Canucks have another dman injured. Alberts out with a broken wrist.

Dan Murphy's twitter: Andrew Alberts has a broken wrist and will go on LTIR. AV says Salo is fine. Yann Sauve is coming up from Manitoba.

ok this is starting to get kinda comedic.

I don't get how you can compare the two and even call the guy a goofball. I thought players with that kind of passion for the game were revered, not ridiculed.

1. It was a joke. Put your balls back in your pants.
2. I never called him a goofball.

He was just shopping around. Nobody bothered to bug him.

i think the 'goalie graveyard' curse is gone .. but now we have a defenseless defenseman curse.

even when we target guys who never miss a game to join the team ... they all end up hurt. just can't win!

its always the blues that snap our streaks

The way things are going, I wouldn't make jokes like that.

Broken wrist and only out 3 weeks? hope Alberts is that fast of a healer

Took Datsyuk 6 weeks I think. (Maybe 7, before actually playing in a game).

After hockey fan's $50,000 goal, charities almost get hosed
By Greg Wyshynski

On Saturday night at the Pepsi Coliseum in Indianapolis, Richard Marsh stood at one end of the rink and stared down at the opposite goal, which was covered by a board with a small opening for a puck to slide through.
The USHL's Indiana Ice were holding a special "Hockey for Heart" night sponsored by St. Vincent Heart Center of Indiana. If Marsh scored on this extraordinarily difficult rink-length shot in the team's Allstate Good Hands Shootout, $50,000 would be donated by Allstate to St. Vincent's Cardiovascular of Indiana and the American Heart Association.
After the Ice's mascot took an inspirational heave of the puck down the ice, Marsh took his shot ... and sent the puck through the board into the net. Check it out (no sound on the video, FYI):

Here's the remarkable part: Marsh could have kept the money if he won, but decided before he even took the shot that if he made it, he was going to donate it all to charity. There was just one prize of $50,000; all of it was going to St. Vincent's Cardiovascular of Indiana and the American Heart Association.
Awesome, right?
One problem: Marsh didn't completely follow the rules.
According to the USHL, Marsh was "standing in front of the designated starting line" when he released the shot, and thus "the insurance company voided the award due to Marsh" standing in the wrong place. Which makes it a real killjoy. Isn't there some sort of exception for ridiculous goals scored by guys who look like substitute physics teachers?
(Clarification: There's been some vitriol in the comments regarding AllState, so we contacted the USHL about its role in the matter. Sure enough, Brian Werger of the USHL said the initial release from the League didn't clearly state the fact that a third-party insurance company hired to cover this event at Ice games, and not Allstate, was the one that made the call not to pay out the $50,000.)
With that, it was Paul and Cindy Skjodt to the rescue. The Indiana Ice owners, who are credited with keeping the franchise alive in Indianapolis, "made a donation in recognition of the accomplishment" to the charities, according to the USHL. The amount of the donation was not disclosed.
All in all, a heartwarming tale. Mascot hugs for everyone.

Suave? Where's Ryan parent

I remember hearing that if Luongo ends his winning streak he's going to debut his new mask at the next game. I like the new mask so I hope it's true.
