Anyone know the status of this?

http://www.russianmachineneverbreaks...only-a-bruise/

does anyone else not trust russian doctors?

Backstrom has missed all three Dynamo games played after the December 26 game in which he was injured. Immediately after that game, Dynamo had claimed that the injury wasn't serious and that Backstrom would play in the next game. http://translate.googleusercontent.c...e7Wa4NIHvi3EaQ

A week later (2 Jan), from twitter (the Foreign Correspondent for SportExpress.ru to CSN Washington's reporter):

Slava Malamud ‏@SlavaMalamud
@ChuckGormleyCSN May be out a couple of weeks. Neck injuries are tough to predict
https://twitter.com/SlavaMalamud/sta...93437069877249

Backstrom's agent has said that his client is "day to day, maybe week to week", whatever that means . . . .

http://www.russianmachineneverbreaks...-week-to-week/

All reports I've seen have said that he has a "neck injury".

Please don't put this on the "Russian doctors"

When Justin Williams can be day-to-day with a shattered leg according to the LA Kings, its really not fair to say that lying about injuries is a KHL thing.

I was referring more about the fact that they zero vested interest in his long term future. "Hey nicky, you are good to go, get out there and play!"

Thats what scares me.

Any news on Backstrom's injury?

Setting up the play.

That would seem somewhat encouraging I guess...if the situation was terrible he would be completely shut down...
