STREIT SURGERY SUCCESSFUL; EARLY RETURN?
Plus: Bruno Gervais’ message to Quebec City
11:15 am, NVMC: There is a report out of Switzerland that Mark Streit has already undergone successful shoulder surgery at the Cleveland Clinic and there is optimism for a return in February. This would not be a total shock because teams often cautiously over-estimate a player’s return so it’s a bonus if he returns “early.” The Islanders have not made an announcement yet on Streit’s prognosis.
Matt Martin skated today, but has a bone bruise on his foot and is out for tonight’s game. So is Rob Schremp (back spasms), who will be replaced by Doug Weight. Rick DiPietro starts in goal.
Here is a video message from Bruno Gervais (in French) to the people of Quebec City before the Islanders’ split-squad flew there this afternoon:
Comments. More later.

Send KO to Switzerland for his surgery by the same doctor then. May we’d have the Beast back in November.

(5) No one is saying he had his surgery in Switzerland. The report came from a news source in Switzerland.
(3) Plan right now is to sit with my laptop in the stands…CB

He had his surgery in Switzerland, or they are reporting on him?
I thought he went to the guy who did Dougie’s shoulder in Cleveland Clinic. -
CB…I will be there too…Hope we will run into each other…
I guess I will look for a guy sitting in the stands with a laptop….
I will buy you a drink

Martin the french Canadian says:
Hey Chris, you are here in Quebec city today ?

poutine avant le match?
That will definitely slow bruno down.

Pete says:
Hey, at least Bruno lost his baby face. He looks more like a man now. So maybe he’ll play hockey like a man instead of a baby.
Anyway, is Nathan Lawson still in this organization? He hasn’t played in one pre-season game.

Russel Ginart says:
Pete #13, you are right, I don’t recall Nathan Lawson playing at all yet.
CB is he still in the NYI system? If so why has he not played yet?
-
Rombough says:
13 & 14:
I believe Lawson (and Poulin) are injured.
He’s still in the organeyezation. With Koski having a good camp, it looks like one of the two will be tending nets somewhere other than The Bridge. -
Brother Rat says:
Pete/13 – haha, I had the same thought about Bruno when he was talking. Looks like his cojones have dropped. CB, why didn’t you get an Anglo-Canadian to speak to the Saskatoon fans in Canadian English? You coulda had a guy riff on their texas mickeys, gorbies, and double-doubles.
