Russo just announced week to week..

 

[AKL]

Injured in practice, or injured before/during the Four Nations and probably shouldn't have been playing in it?

Russo just announced week to week..

This part of the Athletic article was particularly worrying. Has it really been that many injuries for Ek?

Eriksson Ek, 28, has scored nine goals and 24 points in 42 games. He has missed 15 games this season due to four previous injuries.

This state is legitimately cursed when it comes to our sports teams.

Never lucky man. Ek out extended time. Kaprizov missing more time than expected. First round exit, here we come.

If we even make the playoffs.

Again, he shouldn't have been in the tournament.

They are up double digits in points with a month and a half to go, they are making the playoffs,

if 2 of your 4 best forwards are injured do you really have a legit shot at the cup? i hope we do nothing until next year.

Ek and kap are just syncing up their health so they come back super strong by the end of the year. It's a secret euro thing.

Probably not, but hopefully they'll be back by the time the 1st round rolls along. I imagine Guerin is going to need answers on their timelines within the week so he can start setting up for what he'll do 10 days from now.

They probably need 96 points to make the playoffs. That means they need 12 wins in their remaining 25 games. That's slightly below .500, and they've been playing slightly above .500 without Kaprizov.

The Flames (their only real threat) needs 34 points to get there, which means 17 wins in their remaining 26 games. That's 17-9 vs. the Wild's 12-13. (or some variation of loser points that helps get them there)

Yeah, I think it could get down to the wire, but I'd still put my money on the Wild in that race.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Can Buium play forward?

 

[AKL]

Can Buium play forward?

Maybe we can get Jack Devine from Florida

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Btw the time the playoffs start, Wes Walz will be back on the team.
