Apparently his golf club broke, and he got sliced by the shards...expected to be in a cast for 3 weeks.

Those Riders are doing pretty good this year hey? Sheets is a pretty impressive RB, and I dont think we have seen Simon really "arrive" yet.

Changes finally in Bomberville though, about (frank)ing time.

Yeah 5-1, that last loss to the Stamps stung alot, couldve been 6-0 and had a 2G lead instead we're tied. That was a frustrating game to watch, we looked like the 11/12, 12/13 Riders.
But ya Sheets is (frank)ing amazing, im afraid we'll lose him to the NFL next year. I think he can beat the CFL Rushing record.

Gotta win vs the pathetic Als Saturday or else im gonna be scared.

and yeah finally got rid of (frank)ing Mack, possibly worst GM in CFL history. Happy for you guys.

hey guys i just realized something!!!
if Giroux is out atleast till Nov, we could place Giroux on LTIR, and sign Gagne, then waive Mezzy when Giroux isnt hurt anymore!
BRILLIANCEEEEEE!!!!

Oh who am i kidding, this (frank)ing sucks

"Surgery" is not a good word. I hate that (frank)ing word. "Surgery" usually always means atleast a month
in this case i dont see him back till Nov

Below is a statement from Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren on Claude Giroux's injury.

"Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux had successful surgery this afternoon on his right index finger performed by Dr. Katherine Boyd at the Ottawa Civic Hospital in Ottawa, Canada. Giroux was golfing today when his golf club shattered and splintered into his index finger. Although there were no broken bones, there was some damage to his extensor tendons in his finger. He is expected to have a full recovery in 5-6 weeks."

If it takes the full six weeks, Giroux should be ready to go a week prior to the season opener on October 2nd

He usually has pretty mediocre pre-season games anyway, so it might be good to let someone else get a chance. Ok, who am I kidding, this franking blows, but if this is the only off-season injury I guess I'll take it (no achilles-injuries plz).
