Sutten?

C'mon boys. You're "THE" news source for all things Hurricanes. Did your sports editor miss this one?
Eaves

soft?
Sun, 11/09/2008 - 00:38 — mdavidhallDuring the game on Thursday, Forslund and Tracy mentioned that Eaves had left the game due to "illness"...not injury. Not sure what that illness was, and Lavy said he just wasn't "feeling right" leading into the Ottawa game.
First thing I thought of was the flu, and here we go again.
I have no idea what is going on, but I doubt it has anything with Eaves being "soft". Just hope he shakes it off soon. I thought he had been looking a lot better on the ice over the last 3 or 4 games, when healthy.
Good to hear that things are starting to turn around on the injury front...knock on wood.

Eaves
Sun, 11/09/2008 - 08:54 — Anonymous (not verified)Eaves was experiencing "wooziness" on Friday, and Forslund mentioned before and after the game that they were unsure as to whether it was effects from the earlier bug or from a hit he took so they were being precautionary. They're concerned he may be concussed, that's why he's MIA.
