When I say it is not exactly exciting news, that’s because it means nothing. He’s not going to get to play unless there is a string of injuries. At least not yet.
When the news first came down, there were several reactions. One was wondering whether someone had gotten injured and we were not informed right away.
While that is always a possibility given the intensity of the playoffs, it is not the case. There are surely people on the Blues’ roster that are banged up but everyone is available and, with the exception of the swapping of Steve Ott and Ryan Reaves, will be part of the team for the foreseeable future.
