Busted finger - Stajan probably slashed him. I hope BMo is ready to go.

According to Swedish newspaper, Expressen, the 22-year-old centre will have surgery to have a pin inserted into is left pinkie finger.

Kesler story... He broke his finger during a game, and told the training staff to cut it off so he could get back out there.
they declined.

Today's NHL is a league of manners as well as hockey. Not being able to lift your pinky finger is a serious drawback.
