Injury guesses?

[puckhead]

Kesler - groin / abdomen?
Ehrhoff - was taking shots for pain in shoulder
Edler - broken fingers, + ?
Hamhuis - back
Henrik - back? (Eager hit, but he was toast in NSH series too)
Glass - something in core as well, he couldn't hit anyone

Samuelsson - knee, Raymond - back, Malhotra - eye, of course


heck of a season... attrition took its toll after 100 games.

what a fucking warrior. season's over Kes, you can let down a bit.


Ryan Kesler? He wouldn't admit to anything.

Despite playing on one leg and having his teammates marvel at his resolve to take shots to endure the pain of a suspected groin tear and hip labrum tear, the Vancouver Canucks bit his tongue when he could have leaned on a crutch of convenience following a bitter 4-0 loss to the Boston Bruins in Game 7 at Rogers Arena.

"I'm not going to sit here and complain about injuries," said Kesler, who had a game-high six shots but just one assist in the series despite 18 shots. "I gave it everything I had tonight and I'm proud of that. I can walk out saying that it didn't happen and it's emotional to talk about right now.

"For me and for a lot of guys in this room, we can hold our heads high."

murph says about Hamhuis:

Hamhuis is going to need surgery to repair groin and abdominal tears.

these are some pretty serious injuries ... and EVEN WORSE they are the type that are going to carry over into the start of the 2011-12 season

Kesler is a warrior.

I'm a proud Canuck fan. They faught till the very end... they just had nothing left.

Start of next year is going to be an opportunity for some of our young prospects to get in some games with the seriousness of some of these injuries.

Canucks post mortem today. Injury news: Dan Hamhuis has groin tear pull which might keep him for the start of next season. More
Kesler and Samuelsson also with groins. Edler two broken fingers, Henrik Sedin had back problems thoughout the playoffs.


here's a bonus tidbit:
Kevin Bieksa sounds close to signing. "I think everybody takes less to play here. If you want to win you have to take less. I'm optimistic."

and from Kuzma:
UFA Salo on taking pay cut to stay: "For sure. The latter part of my career, it's a good chance to repeat and it's a perfect fit for me."

Win win on Salo and Bieksa. And no surprises on the injury front. We were banged up.
