Not telling us about injuries

Alright, I am having a moment. I am frustrated as a fan that the team is not disclosing injuries to the public. Wouldn’t it be nice to know when some of these players may be coming back??? Besides the fact that it is frustrating, I think there is a legal argument that as a consumer, I should know who may or may not be playing the night I am paying a hundred dollars per ticket for. It is like going to buy a car and not knowing if you can get parts later if there is a problem. Or going for a hair cut and not knowing who may be working. You may get a hack job you just don’t know. I just cannot understand the thought process. It is one more instance where a league is thinking about what is best for them and not what the fans want. I have spoken to many Canes fans and we all hate the rule. I don’t think this is a good economic time for the league to be irritating the fan base. Whew, I feel better now…..

Ken,

The reason the league gives for holding back information about injuries is that if the true ailment became known to the other team, they would target that ailment in an attempt to further injure the player. Take it for what it’s worth. Paul Maurice was joking after one game as he told everyone that Seidenberg had a groin injury. He laughed and said that if the other teams wanted to target that, good luck to them.

Staal has a bad hamstring. If it feels well enough to day, he will play.

Perhaps I am wrong here but if a player is not capable of playing at a high level without fear of getting targeted, he should not be on the ice.

There were a lot of people saying that there was no way that Doug Weight could have planned that hit out since the game is so fast…but we are to believe that other teams are skilled enough to pick out a specific player and a specific body part and hurt them at full speed while still trying to win….I don’t buy it.

Sure, you can change guesses right up until game time. :-)

by Bob Wage on Feb 7, 2009 4:03 PM EST up reply actions  

this change obviously only applies if Jokinen makes it onto the ice…
otherwise I’ll stick with my original guesses…
