Black & Blue Leafs - Injury Report

[ZBBM]

Or did he get hit in Columbus, and that caused it?

The hit that knocked him out of the game in Columbus didn't look like anything that would have caused an injury to an otherwise healthy player, so, my guess is the hit aggravated a pre-existing issue.

Ah, the old "innocent-looking play" ? those are sometimes the worst of all.  I'm thinking you're right.

There's a chance Kulemin may be back Tuesday according to the Star.

Also on wearing the protective guard:

?Everybody is going to wear it now,? said Kulemin. ?It?s not a big difference. Maybe a difference on the turn. You get used to it.?

Kulemin, Fraser and Lupul are all participating in practice today along with Liles.

 

[drummond]

good to hear that Kuli is already practising. Leafs need some finesse on third line.

Carlyle says potentially Kulemin and Fraser may return to the lineup on Saturday.

That would be a great shot in the arm.

Yeah. I get nervous when more than one forward is out at any point. Crazy that it all happened at the beginning. I'm really looking forward to seeing Kuli play and where he'll slot on the team.

Any news on Mclaren and Ashton's possible injuries?

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Ashton is fine, his nose was just bloodied, no repeat of the break.

That kid needs to stay out of the fighting game...I think he's gone anyways when Kulemin comes back.

Yeah, I don't think he's going to be a regular boxer, but he made a bad hit and kinda had to answer the bell on that one.

Kulemin skating on a line with Lupul and McClement per Mark Masters.  Sounds like he'll be in the lineup tomorrow.

they will be a line that hands out some black and blue. as well as a line that can shut down or score. I'm liking it as well.

Mark Fraser has to now wear a brace on his left knee because of the injury. While not comfortable with it, he will likely wear it all year.

Well, at least he doesn't rely on his skating I guess.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Kulemin's been taken off injured reserve so he should be in the lineup tonight.

EDIT: Also, Bozak has been placed on long-term injured reserve.  Earliest he can return is November 21.

I'm a little surprised with the Bozak news. I wonder why they waited so long before making todays decision.

Yep, had a feeling his injury was worse than they were initially letting on. Damn though, that kind of sucks.

On a sidenote, I was never a big fan of Joe Colborne, but right about now he would be pretty useful to the Leafs.
