I'd love

to send you a spike so you'd quit taking up vaulable space. hope you get the spam flu

Not so fast is right.

If that skate sliced a tendon or did significant damage to a muscle he could be out for a long time. The way he needed assistance off the ice and the fact that he's being held in hospital are not good signs.

Not so fast...

You may not want to exhale just yet. He could be out months. Depending on the location and nature of the injury, it could even be a season ending injury!

Cam Ward's Injury

Injuries to the inner leg can be quite serious and particularly so for athletes in full body contact sports.  We don't have any significant information about the nature of the injury; but we all saw the speed at which contact was made and the amount of blood.  In the meantime,  all our thoughts and prayers go out to Cam Ward and his family. 

return

I don't think we will be playing for a few games. That means one thing: Leighton!

 

This is why we wanted a competent backup goalie. Were people not saying, "What will happen is Ward is injured" during the offseason? I admit that I was in the group of people that thought this wouldn't happen.

Whew !!!

well at least it wasn't a ligament, or deep muscle cut. So there just might be a silver lining yet ....Rest well everyone

Go Canes !!!
