Ohlund Injury update: lower body = right ankle

So apparently after missing 5 straight games, it's been released that Mattias has a right ankle injury and is day to day.

Mattias tops Tampa Bay's hot 20 under 40

Excerpted from an article by Stephen Brown - Tampa Bay Illustrated:
The Iceman, Mattias Ohlund, 33

As one of the newest members of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Mattias Öhlund is bringing a new level of determination, and sometimes aggression, to the back-ice as the high-powered defenseman takes to the rink. Öhlund’s career started in Sweden, wearing the jersey for his national team in the World Championships in 1997, and quickly followed by the birth of a NHL career with the Vancouver Canucks in 1997. As a three-time Olympian, Öhlund helped lead the Swedish team to gold in the 2006 Winter Olympic games in Turin, Italy. Signing Öhlund during the off-season, the Lightning and the rest of the Bay hope this is the season the Bolts again lift Lord Stanley’s Cup.

Happy heyday! Hail Henrik's hat trick!!

Watching last night's After Hours with Weekes interviewing Craig Andersen was so painful, I had to change the channel. It wasn't Andersen, it was just Weekes. *cringe*

Anyway, not really quite sure how the Canucks managed an 8-2 victory but they did and Henrik Sedin earned his 1st career hat trick! WOOT!!! YAY Henrik!! And since I can't find a vid of the 3 goals, I'll post up the Sedin swedish twin dancing commercial. Haha!

Hedman is back, Luongo back in net

Lots of little news: Hedman is back after missing a game due to a concussion from that huge hit. The GMs got together and talked about head shots and Mark Messier's new helmet got a plug from Brian Burke (I think). Mattias Ohlund also had a big hit that got everyone excited. Luongo is also back in net after Raycroft had strange performance issues. Still, Lui's presence didn't keep us from losing tonight's game against the Red Wings. I so knew we were going to have a ton of injuries and they'd be missing Ohlund. Oh well, his team is doing pretty well so far. Go Tampa!
