Carlson said he hurt his knee, Nicky hip, Oshie mid section, Samsonov (not going to worlds due to medical reasons), Ovi said he's fine and would go if "they needed him".. So far, no one thinks they'll need surgery. So, yea, we were banged up at just the wrong time. Still seems like they could of won a shift or two, but who knows.. Just hope they (management) don't fall into the "We can still win a cup with this group" bullshit. (That's what Ovi apparently said.. But what else is he gonna say?)
Team needs a good shake up for sure. I'd feel much better loosing with younger talent, hoping they can improve, compared to old, stale, slow talent we've watched deteriorate for the last handful of years. Outside of the cup run this team and 1st round exits are just brutal disappointments..
* Ovi said he was still injured but "not that bad".. Eller, groin (not the same one from earlier in year) plus neck and shoulder.. The injury details keep coming out.
