Staal Out For Playoffs... Maybe... Maybe Not...

((HT: Versus/NHL/FunHockeyVideos))

Depends on who you ask...

Earlier Saturday, Pittsburgh Penguins winger Jordan Staal was listed as "gone for the season" after receiving a severed tendon in his right foot, thanks to the blade of Habs' defenseman PK Subban Friday night.

But... as "lower body injuries" go...
Not so fast my friends, after all... this is the playoffs...

Depending upon the healing process, Staal could join the Penguins by the Conference Final should the team advance that far.

Head coach Dan Bylsma told reporters at the morning skate on Saturday that Staal "was day-to-day."

Aren't we all...

It is a similar injury to the one that caused the Canadiens' Andrei Markov to miss 35 games at the beginning of the season.

Here's that injury... very flukey...

John Forslund and FOSG Darren Eliot continue their busy night...
