The lock out repercussions just keep on rolling out.......expect more of these injuries, with the hectic schedule and too many games each week........Colorado won't be able to recover from their 4-7 showing now.

It said head injury so I'm assuming he was trying to do a crossword puzzle.
Canuck eh?

I had the same thought when I read this. With every year that passes, EJ looks less and less worthy of the #1 pick. The trade to get Shattenkirk and Stewart looks better and better too.

That trade never made any sense to me at the time. Big win for the Blues...
Stewart can be a 30 goal man and Shattenkirk eats up at least 20 minutes of ice time per game.

Well, if they were smart they woulda taken the best player in the game who later went 5th overall.

Not sure I can agree with that.....but Toews or Backstrom would have been a much better #1 pick.....

You mean I'm not the only one who doesn't think Kessel is the best player in the league?
