Injured or Not Injured?
Eric Cairns was traded to the Penguins yesterday. A good move in my opinion. They need some big defensemen, and they certainly need someone to protect Sid the Kid more.
But can he play?
From TSN’s Cairns page:
18-Jan-06: Broken ankle, late February.
Really? An admin from the Penguins official message board named “Pens Front Office3” writes:
I watched him practice today and I talked to him in the locker room afterward and he was walking around. I never got any indication he had any sort of injury
This wouldn’t be the first time TSN had a phantom transaction listed this season. Within a few hours we should know. I’ll either hear back from the team, or Cairns will (should?) be in the Pens lineup tonight.
Update: Cairns is playing in the Rangers-Pens game tonight.
Update Fri 215pm: The Penguins have confirmed Cairns is not injured.
