the best in the game, they need new glasses.

 

[MaxTheLimit]

Today Karlsson turns 27. So today, according to Dorion, is the anniversary of the 8th day.

[Rysto]

If 4 months is accurate that means missing all of training camp and the first week or so of the season.

Depends upon when he had it. But Karlsson has shown he can recover quicker than most.

 

[Sun God Nika]

This is Erik Karlsson he will probs be putting on the skates in two months

 

[Flamingo]

Typical Garrioch, throwing foot tendons under the bus.

 

[Six Assets]

Damn it

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Feels like this should have its own thread. Big news being burried in here.
