Tony_ Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=146365&hubname= MONTREAL (CP) - Montreal Canadiens captain Saku Koivu did not skate Friday and is to miss a third straight game with a groin injury. Koivu will not be in the lineup for a game Saturday night against Anaheim at the Bell Centre. ''He's day-to-day,'' said head coach Claude Julien. ''We hope he'll be ready for our next game on Tuesday (against Phoenix).'' Returning to the lineup are defencemen Andrei Markov, who has served a three-game suspension for shoving an official, and Mike Komisarek, who missed three games after the death of his mother from cancer of the pancreas. The Canadiens had a week off since their last game, a 3-2 victory over Los Angeles last Saturday night. Koivu skated this week, but Julien said he did not aggravate the injury. The club called up forward Garth Murray from AHL Hamilton ---------- I wonder if Garth will actually play a shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycing Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Originally posted by simonusat least they called up the right guy for the role The role of bench warmer? lol. I hope they at least give the 4th line some more minutes... I mean sure we've had a week off and the guys will be rested, but how long can we stick to rolling only 3 lines and there and not face any consequences? Sucks we'll be missing Koivu, but if it means he'll came back better and healthier... so be it. I'm sure we'll still find a way through for the W.

Lol, yeah true, but I just mean, come playoff time, we'll be a very tired team. That's looking more long term... as of now, we've already got guys trying to play through injuries (Bonk), and making it worse... Gotta give that young blood sime ice time!

JMMR Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Well that sucks. Maybe he just wants to keep Kovy company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
