Steve Mason Out 2-3 Weeks

[Cobiemonster]

If it's really just 2-3 weeks then that's not terrible, all things considered

So pretty much this is through the end of the month, this is what they have the rest of this month:

at MTL, at CBJ, at BUF, CBJ, BUF, NSH, WSH, at CAR, at TOR, NYR

If he misses just those 10 games, then the Flyers might able to survive through the end of the month

Tough, tough injury though at this point when they're playing really well - it's going to take a miracle to win with Ray Emery

Chy1127 MD was a little off with my 3-4 estimate.

Glad to hear that it's not worse. We'll see if Razor can focus and put together a nice run. The team should rally...

IF the procedure was as minor and successful as was reported there is no reason Mason will not be back in three weeks. Anything less is not reasonable and is frankly too risky.

I read it was a loose piece of cartilage which is a very simple procedure. The recovery is basically the healing of the muscle they had to cut through to get to the piece. Nothing to do with the structure so no extended healing. Dr. Chy1127

It may not matter anyways if we keep losing the way we have recently.
