Damn those Koho 560s were fine-lookin' pads.

12/12/2009 5:26:39 PM

Koho always looked like Hoho to me from a distance.

Wow, you would think with the way the Canes just find ways to lose that we would have this race won already. But the rest of the Eastern Conference seems to want to stick around as well.

12/13/2009 11:33:46 AM

Less than two weeks ago, we were a point ahead of Toronto.

The Irishman (as Grapes would say) must be smiling.

"Swiss goalie Martin Gerber, who past summer left the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL to play for Atlant Mytischi of the KHL, was hospitalized after suffering a serious neck injury in a game against Vityaz Chekhov on December 13. According to a Russian site lifesports.ru during the second period a Vityaz forward ran into Gerber. As a result Gerber ended up lying on the ice. After being tested by the team's doctors Gerber was put on a wheel stretcher and taken off the ice. He was sent to a Podolsk municipal hospital where he was diagnosed with a compression fracture of the third cervical vertebra. "The injury is very serious, Martin can forget about hockey for next 6 months," said one of the hospital's doctors, Igor Suvorov. "Thank God the spinal cord was not hurt and there is no threat to his life. Gerber will soon be sent to a special clinics in Podolsk to undergo computed tomography to ensure the spinal cord is not hurt." Martin Gerber is expected to stay at the hospital for at least 2 months. Update: Russian newspaper Sovetskiy Sport talked with Atlant GM, Andrei Verevko: "Gerber underwent computed tomography. The preliminary diagnosis is a compression fracture of the fourth cervical vertebra. Monday morning Gerber will have an advanced medical examination.""

holy shit

get better soon, Marty

12/14/2009 1:41:37 PM

Poor Gerber Baby Food.

12/14/2009 2:09:46 PM

12/14/2009 2:14:04 PM

shit, just put the whole fucking team on waivers.

yep. I'm headed straight for Jussi's table

12/14/2009 2:34:11 PM

Hopefully someone will take A. Ward, but I doubt it. Even still, I'm fine with him sitting and bringing up someone else, because Harrison has been solid since he came back up and Brett Carson is ready to play every night right now.

12/14/2009 3:19:17 PM

Uhhh

I'm not sure how you go from career threatening and 2 months in the hospital to that, but good news!

12/14/2009 4:00:05 PM

^lmao.....that doctor said "martin can forget about hockey for 6 months atleast"

now the motherfucker is gonna be back in 2-3 weeks?

hahaha

12/14/2009 4:03:20 PM

can somebody explain the difference in claiming someone on waivers vs. re-entry?

12/14/2009 4:36:01 PM

Waivers: If a team claims the player they pay his full salary
Re-entry Waivers: If a team claims the player they pay half his salary, and the old team pays the other half

12/14/2009 4:40:22 PM

ah ok I figured it was something with the amount they pay. Thanks.

I'm pretty surprised JR did this, even though Ward has been awful this year.

12/14/2009 4:43:26 PM

I'm not surprised. Look for more moves that will cut salary in the coming weeks, especially if we lose more than we win Christmas (or NYE).

12/14/2009 7:09:27 PM

^ That should read "before Christmas."

12/14/2009 8:13:50 PM

can't wait to hear about Jussi's reaction to his banner. Especially since Pitkanen was sitting next to him. hahahah

12/14/2009 9:10:15 PM

i think it should be in the rafters of the RBC Center

12/14/2009 9:26:00 PM

Jussi was somewhat ashamed it seemed. Joni was laughing, when Whitney's response was "JUUUUICE, look at you. We need this in the locker room!" Ruutu proclaimed it "awesome"

12/14/2009 9:56:00 PM

12/14/2009 10:30:00 PM

ROFL great work

12/14/2009 10:49:37 PM

12/14/2009 10:59:26 PM

you have photographic proof that Joni has a personality.

12/14/2009 10:59:46 PM

Hahahaha. That's amazing. JUSSI!!!

12/14/2009 11:04:00 PM
