That sounds about right.

Flyers hockey!

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Official term is "upper body injury" and Anthony Sanfilippo said Voracek was "wincing."

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Well they just showed a clip of him on the bench & he was pointing to his lower back to the trainer.

 

[Curufinwe]

Apparently he slid into the post. Hopefully it's just sore.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Homer says Voracek will be re-evaluated Wed. Will not discuss how serious it is.

Homer returns. Says Voracek injury is not serious.

Even before injury, Voracek was scheduled to sit out on Thurs., Homer says.

Homer expects Voracek to play on Fri. in Wash.

I'm going to go ahead and guess lower rib bruise. He was grabbing that area after the impact.

From John Boruk:

No X-ray or MRI for Voracek. Could have returned.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Not serious? That sounds serious.

loll that's why I'm here.

 

[BernieParent]

He's dead, isn't he?

Just watched that again and Salvador is a friggin' dbag. That was intent to injury. He never tried to get puck at all.

Dr. Holmgren with the update.

 

[Hiesenberg]

That was a real BS move, its preseason, Jake is long gone, just give up the breakaway, who gives a **** if he scores dumbass. Now we have one of our best players hurt already. Its times like these I really do want revenge. Some Karma I guess when Vinny blasted a shot directly into Salvadore

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

At least it's supposedly "not serious"...

 

[Hiesenberg]

I guess we'll really find out on Friday.

 

[FlyersFanz]

My guess is bruised ribs

 

[Bleedred]

I can't stand Salvador (Neither can most Devils fans) and thought it was a really dangerous move. He also could have injured Schneider on that play as well. Should have seen if Schneider could handle Voracek instead of that dangerous play.

I feel the same way about Rinaldo's hit last night. It set off a small war, with Grossmann taking a headshot and several fights breaking out. It's just not worth it in the preseason.

In both cases these are players with secure roster spots. They don't really need to prove anything.

Is Jake okay for Weds against the Leafs?
