Stalberg missing at Leafs practice

As per the Toronto Star, "Viktor Stalberg, who scored his second goal of the season in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to Buffalo, is not on the ice. Stalberg hurt his shoulder during the second period of that game when he and the Sabres' Adam Mair collided hard in neutral ice.
...
His absence has Rickard Wallin, a healthy scratch the last three games, practising on the fourth line with Colton Orr and Jamal Mayers. "

what kind of gobbledygook is this?

I have nothing interesting to say.

I saw it at the game, he collided with Mair (actually Mair tried to hit him and failed) and Stalberg went to the bench grimacing. The trainer was massaging his shoulder from time to time on the bench for the remainder of the game.

Damn, Stalberg looked to be finding his game again. I don’t like the fact that so far he looks to be made of glass.

Update from the star:

Stalberg will not play tomorrow night.

Ugh

Wallin is not an adequate replacement.

It sucks how all our young guys who we are trying to give chances to play with the big club are all getting hurt or so. Mitchell, Gunnarsson, Stalberg, Bozak (flu)…

That being said, it’s hard to complain considering how many star players are injured on other teams.
