Aaron Musick: Avalanche ins and outs
O'Reilly, Downie, Columbus gameday

Hope O'Reilly's injury isn't serious... It's telling that he played on it the other night as well.

I wonder if hes traded or signed, I guess we'll see sooner than later. Hanzal didn't play last night and there has been nothing released about an injury either.

Lower body injury for Hanzal, Klesla and Smith, so unless it's an elaborate ruse for a massive trade it's just Hanzal being Hanzal. He gets hurt and misses 3-5 games every now and then each year.

Well he needs to get his ass back in the lineup, hes on my fantasy team lol. I already lost Downie for the season...

Ryan O'Rielly is flying back because he has been traded ( i hope )

I hope its grigorenko coming back, just to see what Garth's post looks like.

Hold on while I recover from a case of the spins trying to read this article.

I'll settle for early reports of that trade to spark his blog, but then the trade changes at the last minute. Then we would get to see both blogs... lol

O'Reilly and the Avs need to get this deal done before the weekend is done, the longer he holds out, the more useless he will be once he does(if) comes back.

I am pretty pumped to see Duchene playing the way he is right now, I was pretty impressed at him coming back so quickly after taking that doughty shot to the face. Promising that he isnt as soft as I used to think he was.

Can't believe this Downey injury, i think we must have the worst luck in the league when it comes to injuries.... I bet will see radar back at near the begining of feb ..Hoping so anyways

According to AD, he's on his way back to the Americas to get a medical evaluation on a "minor" foot injury. I'm running out of patience, if he doesnt want to sign for what the Avs want then they need to start checking what teams are willing to give up for him. I hope they are at least listening to phone calls if there are any regarding his availability.

Sorry to hear about Downs. He was an asset here, hopefully the same there.

What's worse than Downie being out is Kobasew being in. I was really looking forward to seeing Downie with O'reilly and Hejduk this season.

Poor Columbus, Official calls Dubinsky for a crosscheck his teammate does, he argues and gets unsportsmanlike.
