Some exciting news.

Sweeeeeeeeeettt! Full practice? Awesome!!!

During a two-on-one drill during Thursday's morning skate, Leclaire took a shot from Mike Fisher square on the forehead.

Hopefully it was just a slapshot and not a snapshot.

FROM FISHER AGAIN??!!!!

That's almost hilarious.

Ok...after reading the article, it's really not funny. That sounds really bad. I don't think we'll see our man Leclaire again this season boys and girls.

Is there a chance he could go on IR?

Probably LTIR if it's as bad as it sounds. So, it'll clear up some space for us to get someone else. Problem is, we're going to have to give something up we don't want to give up to get a capable starter...

That's a real shame. I thought he might be able to come back and actually go on a run. If he's out for a while do you trust an Elliott/Brodeur tandem? I doubt it. We'll need to make a small move.

Biron is too expensive though in terms of a 1st round pick - even if it's a 2nd round pick, that's pricey. Who the heck else is there?

I don't know...how do we find out? Who is a UFA right now that can do a good job? Obviously not Gerber. Do we sign Hasek again?!!!

EDIT: 2009-10 HC Pardubice CSEx 3 1 0 2 195 8 111 0 2.46 .928 ...okay that's only in 3 games...

I'd rather focus on the defenseman TBH.

...Oh...Of course Hasek is injured again. Maybe it's a sign though? No Olympics for him.

TSN says a week. Big Diddling deal lol.

We're so lucky there. That could have been so much worse. A week seems like child's play for Leclaire. No big deal.

It doesn't sound like it's going to be a week to me. You can't come back from an apparent bad concussion in 1 week. There are so many tests you have to go through in order to be cleared. And, knowing Leclaire's healing abilities, it doesn't look good.

On another note, did anyone know that Vermette has 36 points so far this season??!! 14 goals. Nutty!

They also said Alfredsson would be out until well after the Olympics. So take it with a grain of salt until it's confirmed 100%.

It's awfully late in the day to have heard nothing on Leclaire.
