NYI expect John Tavares to miss the balance of the season due to the injury suffered at the Olympics.

Arthur Staple @StapeNewsday
MRI reveals torn MCL and torn meniscus for Tavares. May need surgery. Will be ready for training camp in September.

Ever GM's worst nightmare. Star player gets hurt in Sochi.... egads... feel bad for all the Isles fans who have to put up with Wong and now this... season over!!!

Yes, but I mean he doesnt get to play in the medal round. Im sure thats a little disappointing for any player.

Has to be. Some no name, taking runs at star players. Sad really.

Called for 15cms, we are past 20 and it is snowing harder now than it has all night.

We could use it.

I was thinking how the hell does Nolan or any other north american coach communicate with "russian" speaking players?

Yeah...thats why I think Canada will fair better against the US...as they will both play a skilled game. Another "play the body on every shift" team may not have ended well for the good guys.

Ya, I don't blame the Latvian player for this. In fairness, Canada would have done well to take some runs at their players and put the 'fear of Canada' in them...

Too dangerous for skiers, but Granny will still go to the store for her smokes in the old car.

I would have loved to hear the talk in the dressing room. I would like to know what he was saying to the team. I bet it would be interesting.

because they all know english.

other cultures tend to know more than one language.. this one language only thing is very north american..

and english is the second most popular language in the world... by far the most widely known.. only mandarin is used more and it is very localized.

why i know this? couldnt tell you. lol

- Colin Dambrauskas

my guess is its more violent than any other game in the tourney

or heavily penalized.
