Don Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I'm putting the whole article here, since it will disappear in the morning. I want to send it back to their editor on Monday. ----------- Rafalski out with broken leg Sportsnet.ca -- New Jersey's dilapidated defence took another blow Saturday night. Sportsnet has learned the Devils defenceman Brian Rafalski suffered a broken leg in the third period of the 3-0 loss to Toronto. The injury will likely keep the blueliner out of action for up to four-to-six weeks. Rafalski was checking Leafs forward Alexei Ponikarovsky when he slid into his own net and his right leg slammed hard into the goal post. Coach Pat Burns didn't elaborate on the extent of the injury but said Rafalski was being sent home for a diagnosis and care instead of accompanying the team to Montreal for a game Monday night. New Jersey has been playing without their captain Scott Stevens since mid-January as he is still recovering from post-concussion syndrome.

Don Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 BTW - I can't seem to be able to navigate my way through the Sportsnet site to find the article.... it seems to have been taken out of their news sections. Odd that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 That's old news, it was obvious his leg was broken when watching the game, did you see all of the blood pouring out of his leg discoloring his ankle jersey? Uhmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Sports Bureau Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 The SportsTicker story is thankfully less fatalistic... although Marty's quote sure leans that way... but I'm sure this will all depend on subsequent testing... and of course how he feels day after. At least Raf's quoted here: TORONTO (Ticker) - The New Jersey Devils' already depleted defense corps took another hit Saturday when All-Star Brian Rafalski injured his right leg in the third period of Saturday night's 3-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Rafalski was chasing Toronto left wing Alexei Ponikarovsky when Ponikarovsky checked him into the net. Rafalski's leg slammed into the left goalpost and he could not put weight on it as he was helped to the locker room. "I got spun around and kind of got whiplashed and then hit the post with my leg," Rafalski said. While Sportsnet of Canada reported the leg was broken, Rafalski was more upbeat. He was able to walk in the locker room after the game but will return to New Jersey on Sunday for further examination. "It's luckily not the knee," he said. "Right now, it feels good. It went numb at first, but now I've got the feeling back. Obviously, I'm walking now, so that's good." The 30-year-old Michigan native is fourth on the team in scoring - and second among defensemen - with five goals and 25 assists in 63 games. He made his first All-Star appearance earlier this month in place of injured teammate Scott Stevens. Stevens, a former Conn Smythe Trophy winner and the Devils' captain, has missed 26 games while recovering from post-concussion syndrome. He only recently was cleared to begin work on a treadmill and expressed hope he could return for the playoffs. "We've been really fortunate through the years to have our defensemen healthy and now two of our key players are out," All-Star goaltender Martin Brodeur said. "Hopefully, we'll get some help because two of the guys that log over 20 minutes of ice time are out of our lineup." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
