Manny>Ozzie(by a long shot) 55 Report post Posted May 11, 2013 I read on MLive that Jimmy is fighting an injury and they called up McCollum just in case. They talked as if it was common knowledge that Jimmy was hurt. Does anyone have any more info on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DeGraa55 Report post Posted May 11, 2013 I think this is a stupid question. At this point in the season EVERYONE is hurt or sore. Now does he have something major? Idk he didn't look like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted May 11, 2013 This is the only other thing I've seen alluding to him being injured. It's from before yesterday's game. Ansar Khan @AnsarKhanMLive 10 May Howard didn't practice with team, was on ice earlier. Holland said he is playing tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 I don't care if he is hurt or not. He is playing Game 7. An injured Howard is still probably better than the other options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shoe 165 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 Now that I think about it, the Griffins don't start the 2nd round until Wednesday. Ummm Kinda... Western Conference Semifinal TORONTO vs. GRAND RAPIDS series tied 1 - 1 Game 1 - Fri May 10 7:00 PM Grand Rapids 7, TORONTO 0 Game 2 - Sat May 11 3:00 PM TORONTO 4, Grand Rapids 2 Game 3 - Wed May 15 7:00 PM Toronto at Grand Rapids Game 4 - Fri May 17 7:00 PM Toronto at Grand Rapids Game 5 - Sat May 18 7:00 PM Toronto at Grand Rapids Game 6 - Tue May 21 7:00 PM * Grand Rapids at Toronto Game 7 - Wed May 22 7:00 PM * Grand Rapids at Toronto Logic would say if Howard is hurt Monster starts and McCallum is the backup I would think no? If that we're the case I'd say Anaheim wins game 7 I have very little confidence in Gufstason. Or care to spell his name right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ogreslayer 1,069 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 Last I saw, the move was to have Monster & McCollum on the ice for practice to limit the chances of anything happening to Jimmy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedWingCraig 32 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 McCollum was listed in the boxscore on nhl.com last night as being a healthy scratch...along with the goalie we signed from NMU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) If you listened to the commentary on FSN, they keep Jimmy off the ice when it's humid so he doesn't get dehydrated. That's why he didn't practice the other day in D. Perhaps the weather and crappy ice in Anaheim are the reason. Edited May 12, 2013 by FireCaptain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
