Exactly. He and Charles Wang were on NHL Hour with Bettman, and that's the word on Okposo. He also said he was hopeful, but not certain, that Streit would be back before the end of the year.

Man this is bad news...I thought he'd be back in December.....Early on already he's making a case for band-aid boy team and maybe some additional responsibilities with the team...like stock options...Quick riser among that corporate rank!

Dec 23 RW Kyle Okposo (right shoulder surgery) had a torn labrum repaired Oct. 1, but he's back skating and hopes to return in early January.

According to Yahoo!

I sure hope Yahoo is right, but Wang and Snow are closer to Kyle O than Yahoo....So right now I'd expect late JAN and if it's early JAN, than yay, surprise!

Wasn't he supposed to return december?

I thought so too but sparrow pointed out he heard about late JAN..These long term injuries are killing me....I need Kyle back so much bc I just lost Spezza and now I'm reeling from first down to 3rd in my league.....Looking worse and worse for my chances this year..

ya everybody's team is being affected by injuries...what a weird year. Tons of injuries, not too many head-related.

Thank god not too many head-related lol....

I don't know how Okposo hurt himself, but this seems to be an awfully long recovery....In another of my leagues, losing Parise and Markov squarely did me in. I'v got no chance there....In my sig league I was in first until everyone started getting hurt or started sucking....Rask lost his job and Rinne got hurt and Lindback came from nowhere and now poof.....no chance to win this year...Oh and I made a trade for Spezza that now I DEEPLY regret...Also traded away Dustin Brown last year but who could have seen this from him?!?!? Ward is sucking and gets rashes, Hemsky is Hemsky, Subban can't live up to his billing, Chara has forgotten how to score, so have the Capitals...Oh boy what a 2010-11......

At least Crosby is a machine, or I'd be toast...

Well I jacked this thread didn't I...? lol

Ok, so Kyle Okposo due back sometime in the next few weeks...There, back on track! lol

I need Okposo back and Spezza. My team is as weak as it is with Tambellini, A Stewart, Brassard, and Kulemin being 4 of my 6 starters. Malkin and Couture will have to carry me.

If I remember correctly he is the one that hurt Streit and then hurt his shoulder in practice (don't remember ever saying how it happened)...
