That's fair. If he's having surgery though he's almost definitely going to miss some games.

Yeah. He'll probably be placed on LTIR. He's probably gone at least 3 weeks.
I'm guessing Carlyle just moves JVR to centre. There's no cap room to acquire somebody else without moving Liles first.
Raymond-Kadri-Kessel
Lupul-JVR-Clarkson
Bodie-McClement-Kulemin
McLaren-Smith-Orr
Obviously there's some potential swaps there in Raymond/Lupul and Clarkson/Kulemin. But that doesn't look awful. JVR's going to have to step up to the challenge though. Hopefully Bozak will be able to return by the time his 10 games are up.

Come on man they're both pretty obviously achilles lacerations, that's basically the only thing back there. This nhl.com article even pegs Karlsson's at 70% according to their GM. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=655594 Let's hope Bolland's is 'similar' only because it is a cut to the achilles, and not because it is as bad as that...

Considering most reports/speculation right now is that Bolland's injury is not to his Achilles tendon, I'm not sure how you can say it obviously was. There's a lot of other stuff higher up on the ankle and along the side of the leg.

Time for Joe Colborne to step up with the big team.
Oh, wait...

OK but isn't what we are talking about that Carlyle says it is like Karlsson's injury which was very public knowledge? To me that puts an end to speculation unless you want to suggest he's misinformed or lying.

My guess is he misinformed, or, at least, was making a poor comparison. They were similar in that they were both cut on the leg on similar plays, and, my guess, that's what led Carlyle to make the comparison rather than the specifics of the injury itself.
Also, for what it's worth, the speculation isn't coming from nobodies or guys with questionable credibility. It's coming from well connected guys like Bob McKenzie.

Insight of the game: When Glenn Healy gushed that the Canucks had 11 straight passes without a Leaf touching the puck, on a 5-on-3. Really? That many passes in a row with only 2 more skaters than the other team? Really remarkable, Glenn, truly mind-blowing analysis of such previously unseen puck possession by a team with 66% more skaters on the ice.
Keep up the good work.
Keep up the good work.

I've usually got pretty thick skin when it comes to the guys praising the other team. But tonight was about the worst I've ever heard. A Sedin couldn't fall over without some effusive comment from Healy or Hughson.

I know a few guys who went to school with Kassian actually, and i can confirm that he's a guy who wouldn't be able to function in normal day society if he didn't have hockey going for him.
The guy, other than being able to play, was considered a borderline retard.

I effing really hope that Bolland's not out for too long!
Oh ya and the Canucks... to this day one of my favourite hockey experiences was watching the Bruins snatch the Cup from their grasp. I hope they get close again and get pummeled into hamburger meat.

For the record, this was Vancouver's eleventh straight win over a Leafs team.
Add to that there were 133 total shots that the Leafs allowed on their Western swing, even though the team won 2 out of those 3 games.
As for the Bolland injury...
It would be hard for me to imagine how that was on purpose," Nonis said. "I don?t care what player is hitting him or anything like that. I guess it?s possible, but I don?t believe it."
"I talked to him and he?s a little bummed out," teammate Nazem Kadri said after a 4-0 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. "Obviously, that sucks."
On the game itself and the total shots allowed on this road trip...
"Terrible game for us, probably the worst game that we?ve played this year," he said. "I?m very frustrated with our group right now and the way we?ve played."

What I don't get is why Kassian is leading with his knee on that hit on Bolland. It makes no sense other than to injure.
