Quote from: RichHScary headline, but the good phrase to read is "precautionary reasons," as spelled out in the article. Big hope it isn't anything to worry about.

Sharks' Murray goes to hospital after taking puck to throat

400th game in the NHL. Has he been gone that long?

Sadly, yes. When I think about it, I'm reminded of how long I've been gone. He was 2 years behind me.

Today's anatomy lesson courtesy of Backhand Shelf: Douglas Murray has a broken Adam's Apple. He will be out of the line up for a few games.

I didn't realize this until seeing his name in the jersey auction thread, but David LeNeveu has been with the Oklahoma City Barons of the AHL this season and seems to be finding his game again after disappointing AHL seasons in 2008-09 and 2010-11 (sandwiched around a strong season with Red Bull Salzburg in 2009-10). He's currently second in the AHL in GAA and sixth in SV%, though as the short end of a 60/40 time share. (The other goalie? One Yann Danis. Danis, though, was called up to the Oilers yesterday, so Lenny may see more playing time at least for the moment.)

I refuse to recognize Yann Danis' accomplishments until his team creates a website describing them to me.

[quote TSN]According to Gordon McIntyre of the Vancouver Province, the injury to Canucks forward Byron Bitz might affect the team's trade deadline strategy.

The big forward who has missed over a year due to four different surgeries has recently returned to the club, but after seven games, he needs time off. If he can't be in the lineup on a regular basis, the club might look to add some size on or before Monday.

"It's a complicated time of year, put it that way," head coach Alain Vigneault said. "But I don't want to over-react. This might be just a minor setback."[/quote]

Anybody know what is up with Ryan O'Byrne? He played earlier this week and was a +3 Wednesday v. the Kings. He has been out of the line-up the past two games and scanning through the Avalanche website yielded no results.

Also, Douglas Murray has yet to return to the line-up for the Sharks, that adam's apple thing is very serious ::bugeye::.

Bitz was sent down to the Chicago Wolves yesterday. Bummer

I will be interested to see if he's back with Vancouver this season or if they see Kassian as his permanent replacement. I think the Canucks need a lot of grit so I'm hoping he'll be back.

At least Vancouver gave him more of a shot than they did with Dan Ratushny, I'm just saying.....

Danis was reassigned to the Barons today; he played in one game with the Oilers, relieving Devan Dubnyk for the second half of last night's loss to the Blues and stopping 10 of the 12 shots he faced. LeNeveu started all thee Barons games in his absence. Last Wednesday, he allowed just one goal on 32 shots in the Barons' 5-1 win over the Texas Stars. Friday, he was pulled after allowing 4 goals on 18 shots over the first 31 minutes in an eventual 6-2 loss to the Charlotte Checkers. However, he was back in goal again on Saturday night and had a much better game, stopping 36 of 38 shots through regulation and overtime and then 6 of 7 in the shootout to earn the win.

Goal and an assist for Moulson today in a nice 3-2 Islanders win.
