I'm sure there have been more already but this one grabbed my attention so I'll start the thread we all dread.
From Flyers GM Paul Holmgren " Michael Leighton has a bulging disc in his lower back and is expected to be out of the lineup for one month."

I feel so bad for Leights. They originally listed it as a sprain and announced the bulging disc today.
Others I know of off the top of my head - -Marc Savard - still having post concussion issues - return unknown -Jordan Staal - battling foot infections after the skate slice in the playoffs last year - they're hopefully for "early" in the season, last I saw -Josh Harding - torn ACL/MCL - likely out for the year -Kyle Okposo - shoulder surgery - out indefinitely -Mark Streit - torn labrum and rotator cuff - out 6 months -Matt Stajan - shoulder, I think it was -Ian Laperierre - post concussion issues, out definitely
There's more, I know.
We can always include our own -
Sergei Samsonov - strained neck - unknown timetable at this point - may not go to Europe with the team

Good lord and it's only preseason! I did know about Staal and Savard, they just slipped my mind.

Seems to me Sid the Kid was out with groin/hip strain....but he has the same problem every pre-season...maybe it is time to re-do the off-season workout....something is obviously not working.

The Lightning have had some with Smitty being one (broke the bone in the tip of one of his fingers though its being said he should play Friday). Colorado has had a few too with Mueller? suffering a concussion (his 3rd).

Wait a minute. Mueller?? I'm going to have to go look for details. I think I drafted him in a league! UGH!

I hope this isn't a sign of the way this season is going to go with all these injuries. *ugh* I feel so bad for Sergei if he can't travel with the team. Although I'm really glad his injury wasn't any worse.

It's official - Sammy will not go on the Europe trip. So sad for him. Ah yes...Smitty. And Drury too - he broke his finger as well. I vaguely remember hearing about Mueller too. I think Sid just missed a period. LOL. Most guys have groin issues in pre-season...ours are usually called maintainence days. Varly is apparently hurt too, but nothing serious.

As of right now Smitty will play tomorrow. I think all the other hurt ones on the team are just soreness and bruising. Mueller was suppose to be wearing a new helmet from what I remember and then he didn't. And now he is out. Poor Sammy, that sucks he can't travel with the team.

Crap...did everybody sit around all summer and avoid workouts.......this many injuries don't usually happen until later in the season.

Looks like Leighton is scheduled for back surgery on Monday and will be out at least another 6 to 8 weeks. Also in a stranger event the Thrashers goalie, Pavelec fell out completely unconscious in front of his net in the middle of their game against the Caps last night. He was taken off in a stretcher and rushed to the hospital. Word this morning is that he came to in the hospital and asked what the score of the game was. He was being held for observation. It was a scary sight though, the kid didn't move a single muscle the entire time.

Dude, missed the news about Leights. That sucks for him.
The Pavelec stuff is very scary. We were trying to catch up during our last layover on Saturday and it didn't sound good at all.
