Late to this but we're obviously dealing with a canuck troll here. I'm going to stop feeding him.

Still in hospital

Dan Murphy @sportsnetmurph
Alex Burrows still in Calgary hospital. Won't be returning to Vancouver today. #Canucks

^ Does this NOT sound like a broken rib to everyone else? Seems like a lot of days in hospital for a rib?

[Resolute 14]

Well that's odd. I thought they said he checked out last night, but was staying in Calgary.

You can doubt my next insider info if you like, but it comes from a very reliable source close to the Canucks: Burrows hurt his ribs when he fought Russell. Apparently, he was sore but what set it off was during practice when he was taking shots.

FYI - I'm not posting this for attention. I love my fellow Flames fans. I'm just passing on what I heard from a very reliable source.

It doesn't surprise me at all. I had already speculated to myself that the original injury was a result of his fight with Russell.

Of course the Canucks would say the entire injury was a result of the game day skate - to say he aggravated a rib injury from the previous game would be paramount to admitting he was bitch slapped by Russell. That would only further fuel the Flames' physical energy and dominance in the series.

I must say, it brings a smile of satisfaction to my face knowing that Burrows essentially took himself out of the series by boarding Gaudreau and then instigating the fight with Russell. His antics cost him big time, finally!

#Canucks Alex Burrows is out for the remainder of this series. Still in Calgary and not serious, says Desjardins.

2 bits of good news then. Out for the series, but thankfully his injury isn't too bad. Good to hear.

[keratosis]

3 if you include the fact that it sounds like Sven draws in now.

From the evidence and sudden "help" and subsequent caution...
I would guess that its true about a cracked rib.. and he was trying to play through it.. but it got displaced and some sharp part was jabbing into muscle or lung...

Definitely not serious if he's only out for one more game.

Yeah, theres no sense spending much time in hospital for a broken rib, there isnt much they can do.

That said, hes done, this series at least. I could barely cough when I had broken ribs, I couldnt imagine playing hockey.
