I wouldn't be surprised if he was out for the year like Bergeron last year. This is a pretty serious concussion we're talking about.

That's too bad, never wanna see that happen.

Losing Bergeron all of last year really hurt the B's. Think this will have the same effect?

If you mean Sutter missing significant time, yes, it may. You never know with serious concussions, as post-concussion symptoms can linger for quite a while. If you're referring to an extended absence from the lineup by Sutter having a big impact on the 'Canes fortunes, that's doubtful. He's being asked to be a role player (4th line center) at this early stage in his career. Bergeron was/is one of the Bruins best players and he plays in all situations...

Another game, another step towards seeing the Las Vegas Blue Jackets.

Wings win the shootout again. Zetterberg undressed LaBarbera for the winner.

Hopefully the Winnipeg BlueJackets before then....lol

Seriously though, there are a half dozen teams ahead of CLB in that line. The Jackets are practically an original six team compared to Nashville, Carolina or Florida.

Except the Preds attendance is improving...

Gotta love ownership that actually markets the team.

Can't believe I almost forgot the Wings and Ducks were playing tonight.

It's amazing how mediocre the Ducks can be for stretches with the players they have. Niedermayer and Pronger haven't really declined with their play, but the forwards have just been really inconsistent so far. Lots of lazy habits. But it's early.

EDIT: WTF are the Ducks all after Filpulla for? Perry and Getzlaf bookended him skating back to the bench and Perry just jabbed him with his stick.
