Hearing Dion Phaneuf missed practice today with a hand injury and is expected to be out a while, per NHL source. #leafs

Not confirmed yet, but makes sense given his absence and the lack of details surrounding it.

It is Feschuk, though, so, I'm sure he spoke to Dion's mom, or wife, or someone else not actually part of the Leafs organization or medical staff.

Beat me to it.

Maybe he spoke to his bartender (in the tropics)

Peter Horachek says Dion Phaneuf is week-to-week with an upper body injury sustained prior to the all-star break. #TMLtalk

If true - from one of those fights?  Didn't he leave to go to the room for awhile last game?

If it is actually his hand, it's just helps to show how stupid it is to have guys like Phaneuf getting involved in fighting, since that's likely how he injured it.

jonasTSN1050: Phaneuf suffered the injury during the game in Ottawa. He tried to play through the issue, requiring trips to dressing room amid the action.

So, possibly, the Michalek fight?

It's almost definitely from the Michalek fight, especially if it's a hand injury. But I'm sure they won't actually say that.

So what you're saying is we need Colton Orr back.

Lower wrist injury.

Still trying to figure out how to copy stuff to this site

There you go my friend.

If the Leafs are going to dive head first into the McEichel sweepstakes, might as well. Gotta fill the roster somehow.

Hahahahahahaha now that one is actually funny

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

Phaneuf is injured?      :-X

 

[slapshot]

This is actually a good thing. Gives the Leafs a chance to gauge their line-up with Phaneuf removed to consider future possibilities.

In an off-season makeover, he will likely be the first to go.

Makes sense for at least three reasons 1) shed cap space on overpaid player 2) miscast as captain from the beginning 3) with him, Rielly and Gardiner all being left handed shots and all powerplay guys, Phaneuf was pushing them both down the depth chart in minutes and on the powerplay. Let them play more and develop.

The fact that they are replacing Phaneuf with Granberg and not Percy shows they are looking to add some grit. This will actually be an interesting stretch of games to watch with Phaneuf out of the line-up. They'll probably go on a winning streak...

Hey BBB how did you do that, I was frikken around for an hour before I got tired and just copied the link. Thought it was hilarious and appropriate and as being in AZ for the winter very appropriate.

Either manually type the image tags at the beginning and end of the image link or highlight and use the "insert image" button (the second button; right next to the YouTube button). See below:

Is the Granberg call-up to fill in for Phaneuf?

I read one report that said he initially injured it fighting the Staals and then made it worse fighting Michalek. It's so awesome the Leafs pay him millions to break his hand face punching people!  :

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Any news on Lupul?

Would expect him back any day now.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Joffrey Lupul, Peter Holland, Stephane Robidas and Leo Komarov all back at practice today for the Leafs.
