Injury Report: Mike Smith(Lower-body)

[AP]

As we all know, he won't return for the game and not much else at this point.

Some people are saying a hand injury as shown on the cbj broadcast

Left during a commercial break. I have a sneaking suspicion he actually got hurt in the Hawk game but has been hiding/fighting it. Was wincing in that game, wincing tonight early on. No word on severity yet.

****. Labarbera can't carry them all season. That's not good.

He has starter skill, just backup level consistency. They may have no choice but to ride the hot hand until Smith comes back. Looked pretty good tonight. Maybe Visentin gets a cup of coffee?

Jason just said he noticed Smith was injured in warmup

Like I said, Hawk game. Should know better than to try and play through something. It's early. I realize it's a contract year for him, but you can't take risks like that.

Chad?

Chad Johnson is being recalled from Portland.... It may not be the only recall either.

[Grimes]

Could be good for Barbs is a fire is lit under his ass.

Jesus Christ not Chad. Johnson is so ****ing bad that he shouldn't even be in the AHL let alone the NHL.

I think this win may have cost us the entire season.

Ocho Cinco?

At least we know it can't be too bad if he tried to play through it.

#Coyotes G Mike Smith was in the hallway outside the locker room after the game. "I'm fine," he said, smiling. "No media questions."

tightness/cramps is the reason given.

If Smith is out for more than a week we're going to have Chad Johnson starting games. Chad Johnson is a really bad goaltender and we'd be better off with both Visentin and Lee instead of him. Chad Johnson should be down in the ECHL instead because that's a league on par with his skill level.

in his defence Chad Johnson has been outstanding this year in the AHL. He's meant to be a short term stop gap. I think he can handle that role.

Any update on Smith?

I watched the replay but its really hard to tell whether or not he tweaked something or it was simply a bad case of cramps. Any word if he made the flight to SJ or will be dressed?

I read he was traveling to San Jose with the team.
