The way we report injuries is a bit bullshit, to be honest. If Aho isn't close to being back, there's no way he was day to day last week, just like they bullshitted us over Freddie last year.

I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious
Honestly, I don't think the team was doing a lot of bullshitting around Andersen. Given the comments, it seemed like he was expected back a lot sooner, and there was frustration that he wasn't. Seems like a team doctor probably cleared him to play, the team wanted him to play, but Andersen only plays when he feels 100% ready.

Seems like the only way this will change is the league's betting partners putting pressure on things to be more like the NFL in reporting things. And even they skirt the rules on that as much as possible. Until then, it just is the way it's gonna be.
I just don't get the angst over injury timetable reporting. In some ways it makes following team(s) a bit more interesting. A player returns when he returns. People would be pissed either way if a player returns earlier or later than DW's announced timetable. He's a lying b*stard!

Agreed, I honestly don't care how truthful they are with reporting injuries. The player will play if he can. Not having a clear time table on his return can admittedly be frustrating but ultimately means very little. It is what it is.
Gambling and all parties having similar info + we all just want to know…we are nosy.

They played Dec 6th in Anaheim (Game ended Dec 7th EST).
From what I can tell, the next practice was Dec 8th and Aho wasn't on the ice for that practice.

No wonder he was in such a pissy mood after that one. Probably knew something was off

I’d like to see how they turn Johnny’s fashion show rant into a song.
I assume there would be a running bit where someone interrupts a number and the Hanson’s come out and beat the shit out of them while singing”I’m listening to the f***ing song!

It'd be fun for them to do the whole thing on skates with artificial ice, too. Or heck, do the show Disney on Ice style in an arena.

Puttin' On the Foil
(Ok, home for a snow day, so here goes...)
The team is mad, the sticks are gettin' higher,
The ref's on edge, situation's dire.
When tempers boil, Puttin' on the Foil.
Elbows up, and checks are on the border,
Old time Hockey's now the new order.
The ice will roil, Puttin' on the Foil.
......
"Oglethorp's Blues" is to the tune of White Zombie's "Super-Charger Heaven" --
Ogie lived a life between two countries
Kicked out of the States and now Canada too
Now he's skatin' with Swamptown and a man called Poodle
Comin' to your rink to punch you into nothin'
Just an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth yeah
We got a guy with a lawyer and a Dr Hook too
Leave a trail of blood to the donut shop and
Throw a punch once more with feeling yeah!
Oglethorp Oglethorp fighting Oglethorp
Punch you in the head yeah
Oglethorp Oglethorp fighting Oglethorp
Punch you in the head yeah
[Then a verse in French, then back to the chorus]

Aho could have had hip replacement surgery and Canes wouldn't tell....like I said, I always fear Canes "day-to-day injuries"

As long as we keep winning, or at least stay competitive I don't really care how long he's out.
Unless it's going to be more than a week then I'm gonna start really freaking out, man.

I think we can still pretty easily make the playoffs without Aho so not all that concerned. If whatever he has could linger into the playoffs then I'll be very concerned, but as long as he's back before then it's really not a huge deal. Like the bolts learned a few years ago, just worry about getting in and then turn it on.

The timing kind of sucks with the Pens-Devils-Pens portion of the schedule being impacted.

This is Hurricanes Hockey
If he needs to heal, then heal.
Hopefully it's nothing too serious but it's a contact sport playing 82 games, shits gonna happen sadly.
