According to our very own Pat Steinberg, the Flames were without Curtis Glencross at the morning skate today. What’s worse is the fact that David Moss left in the middle of the practice, apparently hurt.
Of course, we certainly don’t know the extent of these potential injuries so it’s probably useless to speculate. That said, the Flames have 11 games left on the sched and probably need 7 wins to secure a playoff spot. Losing Moss and Glencross for any length of time at this point would be…uh…not good*, so let’s just hope this is standard maintenance stuff.
*ironic aside – hard to believe that the Flames post-season hopes might ride on a pair of guys worth less cumulatively under the cap than Steve Staios alone, isn’t it?
Also, Pat…that twitter background has simply got to go. Makes me want to stab my own eyes out Oedipus Rex style (but for purely esthetic reasons).
UPDATE – Via Pat in the comments (with editorial comment added)
– Moss is indeed hurt and unlikely to play tomorrow (doh! That’s what we get for singing his praises).
– Glencross was out due to the birth of his child (Good news on all fronts. Congrats Scoreface).
– Jokinen was down with the flu (I always wonder if it’s really the flu, or it’s catch-all for just about anything from food poisoning to alcohol poisoning). Probably means he’ll be a GTD tomorrow.
– Modin out with for "maintenance" (no surprise given his extensive injury history. No big loss either given his play so far).
Little did you know that I have the power to edit your comments. But here we are.
I have no problems with opposing fans contributing or even gloating. But you add nothing here, Todd.
Be gone.

Enjoy your team while you can. With the albatross of a contract you morons gave Lou you won’t be hanging on to your young stars. You’ll be in the same state we are in now and the same that Edmonton was in 2 years ago. Besides, get to the final at least and then you’ve earned some rights to gloating. Oh yea, and to be CANADA’S team, you have to be a team that Canadiens like… nobody likes you!!!
Ignoring the troll is the best option I think folks.
I assume that was editorial decison Kent?
Well played, and much appreciated!
Lol I really am curious to see what it said…
It was nothing interesting or else I would have left it up.
YOu guys can’t take a joke, did you really delete my post? What are you 12? Anyways KARMA Flames lost AgAIN! bye bye Flames.
Yeah, Kotalik ain’t coming back. Not until the team is in the playoffs and there’s no potential consequences of his being recalled at least.
It’s a pretty not-ideal situation either way.
Speaking of which – Ales Kotalik on re-entry waivers!
One ill advised and arrogant comment by Mr. Wilson. Had to eat his words this time.
