Lupul, Kessel, JVR, Clarkson, Kulemin, Raymond.

3/6 are either hurt or suspended

Hopefully we're done with suspensions for the season. Although, 3 of the 6 are now repeat offenders in the eyes of the NHL. :) I'm guessing Lupul will miss anywhere from 15-25 games this season going by his history.

Are we sure it is not Lupul's Knee?

I have serious doubts that it is his calf that is hurt, watch the hit again...it sure looks like it is his knee.

I got a bruised calf last Friday from blocking a slap shot, couldn't put much weight on it all of Saturday. People underrate the pain, it makes it very hard to move your ankle at all. But by Sunday afternoon, I was cleared to play. It still hurt for the first 5 minutes of warm ups but didn't bother me after that. I wouldn't be worried about it, they are just trying to keep the swelling down.

When freak injuries happen every other day it makes you wonder..

Some guys are just injury prone and have some kind of aura around them that attracts injury. Whether its the way he plays, his attitude, not paying attention.. Lupul is always getting minor and major injuries.

Embarrassing if he misses a game due to a bruise considering many players have had worse injuries and still manage to play.

Very frustrating.

Here's hoping he plays 70ish games this season. Such an important player for us.

But we can't be using this crap as an excuse.

Didn't he collide with his teammate?

I wonder whether that's when it happened. I remember seeing him grimace to the bench, just don't remember when it was or what happened.

I seriously doubt he misses the game tomorrow. Icing today to bring down the swelling and he will be good to go.

Gosh you folks are seriously emotional disasters.

That was a total cheap shot by Parenteau. I thought he was going to be hurt a lot worse than a bruise.... totally legit injury imho, anybody would be hurting after that bullsh*t hit from behind.

First McLaren, then Clarkson, then Fraser, THEN Kulemin, and now we got ****ing Lupul injured again?

That is a TON of grit and physicality missing from our lineup..

Hopefully were getting all of our injury trouble out of the way for playoff time :sarcasm:
