Takara_Soong 4 Posted October 13, 2003 Here are the standings as of games played October 12. NHL Hockey Pool If you see any errors, please let me know. I did discover (and correct) a couple of formula errors which changed a couple of people's totals. I am going by game summaries now but once a week I will check player by player to make sure I haven't missed any points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takara_Soong 4 Posted October 15, 2003 INJURY REPORT: Center Alexei Zhamnov (back surgery) is expected to be sidelined until at least late November. If an injury is listed as day-to-day or the player is expected to miss only a few games, do you want me to include it in the injury reports or would you prefer that only injuries that will keep someone out for over 1-2 weeks be reported?

You're putting alot of work into this project and it is very kind. B) Thanks Bysty! It's been a labour of love so far. B) This pool has really helped me get back into following the game on a daily basis again. When my Jets were here I could name and give information on at least 10 - 15 players from every team in the league. Before I started watching last year's playoffs, I didn't even know there was a team in Carolina. D'oh!! And here are the updated standings: NHL Hockey Pool I did the weekly check to make sure I hadn't missed any points so one or two players' totals have been corrected.

Takara_Soong 4 Posted October 18, 2003 Injury Report: Blues captain Al MacInnis had eye surgery Friday and will miss at least Saturday's game against the Washington Capitals. The Blues declined to release further information on MacInnis' condition although an update is supposed to be given before the Blues next game against Washington. TSN is reporting that the best-case scenario for MacInnis could be a month or two out of the lineup. The worst case scenario being that MacInnis could miss much longer, though it's premature to suggest the injury could be season- or career-ending. I'll update this as more becomes known.

Takara_Soong 4 Posted October 18, 2003 (edited) Here are the standings for games up to and including October 16, 2003: NHL Hockey Pool Here is an update on Al MacInnis: Blues D MacInnis out indefinitely following eye surgery Pool Trade: Lessa Soong and Takara Soong have both traded Al MacInnis for Sergei Gonchar. More on the MacInnis injury: Click for Spoiler: Former Norris Trophy winner Al MacInnis of the St. Louis Blues could miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn retina in his left eye. Doctors also addressed weakening in MacInnis' right retina during Friday's procedure at the Barnes Retinal Institute. According to Blues general manager Larry Pleau, the 40-year-old defenseman will miss at least a month. "The doctor has told him there is a healing process that is going to take place over the next four to 16, 17, 18 weeks," Pleau told reporters before Saturday's game against Washington. "Nobody knows how long it'll be. ... What happens over the next 16-20 weeks, nobody knows." Pleau also said he is moving under the assumption that MacInnis will not return this season.

Thanks for letting me know. When I made the Nylander/Sakic trade for your team one of my formulas got messed up a bit but it is fixed now. Double-checked everyone else's while I was at it. BTW, you guys should be glad I've got Excel doing my adding or the numbers would really be screwed! :) I'll post an updated standings later this evening. It's a very light schedule tonight.

Takara_Soong 4 Posted October 21, 2003 Red Wings assign Curtis Joseph to Grand Rapids of AHL DETROIT (Ticker) - Detroit Red Wings goaltender Curtis Joseph, who is rehabilitating a surgically repaired ankle and soon may be looking for a new team, was assigned to Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League on Monday. Joseph underwent surgery August 20 as doctors removed a bone chip from the back of the right ankle. He is expected to join the Griffins for Wednesday's and Thursday's morning practices and be available to play Friday against Utah. The Red Wings have been trying to trade Joseph since six-time Vezina Trophy winner Dominik Hasek rejoined the team this summer after a one-year retirement. The 36-year-old Joseph has two years and $16 million left on his contract, as well as a no-trade clause. But when Hasek announced his intention to return, the Red Wings picked up his $8 million option for the 2003-04 season. Red Wings general manager Ken Holland hoped to deal Joseph before the start of training camp in September, but surgery backed up that timetable. Detroit also couldn't get rid of him in this month's waiver draft. A 13-year veteran, Joseph left the Toronto Maple Leafs and signed with Detroit last summer to strengthen his chance of winning a Stanley Cup. But he was outplayed by goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere in Detroit's stunning first-round playoff loss to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in a four-game sweep. Joseph went 34-19-6 with a 2.49 GAA and .912 save percentage last season but was criticized for his inconsistency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted October 22, 2003 Flames Goalie Roman Turek to miss a month with sprained MCL -------------------------------------------------- CALGARY, Alberta (Ticker) - Calgary Flames goaltender Roman Turek has a sprained MCL in his right knee and is expected to be sidelined for about a month. Turek injured the knee while attempting to stop a shot by Ales Kotalik 1:33 into the first period of Saturday's 2-0 loss at Buffalo. He played the rest of the way with stiffness in the knee. An MRI revealed that Turek has a sprained ligament. Turek, 33, is 0-2 with a 3.38 goals-against average this season - his third with the Flames since being acquired from the St. Louis Blues. He was forced to leave a game on October 11 against San Jose when Alyn McCauley crashed the crease and accidentally kneed Turek in the head. Jamie McLennan, who is 2-0 with a shutout this season, replaces Turek as the starter. The Flames recalled goaltender Dan Sabourin from Lowell of the American Hockey League to back up McLennan. A native of the Czech Republic, Turek is 57-57-20 and a 2.55 goals-against average and nine shutouts over the previous two seasons with Calgary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
