Calgary Flames forward Joe Colborne is week-to-week with a broken thumb, the team announced Friday.
Colborne was injured in the second period of the Flames' 3-1 preseason loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday and didn't return. He was hit by an Andrew Ladd shot.
This injury is his right hand. His surgery this off-season was in his left wrist. I don't know which wrist troubled him through 11-12 and needed surgery.

It was his left wrist in 2011-12 that he had surgery on as well.

If Colborne is in the Flames future plans they need to restrict him to one year deals from now on.
WTF does contract length have to do with a guy getting his hand jammed up in a hit and breaking a thumb? Maybe the Flames should have only given Giordano a one year deal since he seems to spend 20% of every season on the IR?

Because it would be silly signing a depth player with chronic wrist injuries to a long term contract.
Injuries don't really worry me but I'm not as high on Colborne as some around here. I had high hopes for him going into last year but have since soured on him a bit. Hopefully he can have a strong season and prove me wrong though.
