alfie out 4-6 weeks (confirmed)

Cheechoo has heart though... I'd add Winchester, Ruutu, and Carkner to the list.

This is simply a killer!

That may be the case, but until you have a source that you can quote... it is speculation/rumour.

I understand. Speculation and rumor it is than.
For a little bit until it goes public.

It seems that he'll be out for 4 weeks, according to one report.

Note that the article also says that his chances for playing on the Swedish Olympic team are not in jeopardy. So, basically refuting everything you said in your original post.

If we were told two years ago we wouldn't have Alfie Spezza Heatley-the world would have come to an end. Now it's just lets see what they can do...

Well, to be fair, two years ago we didn't have Michalek, Kovalev, Foligno, Cheechoo, Regin, Karlsson.

Agreed. But come on wprager, cheechoo adds nothing so he shouldn't be in this group. Yes he wasn't around, but he can't help us like the others have the potential to.

Only mentioned him because he was part of the package for Heatley. And I still think he has potential.

At this point I'm still waiting for the Sens to let us all know. It's encouraging and makes sense (the Olympic Team angle) but I can afford to wait until this afternoon.

Has anyone seen this:

Daniel Alfredsson (shoulder) is expected to miss two-to-four weeks
after suffering a left shoulder injury on Wednesday. Ryan Keller was
recalled from Binghamton of the AHL and will replace Alfredsson in the
Sens' lineup. - TSN

That's been updated since this morning.... 2-4 weeks sounds very promising.

Just heard now, thank goodness, maybe we can survive the 3 weeks. Maybe.

Looks like that 6-8 weeks was total crap.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Would you put up a new thread on this? I'll delete this one? I'm running around like a chicken with no head today.

Nah, don't delete this, we need to give cloverleaf an opportunity to man up.

Okay.

Merry Christmas again to all, I'm almost out to run around seeing family again.

Clouston says Alfie expected to be out 4-6 weeks:

Well, technically 4-6 and 6-8 overlap at some point around the 6 week mark.

So, out 4-6 weeks, Olympic participation could be affected...

See, that's what I was waiting for. Grade 3 separation, just like cloverleaf said. The return date is another matter. Given that it's Alfie, he could very well come back sooner that most people. We'll see.
