Day to Day

Won't play tonight:

Ian Mendes‏@ian_mendes

MacLean says that Spezza will not play tonight. He will be further evaluated, but sounds like he's day-to-day.

A bit more info:

“Spezza is out,” said MacLean. “He’s just being further evaluated so he needs to take some time to do that.”
MacLean said he isn’t sure about Wednesday’s visit by the Montreal Canadiens either. MacLean confirmed Spezza was hurt in Sunday’s 2-1 shootout loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins but didn’t give any further information.
“At this point, I don’t know,” said MacLean. “We expect that he would play (Wednesday) but we’ll have to see how the evaluation goes.”

So conflicted....it sucks for the Sens, but it's good for those of us that own Turris....not to mention I offered Eric Staal for Spezza straight up last week, and was completely rebuked by our reigning champ. Seeing him sit out while Staal lights it up would be pretty sweet. But damn, it sucks for my Senators!

Its annoying when your fantasy team and your favorite team have opposing interests.....I don't know how most of you run multiple teams in multiple leagues. Dealing with conflict between my one fantasy team and the Senators is hard enough on Ol' Gil.

My all time favourites:

This might not turn out well:

Bruce Garrioch‏@SunGarrioch

Coach Paul MacLean says waiting on evaluation before knowing how long Spezza could be out. Extended period hasn't been ruled out. #Sens

I think Spezza is a player that needs to have excellent conditioning. Last year he was healthy all season. It was also the first training camp with MacLean. Many of the players said it was one of the most intense training camps that they had ever been a part of.(sorry no link, I just remember reading it last year) I think Spezza's health was a reflection of that. The almost non-existent training camp this year was a recipe for the IR for him IMO.

hmm , he lasted longer than i thought.

good for turris owners but probably bad for almost every other senator.

How does this tweet from Garrioch jibe with the following comment from Maclean?

"At this point, I don’t know,” said MacLean. “We expect that he would play (Wednesday) but we’ll have to see how the evaluation goes.”

I know coaches are always vague about injuries, but I wonder where Garrioch got his "extended period" information.

For the record, I rarely trust what Garrioch says, seems he often exaggerates, etc.
