Ow. Ow. Ow. And did I mention Ow?

JWillie out 4-6 months, needs surgery on his left ACL.

When I saw him go down last night in that freakish display of ill-luck, I immediately grabbed my knee in sympathetic pain. My knees, they are sensitive beasties.

In response to JWillie’s injury, the ‘Canes have called up Brandon Nolan from Albany and added a top-six forward to their short-list of needs for this season along with a new defence.

Happy Yule, folks–all I’d like at this point is to give Tampa teh beatdown in their barn and make John Tortorella’s head explode, and we’ll go from there.

Go Canes.

Another One Bites The Dust

Not literally, of course–but Nicky Wallin will be on the shelf for about a month as he recovers from shoulder surgery and a groin injury.

In other news, Chairman Mo skated the Leafs until Craig MacDonald collapsed1 on Wednesday, a move which surprised absolutely nobody in the Caniac Nation. So much for the “most talented team I’ve ever coached”, huh?

Whatever.

Well, shit.

I had this whole thing all ready to post about the “let’s avoid the State Fair” roadtrip–including a rather lengthy diatribe about how I loathe the NC State Fair–and then I yanked up TSN.ca to read this:

Jason Blake has leukemia.

That kinda makes everything an afterthought, really.
