Ugh....not freakin again...

[DelPen]

I feel bad for Gonchar since this would certainly make him miss the Olympics since right around February would be a good time to return.

We can deal for now, won't be great but bringing in Skoula looks like a great move and he's a solid defenseman.

depending on the severity of the break he could be back in a month or maybe 6 weeks.

Didn't Malone break his wrist a few seasons ago? Think he was out maybe 6-8 weeks at most.

Hopefully it's nothing too serious.

When the hell did this happen?

there was a game tonight!

That's what sucks about the Versus broadcasters. Who's with me that, even if they didn't see it when it happened, that Errey and/or Steigy would've said something to the effect of "Gonchar's not down on the bench."

Let's thank the hockey gods that GoGo is what we thought he was.

the versus guys did say something to the liking of letang and orpik being together cuz gonch is out and wont be back

Completely missed that one. My little one had a basketball game and I DVR'ed the game, so I fast-forwarded through the between-period segments. I sat there wondering "where the hell's Gonchar?"

nvm, Jaffe does color for the NYI.

i believe the comment was right at the beginning of the third

[HedbergLettuce]

arghh. hoping for a speedy recovery.

[slappybrown]

Obviously you do not want this to happen. But to be completely honest, I am relatively unconcerned, presuming he gets back no later than March/April.

EDIT:

And if he is out, the benefit for LGP is the resurgence of the FIRE MIKE YEO threads which will result from the PP performing like it did last year when Sarge was out.

[jeffshly]

There's never a good time for a long-term injury like this, but when the team's on fire and both Tanger and Gogo are both heavily involved in the offense like they are now, I could think of worse times.

Wow, I'm stunned by the lack of concern here. I love our team but losing Sergei Gonchar for a significant period of time would be a significant blow to our defense corps! I'm praying that this talk about a broken wrist is BS.
