Something has to give here. 49 contracts now. Kipper injured more than we thought?

Does this mean Kiprusoff isn't close or that neither Irving or Taylor are going to back up?

Hopefully this doesn't mean that Kipper's injury is long-term

does he get put in front of Irving on the depth or does Irving stay as our current first string while Kipper is injured?

Not a bad waiver pickup. Has been around the NHL for a few years and has put up respectable numbers with the Wings.

This makes me think Kipper aint coming back anytime soon....No real reason for this move if he was close to returning

Macdonald would definitely be ahead of Irving. Hartley knows a shaky goalie when he sees one.

Is he hurt right now?


His TSN profile says:
2013/01/19Bulging disc in lower back, injured reserve.

That is not a day to day type injury...

Not surprising. Taylor was never going to get a start with the flames, he was an emergency signing/call up. When the flames waived both back up goaltenders at the end of pre season, it pretty much said that they didn't have faith in either of them.
