Salo Injured-Was The Weekend So Slow That This Is News?

Hey guys sorry for no posts this weekend, but it was a busy couple of days and nothing really happened, other than Sami Salo getting injured...again. Saying Salo is injury prone is like saying that I hit my children too much and have intimacy issues- so obvious that it goes beyond saying. Anyway, what makes it funnier is that he apparently injured himself playing floor hockey. What's even worse is that it was an Achilles' Tendon tear, which is an incredibly painful injury that takes a long time to recover from (and often involves surgery).

Still, this may prove to be good news for Kevin Bieksa. Everyone assumed that once Keith Ballard came into town, that it spelt the end of Bieksa, for the Canucks wanted to clear up cap space and a cluttered blue line. However, now that Salo is going to be sidelined for a solid amount of time, retaining Bieksa's services may now be a necessity, if not a temporary one. Nevertheless, if a team sends over an offer tantalizing enough, I have no doubt that the Canucks will most certainly ship him out of there.
