Hey @28CGiroux, don't worry it happens bro. #buddies

we'll see
- -davies-

What else can we do

Agreed -- but just like Eric Lindros in Nashville bathtub with a ruptured spleen, I can honestly say this injury is the first I've heard of its kind.

Just have to shake my head, sometimes.
- AllInForFlyers

It's not a common thing to have happened with the golf club, I've been pretty much playing for the last 20 years and never saw anybody on any course shatter a club.

Pathetic, the injury updates are starting on August 15.
Camp hasn't even started yet and it's mid-season form with this (frank)ing horsepoop.
- PLindbergh31

Why is this pathetic?

lovely to come home to this


i guess lecav is our first line center to start the year



will this never end?
- -davies-

Never.

That is funny.. This news is not what I was expecting in the middle of August, but if he can come back 100% before the Reg season.,..then this could have been worse. What a freak injury though.. this team and injuries.. dear God.

Repeal Murphy's Law Now!

- ob18

hope that just for once one to seven of our main players aren't injured at all times?

You actually believe it was because a club snapped? That's their party line...

Didn't even look. Don't need to. I know and understand how the Cap works. And my track record on knowing and understanding the Cap, stands on it's own merits.

Everything a team spends money on isn't part of the CBA. And part of HRR, or player expenditures for the NHL roster. Which is what the Cap is all about.
How Cap (notice the word Cap that should be included) accounting is done is part of the NHL Salary Cap system. And it isn't two different things. You may have never heard of it, but you're mistaken.

Like I said, feel free to Email Matthew Weust or any other NHL CBA authority and ask them if players salaries paid to players, playing in the minors counts towards the players share. But I'll save you some time, it doesn't.

This is really the ABC's of the NHL Salary Cap. It doesn't get more basic then this.
- MJL

ABCs? Really? Before you laid the condescension on so thickly, maybe you should have taken a gander at this first:

50.2(c) For each League Year, "Actual Club Salary" for each Club shall be calculated as the sum of the following amounts:

(i) The aggregate Player Salaries and Bonuses paid or earned for that League
Year for all Players on the Club's Active Roster, Injured Reserve, Injured
Non-Roster and Non-Roster; etc.

...

50.4 (a) "League-wide Player Compensation."
"League-wide Player Compensation" for each League Year means the aggregate Actual Club Salaries for all Clubs, as set forth in
Section 50.2(c), plus... etc.

50.4(b) "Players' Share"
For each League Year, there shall be a Players' Share, which shall be equal to the percentage of HRR that the Players shall be entitled to earn in the aggregate as League-wide Player Compensation... etc

Translation: ALL money paid out by the club, including money to AHL players and bonuses to prospects, are accounted for in the player's share.

Period.

So much for that sterling track record of yours.

(btw, damn you for making me look that up)

this is my other fall favorite, the weather here has been so nice i had one the other day

It's ok a little hot maybe, clove spices, not terrible but
Probably not for you

So G had to have a hand surgeon fix the extensor tendon in his index finger.
This is not great.
These things can get infected.
Lots of stiffness afterwards because after surgery his fingers will have to be casted in extension until healed.

The fact that it was sliced could be a good thing. Typically tendon injuries in the fingers are a result of dislocations and/or avulsion fractures (when a piece of bone where the tendon attaches pulls off). Like you already stated.. He will remain in full extension probably with a small hand cast for about 3-4 weeks, and then SLOWLY work the tendon back into form though OT.

In a sport like football, this isnt even a problem unless you are actively carrying or throwing the ball... In hockey, where you need to be in constant flexion (holding a stick) its paramount to have healthy tendons.

I honestly dont know if this is something to be worried about though, because a lot depends on the type of cut/ direction of cut/affected tendon/how much of the tendon was compromised/ etc.

Bad bad break for G and the Flyers...

Don't forget pathetic!

Couldn't make this poop up even if you tried!hopefully Giroux is 100% before the start of the season and that it doesn't get infected

I really wouldnt worry about infection...

Definitely did not need to wake up to this.

I'll refer you to Article 16 Section 12 of the CBA. There you will find the definition of the term "Non-Roster player".

Welcome to the CBA Tomahawk. Your translation is incorrect.

It's nothing I haven't read before.

But here is today's CBA tip. Anytime you're reading the CBA, and a term is used. Refer to Article 1 for the definition of that term. If the exact term is not there, it will refer you to the section that gives the exact definition.

I can't believe I'm reading this news about Giroux today.

The (frank)ing NHL gods (frank)ing OWE this franchise as it is.
