Brisebois, Hossa injuries

[Disgruntled70sHab]

I found this on another site and went to the RDS site to confirm it. Brisebois has a broken ankle and will be out 2/3 weeks. I'm not too sure about Hossa though. My French is rather rusty. Does he have an injured/broken finger as well? Here's the cut and paste:

Fracture à la cheville pour Brisebois
L'examen d'imagerie à résonance magnétique qu'a subi, lundi, le défenseur du Canadien Patrice Brisebois a révélé une petite fracture à la cheville gauche.
Le vétéran défenseur ratera de deux à trois semaines et il devrait être de retour au jeu après la trêve des Jeux olympiques.

Brisebois avait été atteint d'un tir à la cheville gauche le 17 janvier dernier contre les Hurricanes de la Caroline.

De son côté, l'attaquant Marcel Hossa sera de retour dans l'alignement dans environ une semaine, soit après la pause du match des étoiles. La recrue est ennuyée par une blessure au poignet gauche.

I suspected that Brisebois had a fracture, otherwise he would have been back in the lineup sooner. It's a shame but the team will get through it; it helps to have a lot of defencemen at times like this.

The translation, courtesy of www.altavista.com, says basically that an MRI revealed the fracture. Brisebois should return to the lineup after the Olympics, missing 2-3 weeks. He sustained the injury on Jan.17. Hossa is expected back in one week; he is being bothered by a nagging injury to his left wrist.

I checked the Habs schedule, and their first game back after the Olympic break is Feb.26. That would make it almost 6 weeks from Jan.17, so that's a reasonable amount of time for Brisebois's ankle to heal.

I've tried to find Altavista's translation software before but didn't look too hard. I'll have to try a bit harder for sure. Much thanks for the translation.

It was speculated that Hainsey's callup was to allow Bouillon to be returned before he played his 10th game (is that the rule? Is 10 the magic number?). From what I understand, a player who has played more than 10 games in the show has to clear waivers in order to be demoted again. Still, I haven't read anything to that affect. Hainsey's callup could be the result of Brisebois' injury.

Anyway, it will be good to get the youngster some exposure. Cheers.

I speak french perfectly and it says this:Hossa will be back in about a week,after the All-star break.The rookie was being bothered by a left wrist injury.

I suspect he will play a game or two and then will be sent down.
