2013 "preparation" camp, shortened schedule, etc.

Maybe one of his snakes died.

Maybe he watched Antichrist over the weekend? I developed erotophobia because of it and didn't want to get out of bed, laying in fetal position.

Maybe he just re-aggravated his lower body injury.

Some of the preview stories speculate that the reason Demers isn't on the roster (or IR, but a "non-roster" player; IOW he may be suspended) is because his injury occurred while playing in Europe.

(But it was for Team Canada, not his Finnish league team. )

doesnt make sense to suspend a player for trying to stay fit. especially in a shortened season. the players who played during the lockout will probably have a leg up imo.

Kevin Kurz ‏@KKurzCSN I'm told Burns and Demers are both on the road trip. Don't mistake that to mean they're playing. #SJSharks

They have 8 dmen at the moment. Irwin and Petrecki both may very well play tomorrow.

To clarify... 7 healthy D (plus Burns; Demers not on roster).

One point against having both in line up, and only Irwin in, it'll be really crazy environment in Calgary. Irwin has at least been in the NHL press box for a game.

I can't see Petrecki getting in there unless there's flu or food poisoning.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

I don't want the both in, but if Burns and Demers are no-go's, it will most likely happen.

Which healthy vet would you be sitting?

Boyle, Braun, Murray, Stuart, or Vlasic?

Forgive me, my math was off.

 

[landshark]

I thought Braun was dinged up too...

I suppose a dinged up Braun would be better than a healthy Petrecki playing his first NHL game after a mini-camp...?
