Demitra drops F-bomb on Sportsnet. At least he gave a shit about that atrocious effort against Minny. That, or he hurt his groin getting off the ice.
H/T to Healthy Scratch.
"The doctors have come in with a new plan," said Demitra. "I've been swimming for the past two weeks and building up a lot of strength and the movement in my arm is getting better. And I'm now skating, too. We're heading in the right direction."
Everyone is talking about the loss of Sami Salo, who still remains doubtful for Game 3 (more like improbable) but Pavol Demitra and Alex Burrows also left Game 2 with some form of injuries.
Not sure what happened to Burrows, but Demitra tried to hit a Hawk defenceman and got the worst of it. I believe he got whacked in the head.
This is from TSN's Ice Chips. There are no further reports on any of those 3 Canucks.
There is further speculation that Jonathan Toews is playing with somewhat of a serious shoulder injury. If that's the case, the Canucks should be running him more, much like they did to Al MacInnis a few years back.
**UPDATE**Pavol Demitra was missing from practice today.Mason Raymond was playing with Kesler and Sundin, while Taylor Pyatt played on Line 3. Is Pyatt about to return? Stay tuned...
