We need Dubinsky, Bobrovsky, Murray, Anisimov and Letestu updates. Or should we just assume they're all a long way off...
Not any surprise here, but Wiz has confirmed he will play Friday.
It's Bob's glove hand. Index or middle finger I believe.

I suppose that would require less time to heal than were it on his stick hand? Good news, if true, then it just becomes a matter of protecting it enough to overcome any remaining discomfort.

Murray's on IR retroactive to Nov. 1, meaning he's ineligible to play this weekend but can return as soon as Tuesday. #CBJ
Okay so tape that sucker up and get in there, Bobbo!
The nightmare season continues. If it can go wrong, apparently it will. I am seriously thinking the play-offs are now becoming out of reach. In the past we at least won some games with quite a few injuries, but this season has been different thus far. We are losing them all.
The biggest issue? GF 30, GA 41
We are now no better than Buffalo, and Carolina.

Um...Sabres are 17/45 and Carolina is 25/37. Points - yes, although Buffalo has played two more games.
I think the point Dr. Fire is trying to get across is that McBackup's numbers have been pretty mediocre in the absence of Bobrovsky. You can score 3 or 4 goals a game, but you have to not give up 3 or 4 or 5 a night, also.
With the way this team has been with injuries and how secretive the FO has been, I wouldnt be surprised to hear Murray ends up with surgery
You beat me to it! Exactly this.If this was true there would have been no reason to place him on IR retroactively to November 1st. Placing him on IR was a move to free up a roster spot for Wiz coming off IR.
My concern with how we currently look is while we have a depleted lineup, we dont have any 30 goal scorers coming off IR. Duby and AA arent enough to make us anything more then a team you dont want to let hang around in a game.
Letestu, Dubinsky, and AA combined for 50 goals last year. That's not an insignificant number. They're also integral parts of our PK units. Their return to the lineup should very easily raise our goals/game and lower our goals against/game significantly.My concern with how we currently look is while we have a depleted lineup, we dont have any 30 goal scorers coming off IR.
