It's not a broken finger after all

More on Matty's finger by Iain MacIntyre:

NO MORE MR. TOUGH GUY: You won't see defenceman Mattias Ohlund fight again for the foreseeable future. Not that he doesn't want to, mind you.

"Yeah, that's a big part of my game," the Swede said sarcastically.

Ohlund has a small brace taped to the end of a finger on his right hand to support a ligament that tore away from bone, causing the tip of the digit to sag. The injury is not a broken finger nor did it occur when Ohlund, who has only a handful of fights in his 11-year career, pounded Erik Cole on Saturday after the Edmonton Oiler took a run at him.

Ohlund said the injury happened sometime during the Canucks' earlier six-game road trip, but only since the Cole fight has he been bandaging the finger more heavily. Anyone who fights with tape on his hands faces a match penalty.

"I don't even think about it," Ohlund said of playing with the injury. "It has no effect."

Ok. So why is he playing crap minutes Alain?
