Ugh. I dont wanna over react incase its nothing serious but this is getting really annoying.

This has been known for a few days IIRC.

Apparently nothing serious, though. Unless its gotten worse the last few days.

 

[Super Cake]

You guys are way over exaggerating this. I did read that he can play, but he is taking it easy so he can be ready to play for the games that actually matter.

 

[OmniSens]

I like hearing "If I had to play, I would" Mac says the same thing "If he would have to play, wouldn't be an issue"

Nothing to worry about here folks... Yet...

 

[swiftwin]

Wow, it's really weird to read the article referring to him as the captain.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

As long as it's not his back.

 

[OmniSens]

As long as it's not his back.

Bingo. My thoughts exactly. I'm hoping to never have to hear another injury involving his back. One more injury/surgery will ****up his game.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Not a big deal since we don't play a game besides the split squad with the Islanders till Friday. He just has to stay off it for a while and make sure it doesn't get worse. Lots of time to heal up.

Trade Spezza

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

With the way the news came about our injuries last year, God knows what his injury really could be about.

Who remembers last year?

"Spezza is out day-to-day(February)" "Oh he will be back before trade deadline for sure." "Spezza won't play this year at all."

Lol, but I do believe it's minor since he is actually skating.

He'll be fine. He's just resting until the season starts.

So by "groin" they really mean his back, right!?

That's what I'm thinking!

Spezza, stop screwing up my keeper league team!

 

[MainDotC]

How many games did Bonk miss to injury ? He was a REAL centre.

I think Spezza is fine and they are using this to give Da Costa he spot light. They are really not worried about Spezza starting the season. This only gives Da Costa a chance to impress other teams.

Bryan Murray is a genius!

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Not worried about the injury but worried about what it might mean. He'll be back but if he hurt himself during camp/preseason which isn't high intensity like the regular season then it's definitely not thw greatest of news

 

[DylanSensFan]

didn't Spezza have a groin injury in 2006?

Also in the article:

ALFIE STANDS BY DEAL: Alfredsson, who at times this season has been the best player in the game, said he won't be asking for a raise after seeing his teammates cashing in big deals. "I'm very happy with what I'm making," he said (even if it is in those crappy US dollars now). "I've always said when you sign a contract you have to live up to it." Alfredsson will make less next year ($5.45 million) than Heatley ($10 million), Spezza ($8 million) and Fisher ($6 million). Alfredsson has three option years after next season at $3.8 million. Remember, Alfredsson got a 24% pay cut with the new CBA.

 

[The Fuhr*]

Since 05-06 Spezza usually misses about 20 games a season.

Hoping it is indeed groin as others pointed out and not a masquerade for an actual back-related injury.
