We have just learned from Beaver management that rookie defenceman Beer Burglar, a standout defenceman for the top team in the division, has been felled by a cheap shot knee on knee collision with an undisclosed assailant from the dirty Kings team. Initial prognosis is uncertain, as his lack of a 7 figure salary with the team negated any need for an MRI at OT Hospital on Wed., though orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Doolittle suspects he might be out for up to 6 weeks with possible cartilage damage. Burglar, ever so feisty, didn't bother to tell doc that he thinks this is hogwash, and thus hopes to be back with the troops in early April for the playoff run for the Canlan Cup (or hot T-shirt Turkish delight has sported on numerous occasions).

Make it a long playoff run boys, I want to partake in the festivities and hoist the mug at season's end!!
