Saku absent de trois à quatre semaines
Le capitaine du Canadien, le Finlandais Saku Koivu, devra s'absenter de trois à quatre semaines en raison d'une entorse ligamentaire au genou droit.
Koivu, qui a disputé les 82 matchs de l'équipe la saison dernière, a quitté le match de samedi contre les Sénateurs d'Ottawa, tôt en deuxième période, après avoir été mis en échec le long de la bande par le défenseur géant Zdeno Chara.
C'est la première fois de sa carrière que Koivu se blesse au genou droit.
Il espère toutefois être à son poste pour le premier match de la saison, le 9 octobre contre les Sénateurs.
It is the first time koivu is injured to the right knee

I hope he will take the full month to recover and not coming to quick.

This is great news, now everybody can let go of a collective sigh of relief, he'll probably be back for the first game, if not, he won't be out that long, this will give the chance for one of the young guys to shine
habsfan11 09-22-2003, 06:26 AM i hope he heals quickly. Koivu is a warrior and this wont set him back too far. Expect to still have a solid season this year.
Gros Bill 09-22-2003, 06:28 AM Oufffffff !
In English : whewwwwww ! (sp :joker: )
Glad it's not serious, but it seemed like a such an innocent hit ...
Cariboux 09-22-2003, 06:29 AM I wish this is going to be his only injury this season...
AK-47 09-22-2003, 06:32 AM Great news. Couldn't imagine the start of the season without Saku especially when you consider the schedule the habs have.
HABitual 09-22-2003, 06:32 AM The only good thing about this is that it happaned early in pre-season so he won't miss too much of the regular season. I hope this sends a message to the other players that it's their time to step up and show they belong.

Worst case scenario, he misses 2 games and it opens a spot for a youngster to start the year. (higgins, or more likely Ryder)
Kirk Muller 09-22-2003, 06:35 AM Glad it's not serious, but it seemed like a such an innocent hit ...
but they usually are, more often than not, an innocent hit is what causes knee injuries.

Good point,
Ligaments tend to be very fragiles, so even the slightess contact can cause an injury.
Gros Bill 09-22-2003, 06:49 AM Good point,

I agree, but you often see hits that seem much worse (like knee on knee hits) that don't result in injury.
Now I just hope Saku doesn't get a hernia from hauling his cash to the bank (or does he have an assistant for that?)
AK-47 09-22-2003, 06:55 AM [QUOTE=Gros Bill]I agree, but you often see hits that seem much worse (like knee on knee hits) that don't result in injury.
You can never be sure when it comes down to ligaments. Just glad to hear that we won't be without saku for long.
AK-47 09-22-2003, 06:57 AM That injury assure to Ribeiro a spot in the line-up, he will have the chance to prove what he can do!
A young gun like Chris Higgins will probably have a great opportunity to make a place for himself!!
Finally, that injury is maybe not so desastrous if ever Koivu recover 100%
I always felt Ribeiro had his spot nonetheless, but you're right this tends to accentuate that probability even more.
Owen Wilson 09-22-2003, 06:58 AM How is he going to be ready for opening night? I believe we are 2 weeks away from opening night.

I could be wrong, but doesn't the season start on october 9th for us.
Koivu could miss 2 games or more. I'm not sure, I hope someone clarifies this by checking the schedule.

yes, we start Oct 9th, in 17 days
Munchausen 09-22-2003, 07:19 AM yes, we start Oct 9th, in 17 days
Well that just means he's going to miss only 2 to 4 games, maybe even less if it heals quicker, and that gives an opportunity for a young center to shine during pre-season with added ice time.
habscout 09-22-2003, 07:21 AM I hope that Koivu takes the full 4 weeks to allow the
ligament to heal. That would mean that he would only miss
4 regular season games, which is not too bad.
Obviously, it may also give another young player a chance
at some icetime, but I suspect that the extra time will
probably be distributed among the other younger forwards
[eg. Ribiero,Ward,Bulis] rather than put someone like Higgins
into the lineup. It's just my prediction, even though I
personally can't wait to see Higgins play for the Habs.
BLONG7 09-22-2003, 07:24 AM :handclap: Man that's good news, just a few weeks... has there been any time frame on Kilger's return yet ???
Capitano 09-22-2003, 08:00 AM This has to be very frustrating for Saku. I can imagine the disappoint he's feeling right now. No, it's not as bad as it could have been but either way he's going to miss 3-4 weeks of top-notch conditioning and he'll have to start the season at full speed. It'll be tough for him for sure. I can't believe how many injuries this guy has had...it's just insane. I really hope Higgins pans out for us, we need a guy that can stay healthy for us.

Marc the Habs Fan 09-22-2003, 10:40 AM Thank god there is no tear or something like that which would have been devastating.
I'm putting a couple of dimes on him being ready for game 1. If not he misses a week and is ready to go right after.
