If it's anything like Gonchar's last year, his recovery time may well be closer to 6 months.

Still, this pretty much fixes CHI's cap situation for the start of this year. It's not ideal, but it works.

Here's what i see happening.

2010- Blackhawks lose to Wings in conference finals, Wings win the cup
2011- Hawks lose to Pens in SCF
2012- Hawks lose to Sens in SCF
2013- Hawks lose to Thrashers in SCF
2014- Hawks Lose to Wings in Conference Finals, Wings win the cup
2015- Hossa retires, with 0 cups, feelin like a fool.

:^^^^:

hahaha Thrashers winning the cup in 2013?

That would be the Quebec City Thashérs, who loaded up at the deadline with Mendenev's money.

Haha okay fair enough

We could call them the Quebec city Vidangeurs !

Firday is one of the worst days to have surgery as most surgeons are still recovering from the 19th hole on Thrusday.

So the surgery is July 24 and recovery is typically 4 months, which brings us to November 24. And they say he probably won't be ready for the opener on October 2? He's probably not going to be back until December.

If he's only going to miss October and November, does that qualify for LTIR? I doubt it.

I see we both suck as spelling Friday.

HA HA!

But mine was intentional. Note, also, the peculiar spelling of Thrusday.

Sure it was...

Well, it was, and that's why I misspelled Thursday. That's all I can say about it. Not looking to start a fight but just setting the record straight.

I guess I should use the smiley more often.

HA HA! No - I realize you did it on purpose... it was a smooth move..

Not sure. I'd think so, tho'. Normal IR is a 7- or 10-day thing. I'd think that anything longer gets your LTIR relief. But that needs checking.

Anyway, all I know is that Gonchar had a very similar injury, and he was supposed to be ready to go come November/December, and didn't play until February. I know this because he sat on my team's IR most of the year, not winning me my pool (which I won in spite of him, of course).
