I know it's not my call, but do we need to have the Bruins stuff in this injury thread? I read this thread to get updates on the injured players.

Alright people... simmer down a bit. Let's stay on subject of injuries.

Iginla has been dropping some hints on Sid the past couple days today he said he hopes Sid is back in 3 weeks or sooner im starting to think the timeframe is 3 weeks for Sid

Sorry, this stuff was pertaining to his injury. What more do we need to know about his injury? He's doing well considering, and we might or might not see him before the playoffs. I'm leaning before though.

The OP is probably as far as you need to go, it's updated as soon as it comes in, is it not?

Sid's a warrior. He'll be back when it's possible to be back.

Whether that's two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, five weeks... whatever. He'll be back when it's possible to be back.

The Bruins?

The ***** chose us. Who cares about them? Let us be in their heads.

As for Crosby, the only worry I have at all is his conditioning right before the playoffs. This certainly will set him back as far as workouts go for a time. This is a mirror of Hossa though, a week or ten days play together before the playoffs start. Does anyone think that these guys need more? And it is not as if they never played together.

Definitely nothing new I'm sure but heard on the local sports station here (93.7) that Sid's home and will be confined to soups and shakes for a while due to swelling. Tocchet says he should be ready for the playoffs.

I hope he comes back with enough games left to win another art ross. I know it shouldn't matter but it would be nice considering how close he is to winning one.

Stamkos will build a 5 point lead, Sid will come back the last game and score three goals and three assists.

Yupp. I know a lot of people think that Bylsma won't change the lines, but I don't think it could be more obvious that they want to play together.

As far as Sid goes, if he is able to come back with a few regular season games left and can still win the scoring title/Hart, then maybe having a couple weeks off and getting rested for the playoffs will turn out to be a good thing.

they will call it the "Art Ross Game" - Marty and Moose combine to let in six goals.

One interesting part of the article:

-The Penguins were going to wear their blue uniforms on Tuesday night against Buffalo, but have scrapped the idea. Whether it’s related or not, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review notes that Crosby has twice been injured wearing the blue unis, and Evgeni Malkin was injured wearing them earlier this season.

– The decision to scrap the blues, the Tribune reports, was not made by Pens players.

I hate those unis.

Bruins fan still boo Kessel 5 years later. For being traded? One of the whiniest fan bases.

To be fair, wasn't he holding out? It's still silly, but at least somewhat understandable. Especially since the Bruins made out like bandits. They should be sending Kessel flowers for doing the franchise a huge favor.

Once they see the beatings that their wearers in the stands receive, I'm sure they will stop pimping them and retire them for good.

Wow.


I'm glad, but also pretty surprised. Didn't see that coming to be honest.

 

[Dying Alive]

I have one of those blue jerseys. I like it but I'm not sorry the Pens won't be wearing them anymore.

We'll need a young priest, and an old priest...

Screw that... 10 gallons of gas, a match, and a few bottles of rum to watch it all burn...

And when the cops came through, me and Dre stood next to a burnt down house.

With a can full of gas, and a hand full of matches, still no one found out.

Any updates on Crosby today?

Any updates on Crosby today?

Don't think so. I beleive they need the swelling down before the can evaluate and comment on timelines. I'm expecting the next meaningful update wont come until Late this week.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what a bionic Sid can do in the playoffs.
