[Papa_Bear_21]

Just wanted to get an update on his injury status.
There were rumblings that he had had a set back and may miss the entire season.

Is that true?

Yeah there was an article in the Gazette about a month ago that he was cleared to play.

That's good news. Happy to hear he'll be injury free. He'll get his chance. If he does not perform we'll get rid of him.

Only injured Habs player is Nokelainen, I think.

What happened to him?

Side question: is Plekanec alright?

EDIT:

"... The Canadiens are mostly healthy, with only centre Petteri Nokelainen a question mark. Plekanec injured his ribs last week but said the injury is minor..."

EDIT2:

"... Petteri (unspecified upper-body)..."

Too bad: Nokelainen is a good right handed faceoff specialist... we need him!

Plekanec is injured as well

Plekanec is injured as well

Apparently it's very minor and he won't miss the start of the season.

Lucky guy... He's got his whole paychecks so far.

No he stopped getting paid early December.

Not that easy when the new cap will be only $60M. Can you suggest any GM who would go out of his way to sign him?
