Simon Gagne and Jeff Carter will both have surgery on their right foot this Friday.  Both Gagne and Carter suffered a fracture in their right foot during the game last night.  Ironically they both came from interfering with a slap shot.  Gagne was hit with the puck shot by New Jersey’s Kovalchuck.  Carter was hit by teammate Chris Pronger but at least his injury resulted in his second goal of the night.

Both players are listed as day-to-day and obviously won’t be able to play Thursday.  However it us unsure when they will exactly be able to return.  So what is the team losing with Gagne and Carter unable to play?  Well undoubtedly they are losing two players who are considered as leaders to the team.  Gagne has been Read the rest of this entry »

The team has it all.  They have the seasoned veterans that have been on the team and understand the system.  They have the young fresh players that are looking forward to contribute in any way possible.  Then there are the new additions to the team that are excited to come into an organization that wants to win, and wants to win now.   Read the rest of this entry »
