Bruised ribs are bad enough. Broken ribs....could be a while.

 

[TaLoN]

Maybe another week or two then...

Well ****.

 

[Puhis]

Ahh. I've had broken ribs, it sucks.

He was playing really good too. He seemed to be one of the important pieces to our puck possession game

That sucks, he was really playing solid. Hopefully he will be back soon.

He needs to suck it up! Suter played the last 3 weeks of the season/playoffs with broken ribs! No excuse for your candy*** Ballard!

The guy has had some bad luck so far this season. Hopefully he's not out for too long. I think this team is better with him in the lineup.

Ballard is tougher. He took his visor off! His ribs will heel. Good thing it's nothing to do with his concussion.

But Suter isn't human. He's a machine.

He can be ready for the mid-season collapse playoff run
